Project Selva Private Homes Deep in the Jungle

Location and property overview

Project Selva offers private homes set deep in the Peruvian jungle on a large property that spans from seventy five to one hundred hectares The entire area is under private ownership 

The master plan limits the number of homes to twenty units which keeps density low and preserves quiet Each home is placed at a generous distance from neighbors Homes rise within the central area of the property and the boundary lines are clearly marked for orientation and stewardship

The nearest settlement is far from the site During the dry season travel may take around fifteen minutes by motorcycle or twenty minutes on foot 

During the rainy season and on washed out tracks walking time may extend up to one and a half hours Access planning is part of the welcome process and includes advice on footwear lighting and load limits for safe trips
