Prana's Paradise

33mi from Big Cypress National Preserve · 3 sites

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 wooded 1 acre private cabin site featuring a cozy, modified A-frame cedar cabin. There are several areas around the cabin site for guests to utilize . The area immediately around the cabin is fenced. A more isolated and remote area is located approximately 125 yards from the cabin area. One of the campfire pits is located out there. Coyotes, Foxes, Bobcats, Raccoons, Armadillos and more have all been spotted and photographed on the property. Birdwatchers will enjoy Florida’s rich avian diversity, including Owls, Ospreys, Hawks, Falcons, and Eagles. Many water birds frequent the property’s small pond, though it is a seasonal pond. This is an ideal home base for "day trippers". Just minutes away in all directions 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 nice for stargazing. Note: We are located within the Collier County "mosquito control district". This is a huge plus+ in the summer months.

Weekend Trip to SWFL Everglades Camping

Beautiful and peaceful land to camp on. Lots of wildlife and plants. Property owners are very welcoming, nice, and knowledgeable about the land and area.

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
