Welcome to Eco-Chateau FACEBOOK PAGE Eco Chateau - Co-housing Sustainability Project
We look forward to being a centre for 'the new paradigm', a living, dynamic and evolving 'village', prescribed or limited by nothing more than the creativity, imagination and talents of each and every one who joins in. We envisage a small eco village that has no prescribed philosophy but that has a commitment to the freedom of each person and a deep respect for each other. From the beginning, we will establish guidelines to ensure this is upheld. This will be a co-housing village, not a commune - in practical terms, a revival of the model of an ancient village, with collective activities and sharing that supports the private and personal lives of each. The chateau will form part of the village, providing a space for communal activities. With a combination of generations, talents, skills, equipment and resouces, we will create a strong and thriving place where everyone will be able to contribute something important.
