The Lavra

Welcome to Havn Hill and Discovery Culture, a serene and sustainable retreat center nestled in the rainshadow of Washington’s Olympic Peninsula. This organic, ecological, permaculture-based retreat center and farm is a sanctuary for individuals looking to reconnect with the rhythms of the natural world. We are a tiny house permaculture homestead and community. Recently we have become a retreat center hosting the public. We are blessed to steward an amazing 10 acres with second growth forest and 2 year round streams. We do forestry, orcharding, poultry raising, gardening, superfood production, maple tapping, nursery work, herb growing, and park like landscaping. We host community here in various forms. We are strong entrepreneurs manifesting ways to generate abundance. We are very connected to our incredible regional community and often host events like apple pressing and cider production. Lots of projects are underway and planned for the future. The most recent one came to a conclusion last autumn. It is a stunning eco-conscious community bath house, complete with a wood fired sauna and ozone hot tub. Next up on our agenda is a tropical greenhouse and wood yurt temple and yoga deck. Nestled within the lush landscapes of Washington State, our organic, ecological retreat center stands as a testament to the harmonious coexistence between nature and human endeavor. Embracing the principles of permaculture, our haven is a sanctuary where sustainability, mindfulness, and ecological stewardship converge to create a unique and rejuvenating experience. We have a 2 story large tiny house for sale on our property. It is complete with a large cedar deck boasting a great view. It is hooked up to our septic system, electrical, internet, and well water. It was built 1.5 years ago on site using German building science and materials, metal framing, a tiny house chassis, and local woods. 3 large skylights in the ceiling are amazing. The bath room is spacious and boasts

Located on 7.5 acres (3 hectares) of land, with 10 fully-furnished one-bedroom housing units, a 3 bedroom/2 bath house attached to the main lodge, an inifinity pool, a 2500 sq ft wellness center, spa facility and breathtaking yoga studio, and main lodge with industrial kitchen complete with appliances, dishes, and utensils. Below the lobby is a spacious laundry and storage facility for housekeeping. With a comfortably furnished lounge area and activity room and dining balcony overlooking the breathtaking jungle, this property provides a move-in-ready start for a sustainable co-housing community. The wellness center features 4 bedroom-sized spaces (can also be offices, treatment/ meeting rooms) and 2 bathrooms on the lower level; and an expansive, open-air octagonal teak wood yoga studio space with durable Palmex roof and rain shades, plus kitchen and storage on the upper level. Another 2 bedroom/2 bath house is also on the property, as well as a fully functional glamping tent with bath & shower. Water is sourced on the property from an abundant mountain spring, and the available Wi-Fi is excellent. The land is full of edible plants and fruit trees (mango, plantain, coconut, guava, noni and more), plus a large hydroponic greenhouse and free-range chicken pen with roaming space. You can harvest up to 200kg per year of organic tumeric and ginger. Along the jungle trails down to the creek bordering the property, you’ll find a re-forested area of 600+ semi-hardwood Pochote trees (quite valuable!) and other diverse flora in abundance. The land can also be developed further into 5-7 additional lots for sustainable home sites, plus plenty of space and organic soil for more permaculture planting. Neighboring land could be available on both sides of the property for future expansion. There is an infinity-edged pool with lounging area and bathroom, plus an expansive laundry/storage facility.

My husband and I are seeking people to join us in forming an intentional community or cohousing group, committed to values of sustainability, sharing and “enoughness”. We cannot afford to buy a $600,000 house, nor do we wish to only be among others who can afford that. Once we have a committed group, we would like to seek creative financing alternatives to make community living possible. Our website is http://lupinecohousing.org
