Eco-community
-
•There is so much now on the planet that is out of our control and yet now is the time to re-create the life and lifestyle that you want.
-
•We know the land that is available at the lake and our vision is to share a property with 3 or 4 other families, couples or individuals.
-
•Resources on the planet are becoming increasingly limited; the idea of small individual units with shared facilities is efficient and eco-friendly.
-
• The climate is perfect for solar and energy independence.
-
•We envision sharing community resources such as a pool, hot tub , sauna, studio-yoga room, guardian, gardens, water and power systems.
-
•The flexible planning regulations of Guatemala make it possible to subdivide a property and give individual ownership or co-operative shares.
-
•We have the design skills and knowledge and local contacts to make this vision a reality.
