Ecovillages promote healthy houses and renewable energy. Preliminary building design guidelines are in place. There are professional log home and “ready to assemble” local builders in our area that have very attractive economical models available. Alternative self-build is encouraged subject to  local building codes.

Site information

There is space for families and many possible building sites. River and mountain views with south facing slopes are abundant. Power, potable water and roads are in place to the existing Common House and adjacent to the primary building sites. Current zoning provides for a wide range of possibilities. A cooperative housing model with shared ownership of: the land, community and agricultural buildings, and the option of shared communal meals is seen as a suitable foundation. http://www.chf.bc.ca/
