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!

What a great spot, in this adorable mini home. I loved that there was an outdoor area to widen the space. It was the perfect spot to stay, and visit the nearby national parks, one to the east and one to the west. Our hosts were so sweet and extremely accomodating. We hope to be back again one day. Thank you Alex and Loida!

We had a great stay in Loida and Alex's camper! The location was perfect for us -- just 10 minutes from the entrance to Everglades NP but also close to town, making it easy to pick up groceries. The camper was cozy, spotless, and well-stocked with everything we needed for our stay. The property was quiet with a lot of privacy, but it was nice having the hosts around in case we had any issues. Overall, a great way to end our trip to South Florida!

Weekend Trip to SWFL Everglades Camping
I loved the treehouse "glamping". The room was so cute- with nice little touches like a cooler for food and little solar powered lights to use when generator wasn't running. Property is beautiful. We put our trail cam out on the road at night and recorded a coyote! (No panthers though :( ). Best starry sky I've seen in Florida
