Phase 1 open now — building the first guest house

Reset your body.
Build something
that stays.

A month off-grid on a mountain in the Brazilian jungle. Work mornings. Rest after. Eat and drink cleaner than you ever have — and help build the place while you're here.

Live off the sun

Live now

No grid. No bill. This is the power running the mountain right this second — solar coming in, battery bank, the whole place off 28 panels and the sun. (Showing sample readings — live feed connects soon.)

What this is

A health reset and a build project at once. Come to get well. Leave having made something real.

We live off-grid on a mountain in the Atlantic Forest. Our own springs, our own power, our own animals, our own food. A month here does something to your body that's hard to explain until you feel it.

Right now there's one guest room. The plan is bigger. I'd rather build it with people than pay a crew — so you get the full reset in exchange. Mornings we work together. The rest of the day is yours.

Mornings
We build
together

A few hours, five days a week. You bring a real skill; you'll pick up the rest of off-grid living as you go — power, water, soil, animals.

The rest of the day
Yours,
completely

Train, swim, read, sleep, eat, do nothing. Come down from whatever you came here to leave behind. This is the part that resets you.

03 The build log Skilled hands wanted for each one

Five projects, in order. For each one I'm looking for someone who knows that trade — and wants to learn the rest of off-grid living while they're here.

Right now it's Phase 1: the first guest house. If you can build — carpentry, masonry, general construction — and you want a month on the mountain, this one's open.

1

The first guest house

One room today. We're raising the first standalone guest house so two can stay at once — and the next person has a bed. This is what we're building right now.

● Open now
2

Improving the hydro system

Upgrading how the mountain turns falling water into power. More independent, more reliable — for the person who wants to understand off-grid energy end to end.

3

The second guest house

More housing again. Room for more people, more hands, more of this. Every build makes the next one possible.

4

The BBQ area

A proper open-air place to cook and eat together — fire, grill, a table under the trees. The heart of where everyone gathers after a day's work.

● Later
5

The underground bunker gym

An independent gym built into the mountain — cool year-round, off-grid, a serious training space carved underground. The most ambitious build on the list.

04 How the mountain runs itself What you'll actually learn here

Off-grid isn't roughing it. It's a set of old, clever systems that feed themselves. You'll live inside them for a month — and learn how they work.

01 · Power
Sun to socket
28 panels charge a 67 kWh battery bank through Growatt and Victron controllers. The sun runs everything — lights, water, kitchen, the gym. You'll understand the whole chain by the time you leave.
02 · Water
Straight from the spring
Mountain springs feed the whole property by gravity and simple pumps. No treatment plant, no chlorine — just some of the cleanest water on earth, arriving because of how the land is shaped.
03 · Food
Grown, not bought
Chickens roam the forest, fruit trees drop through the seasons, the garden turns over year-round at this altitude. Most of what's on the table started within walking distance of it.
04 · The soil — terra preta
Turning jungle into black gold
One of the oldest tricks in the Amazon: terra preta, "black earth." Mix charcoal, compost, and time into poor tropical soil and it becomes some of the most fertile ground on the planet — and stays that way for centuries, pulling carbon down as it goes. We make it here, and you'll get your hands in it. It's the difference between taking from the land and building it.
Read this first

This is a working homestead and a real build site. Not a hotel.

Deep jungle means real quiet and real stars — and also real bugs, real weather, and no shop around the bend. The work is honest and sometimes tiring, never brutal, never alone.

Want a resort? Not this. Want to be tired for the right reasons, sleep hard, eat food that left the ground that week, and point at something and say I built that? You'll fit right in.

05 Apply A few honest lines is enough

We mostly want a feel for you, what you'd like to help with, and when you'd come.

We read every message and reply to the ones that fit.
