Prana’s Paradise is a 10-acre off-grid homestead nestled in a 1,000-acre nature reserve, just a stone’s throw from Naples, Florida. This is a working piece of land where simplicity meets intention. Chickens, turkeys, and the occasional woodpecker roam freely or call from the trees. A mini donkey, mini goats, and their babies (when around) live in nearby paddocks and love attention—so be sure to bring some carrots. Friendly cats and dogs may wander by for a visit, curious and always up for a pat. Hundreds of exotic fruit trees grow all around the property, offering a glimpse into what’s being cultivated here on our homestead—both in the soil and in spirit. At its heart, Prana’s Paradise is a place to slow down, disconnect from the noise, unplug from society, and reconnect with nature, fresh air, and a simpler way of living. We hope to see you soon!

A lightly wooded 1 acre private cabin site featuring a cozy modified A-frame cedar cabin. You may feel like you are in the middle of nowhere, when you are actually in the middle of everything! This is an ideal and secure home base for heading out on day trips. Just minutes away in any direction are Southwest Florida’s premier nature preserves, estuaries, sanctuaries, state and national parks. Delnor-Wiggins Pass and boat ramp access to the open Gulf are 14 miles away. Audubon’s Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary, the CREW Wildlife and Environmental Area, Everglades National Park, Lover's Key, 10,000 Islands and the Florida Panther Wildlife Management Area are all just minutes away. This is a "dark" location, which is excellent for stargazing. Note: We are located within the Collier County "mosquito control district". This is a huge plus+ in the summer months.
