Eco-Village

Published on 18 Jul 2008

Live – Work – Play in the community of the future. A unique community for people who want a low impact, high quality lifestyle. In the Slaney Valley with views of the Blackstairs Mountains, we are creating a natural, sustainable community and invite you to join us.

Our low-impact objectives are zero carbon; self-sufficiency in energy and water and self-management of waste. The approach imitates nature in unit design, facilities, layout, infrastructure, living conditions and lifestyle. High tech home design follows biomimicry and the Precepts of Ecological Design. Organic fruit and vegetable gardens, poultry, apiary, orchards and woodland provide fresh food, biofuel and timber. A small lake and paddock add to the diversity of life. And it is a short walk from a nature club in ancient woodland. There is also an IT and entertainment centre, library, trading post, childrens’ play area, sports area, art centre, wood, metal and mechanics workshop and learning centre based on Pestalozzi’s principles of “hands, head, heart”.

If you would like to help develop the vision or live here, please call Tom on 059 91 55037.
