Swiss Family Robinson



When watching Swiss Family Robinson (the 1960 Disney version) growing up, I was fascinated by the idea of a magnificent treehouse and the idea of self-sustainable living. Naturally, I became excited to learn of this development located in Costa Rica today. Finca Bellavista is a treehouse community that maximizes sustainable living (powered by a hydroelectric turbine and utilizing rainwater). The neighborhood includes a community kitchen and dining room, a bath house, barbecue lounge, and Wi-Fi area. It is located in the midst of a jungle, but the address is not given publicly, until one reserves a room. Rentals range from $40-$250 per night, depending on the season. Parcels to begin construction on your very own treehouse start at $55000.
