55 acres, 32 lots, two phases
Phase One is 11 lots fronting Highway 143, a public national road. Water, electricity and internet are connected, the building sites are delineated, and construction can begin now. Seven of those lots are open to founding partners.
Phase Two is 21 interior lots, each a minimum of 5,000 square meters, designed to run off-grid.
Our 55 acres of agricultural land, roughly 22 hectares, contain 32 residential lots. They are offered for sale in two phases.
What is in the ground
Water
Our own deep well, with supply capacity for up to 100 homes. The water is treated without harmful chemicals and reaches every lot through below-grade water lines.
We are not dependent on a municipal supply.
Electricity
Phase One is connected to the national grid through ICE, the national power company. Phase Two is designed to run off-grid, with sun, wind and biogas and battery backup.
Internet
Gigabit fiber optic internet is installed and operating across Phase One, suitable for remote work and daily use.
Phase Two will use satellite.
Roads
Internal roads are graded and surfaced with lastre, a permeable stone base suited to highland terrain and maintained by us.
Security
Gates control access to both Phase One and Phase Two. Our team lives and works on site, so fewer outside contractors need to come through.
Sanitation
Every home has its own septic system and rainwater collection tanks.
