General overview

Remote village life in Sumatra within walking distance of wild orangutans and the Gunung Leuser National Park. The natural earthbag-built home is passively cooled and sits atop a hill overlooking the jungle and mountain valleys with 360 degree views. Set on 2 hectares of land and completely off grid with solar panels, rainwater tanks and a natural spring. Nine mature durian trees and countless other tropical plants line the winding road that leads up to the house.

Guest access

Not suitable for people with accessibility issues. The house sits 300m up a steep driveway from the main road.

Notes

Neighbourhood

Our home shares land with an ecolodge and small homestead. It is quite remote and the surrounding villages are culturally very different from western life. Not many people can speak english and there are no shops or grocery stores, only local markets. An exchange here would suit someone adventurous who is willing to explore outside of their comfort zone. Staying in the ecolodge as a guest would be an easier experience if you'd still like to explore this part of the world and the incredible wildlife nearby in the jungle.

Getting to my home

From Medan airport we can help you arrange a private car with driver to bring you to our place.

Nearest airport

Medan Kualanamu airport is 7-8 hours away by car

Getting around

From the main road (300m from the house) you can catch a local bus to travel into nearby villages to explore or visit markets. It's also possible to rent a scooter to get around.
