Architecture & Infrastructure

Currently, we intend to purchase the Heartwood Retreat property in Mentone, Alabama. Long-term, we intend to expand the existing structures, and build enough new structures to provide workshop, gathering, office, and all the other community-related spaces members require.

We also intend to build a central common area, and perhaps a few other clusters of buildings, that serve us all, with a wide diversity of styles of living spaces according to the tastes and resources of the people building the homes, and other dwellings in more private areas.

Walkways will tie all areas together. Over time, the community will have it's own buried power, water, broadband, and related elements grid tied into the sources central points.

We will seek to provide broadband internet, locally-generated electricity, high-quality water, sewage disposal and heating of some kind to all the homes and common buildings, mostly through building-scale, rather than community-scale, infrastructure, for dwellings not in the more common areas.
