Finca Bellavista
Dearest Mr. Lent;
While I appreciate your stance on BS marketing strategies for trying to peddle real estate as a "green" concept, I take great offense to your attack on our character and that of our project at Finca Bellavista. I generally do not respond to bloggers as I feel that armchair critics offer little hands-on real-world experience in their opinions. Given the context and focus of this website, I felt obliged to respond.
To touch briefly on your comments, my wife, Erica, and I founded Finca Bellavista to preserve 350 acres of secondary growth rainforest that was slated as a timber harvest site and was actually being marketed as such through the website where we discovered this amazing property. I think that if you take the time to do a little bit of research prior to formulating your opinion, you will find that your comments are way off base. And, FYI, we had to remove the directions to our location due to the incredible amount of interest people the world over have had in the project. We have a very special place here, it is not a tourist-trap, and we would like to preserve its peaceful locale and natural beauty. If you would take thirty seconds to have a look at the photos on our website, you will also note that the treehouse(s) on the property are definitely arboreal, and quite stable (largely due to our in-house botanists determining safe, secure, and ecologically-sound host trees for our arboreal dwellings).
Please take the time to read our Guidelines found on our website, and if you have further questions, please feel free to contact us via email in a more objective manner and we will be happy to answer any questions you might have... In the meantime, I encourage you to get out and explore the fact that there are, in fact, people out there trying to make a difference in the world. Also, FYI, we see and hear Tapir, peccaries, monkeys and many other wonderful critters here all the time.
Respectfully,
Matt Hogan
