About
Origins
Dismayed by dismal political discourse and anxious about cascading climate change, we set out in 2019 to find a quiet piece of countryside in interior B.C.
On our tour of numerous listed properties, we came upon a glorious 37-acre mountain-side bench with spring water, spectacular views, a large organic garden, unfinished post-and-beam barn-loft, and old cabin.
Our option-to-purchase proved to be fortuitous when the COVID-19 pandemic emerged. We exercised it in Spring 2020 and have been gradually building out the ultimate homestead to share with other friendly, eco-minded, tiny-dwelling communitarians.
We started with a rental model and are now transitioning into an Equity Cooperative – interested in finding neighbours, not tenants.
