Enjoy Pucon's charm in our beautiful, custom, eco-home below Villarrica National park. This unique find is ideal for adventurous nature, bird, garden, and cooking lovers. We've got a dream kitchen for exploring the local cuisine. Come stay in our comfy, spacious, well-insulated, home and live like a local. We're in a safe and quiet neighborhood. Enjoy the tranquility of mountain life, stars, bird song, and incredible drinking water. Hike and ski to Villarrica NP from the house! WINTER 2024 NOTE: We have an insulated new roof and an additional wood stove and backup solar power! It's looking to be a big winter -- we already had snow in April -- so if you're up for a true winter mountain adventure, but in comfort, come stay with us! Be sure to come with 4x4 vehicles this winter and plan for snowy conditions. Come live like a local and see why we feel so fortunate to call this incredible place our home. This is not a regular vacation rental, it was our home for over 9 years. We have a very comfortable, spacious, and beautiful homestead that we are offering for you to experience. We hope you will appreciate all the details that have made this place so special for so many. We now have Starlink satellite internet, and the home office is set up, so we can offer you a great place for virtual work. Our large master bedroom has lovely views from the king-sized bed which opens onto a huge deck with a built-in claw-foot bath. The bed is amazingly comfortable with cotton sheets and a silk/down comforter (we do have other options for those who can't do down.) There is also a couch in the master bedroom with a pull-out bed for extra guests or little kids. It includes a small custom-made desk/workspace, lots of English books, and a wood stove and a TV monitor to (maybe) connect to your laptop or watch DVDs (we've got some DVDs you might like, there is NO cable or regular TV). The second bedroom has a queen bed with a forest view and morning sun, and its own door to the deck. Both rooms have black out curtains for sleeping-in days. The bathroom has a tub and shower with a forest view, lovely for sunny morning soaks. If you love baths, you'll love the outdoor tub on the deck in the early morning listening to bird songs, or at night under a star-filled sky with the milky way and perhaps a shooting star. We've got a dream kitchen to create everything from gourmet meals to simple snacks, with a big gas stove and oven, as well as a wonderful wood cookstove/oven. We've got all the pots and pans and utensils you'll need, and a host of great cookbooks in English and Spanish, and many condiments and a variety of spices. There's an herb garden outside to add local flavor to your creations. There is a smart TV in the kitchen/living area now too. We just put in a new wood stove between the kitchen and dining area, so in addition to the cocina leña (wood cook stove), you should be very cozy downstairs and upstairs this winter. The outside is magnificent, with beautiful views and lots of lush, green forests and gardens and flowers and birds in summer, or beautiful snow in the winter. The song birds are fabulous in the morning and evening, and then there are the stars! There is lots of room to run and play, for kids of all ages. Our organic gardens and greenhouses have lots of organic raspberries and Concord grapes in early summer, blueberries in summer and fall, and apples and in the fall. There are likely veggies in one of the two greenhouses or garden for you to enjoy as well. We appreciate your help watering everything (or let Rosa know to water) to ensure lots of fresh, organic produce. Please harvest only what you'll eat and leave some to share with our next guests. We have lots of toys for all ages, including board games, a yoga mat, and more. We also have a "tent cabin" in the woods for a quiet retreat, or overnight campout (with your own sleeping bags and pads). Our house is a well-insulated, comfortable home with plenty of hot water and firewood and 3 wood stoves, including a fabulous wood cookstove. In winter, you must be prepared to chop wood and heat with wood, as it is the only heat source. Come here to escape the world (and even Pucón's summer party scene). We're 20 minutes (without traffic jams) from Pucón, Chile's adventure capital. It's only 30 minutes to visit the quaint Mapuche village of Currarehue; Anita Epulef’s world-class Mapuche restaurant just before you arrive to Currarehue on the right is an epicurean delight. From there you can head up the Andes to the gorgeous araucaria forests and views of Lanin at the border with Argentina. We have a very pet friendly house (wth dog beds and dog doors and lots of room to run and play), and welcome well-behaved and clean pets. The yard is not fenced and you are expected to keep your animals from running away and bothering any neighbors as well as nearby farm animals.
