The property, in pictures

Twenty acres of gardens in the Andean hills above Rionegro — twelve rooms, a working farm, a water circuit, and a kitchen that cooks what the garden grows.

The grounds

Twenty acres

The property sits in the valley outside Rionegro, ten minutes from the international airport and an hour from Medellín — close enough to reach easily, far enough to hear nothing.

The Mountains of Hope property seen from the air: houses, pool, courts, gardens and the stone labyrinth, with the Rionegro valley beyond Aerial view of the property at dusk, the buildings lit warm against the lawns, with the pool and courts below The surrounding Rionegro countryside from the air — the property small among fields, woodland and scattered farms A wide open lawn running down to the long open-sided pavilion, framed by trees under a bright sky The circular stone labyrinth photographed from directly overhead, its pale walking path set into the grass The labyrinth in the foreground at night, with the main house lit warm behind it under a deep blue sky

The house

Twelve rooms, and the rooms between them

Carved timber beams, pale floors, and doors that open straight onto grass. Every room looks out at something.

The brick driveway curving up to the main house at dusk, lit low and framed by tall palms The main house and lap pool at dusk, the interiors lit warm, with the treeline and evening sky behind The main living room under carved timber beams, with long sofas, pale wood floors and tall windows The double-height library with built-in bookshelves, armchairs and a woven pendant lamp The presidential suite, a tall open room with a wall of windows, seating area and woven pendant lamps A guest room under exposed timber beams, with a large bed, a woven pendant lamp and doors opening to the garden A twin guest room with two beds, a bench at the foot and glazed doors opening onto grass A guest bathroom with twin stone basins, a woven pendant lamp and a walk-in shower A covered terrace with wicker seating, opening straight onto the lawn with palms beyond

Water and recovery

Hot, cold, and the space between

Sauna, steam, cold plunge, saltwater pool, and the temazcal at the treeline — the circuit runs through most days here.

The lap pool with loungers and parasols along one side, looking out over the valley and mountains The lap pool and the long pavilion at dusk, with loungers along the deck and storm light over the trees The cold plunge pool set into the deck at the end of the lap pool, with the lawns and houses behind The timber-lined sauna with bench seating, a stone-filled heater and a window looking out over the grounds The steam room — a dark tiled chamber with a built-in bench and a low band of warm light along the floor The domed temazcal set in planting at the treeline, with a tiled sun motif laid into the ground in front of it

The table

What the garden gives

Organic, grown on the property, harvested the same day. Guests keep mentioning the food in their reviews — which is unusual for a medical facility.

From the air, and on the ground

The valley, as it is

Drone passes over the property and the surrounding Rionegro countryside, and a handful of shots taken on the ground.
