What we do

Self described Venture Socialist seeking People Interested In Building a Home on their Own Lot in a Eco Affordable Subdivision. This is a Social Benefit Project which Seeks to Provide Affordable Accessible Home Ownership.  As the Project Founder (Developer), I am prepared to take only a Small Development Fee.

I am seeking Assistance from like minded individuals as Co Developers ie  Builders, Planners, Government Grant Experts, Web Designers, Surveyors, Road and Utility Contractors and Social Media Influencers.

The Land sits on a Bench overlooking the Northern Desert Village of Cache Creek,  British Columbia.  Cache Creek is located 4 hours North of Vancouver.

The Property is Spilt Zoned allowing for both Small Lots and Farming Activities.   The Farm land will Community Owned.   Services required will dictate the Lot Price. The more DYI Infrastructure activities Community Members Engage in the Lower the Lot Costs for those Individuals and All Members.

There is Water Available at the Lot Line which needs to be brought up the Hill and Stored.  This will provide Gravity flow water pressure to the homes.

Eco Friendly Attributes Include:

Solar Power

Earth Tube cooling

Passive Solar Design

Grey Water Recapture

Breezeways for 3 Season Out Door Activities.

At Present, there are Three Cost Effective Home Designs Contemplated 1 1/2 Story Stick Built, Straw Bale, and S.I.Panels.          Earth Ship, Cob and other Non Conventional Designs are Welcome Subject to Local and Provincial Regulations.

As Cache Creek is a Hot Rod Town, a Community Shop is planned, where Members can work on their Vehicles, Assist Each Other and Socialize.

This Project is at Ground Zero and I am looking for Like Minded Persons to Assist in Making  Eco Affordable Housing Ownership a Reality in the Province of British Columbia.

Yurt Living & Joining our Family Rhythm (West County Sonoma)

We are a friendly English family of four living on a beautiful, remote property between Sebastopol and Occidental. We are looking for a grounded, proactive individual or couple to move into our yurt and join our daily rhythm. We live a screen-free, Waldorf-inspired life with our two sons (9 and 7) and our labradoodle puppy, ‘Rainy.’ Our boys are “real characters”—creative, high-energy, and robust. We’re looking for a partnership with someone who can help us maintain a calm, organized, and fun home. The Role & Schedule (20 Hours/Week Baseline) Your rent, utilities, and occasional family meals are covered in exchange for a consistent 20-hour weekly commitment: Childcare: 2x per week (4 PM – 8 PM) and Saturday mornings (9 AM – 1 PM). Outings, basketball, soccer, hiking, and bedtime routine. Cooking & Tasks: One mid-week block for bulk healthy meal prep. Ownership of boys’ laundry, dog walking, gardening, and basic property/pool maintenance. House-sitting: Keeping a watchful eye on the house and puppy when we are away. What We Offer Living Space: Private, standalone yurt with beautiful views over Sexton Valley. It has a “treehouse” feel, a new outdoor kitchen, a private bathroom, and a heated outdoor shower. Community: Access to 1.5 acres, including a hot tub and pool, with opportunities for gardening and mutually supportive living. Terms: No rent and no utilities. Overtime is paid at $25/hour. About You You are proactive without a to-do list. You have a clean driving record and proven experience with kids (ideally in a school or camp setting). You understand how to hold firm, playful boundaries and have a sense of
