The Essence of Shamballa: More than a Farm, a Way of Life
Shamballa is not just a place; it is a life project, a philosophy of peaceful and conscious coexistence. Here, the rhythm is set by the sun and the moon, and each day is an opportunity to learn, grow, and live more integrated with the Earth.
We operate completely off-grid. We manage our own energy through solar energy systems. We manage our own water supply with super-natural, uncontaminated well water. This water comes from a region of natural springs and the nearby groundwater tablelands of the San Marcos River. We manage our biological waste through dry toilets and sanitation. We have a dual internet system, one connected to a local service, and we also have Starlink antenna.
* A Deep Connection with Nature: We are surrounded by a native forest landscape in the Comechingon territory. A peaceful sanctuary where biodiversity is abundant. You will enjoy starry skies without light pollution, the sounds of nature, and the opportunity to observe local wildlife. It is the ideal place for those seeking serenity and a respite from urban life and pollution.
* Happy Animal Home: Our animals are part of our extended family.
* We are looking for guardians who will provide them with the same love, attention, patience, and respect that we do. Their well-being is our priority.

Our Adobe Home with Soul,
Shamballa's main residence is a beautiful and cozy adobe house, built using ancient techniques that resonate with the land and the environment. It's not just a structure; it's the heart of our space, designed to blend seamlessly with the landscape and offer unparalleled natural comfort.
* Rustic and Natural Ambience: The interiors reflect the warmth of the earth. With its softly textured walls and warm tones, the house radiates a sense of calm and connection with nature, thanks also to its large windows and beautiful interior garden.
* Simple and Conscious Comfort: Here you will find essential comfort without superfluous luxuries. It's a functional and practical space, perfect for those who value simple living.

We are looking for a start date by the middle of july 2025, and for at least 2 months, but prefer a 4 months stay

Can I bring my own pets?
