What makes your home a Green or Healthy Home?
Home is constructed of energy efficient adobe, which helps keep it cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Passive solar orientation, dual cooling systems, solar water heater, metal roofs on many of the homes funnel rainwater into cisterns for irrigation, desert friendly permaculture landscaping chosen to attract wildlife and minimize water waste. Unique community wetlands purify wastewater naturally for re-use in community irrigation.
Living in a cohousing community is an environmentally friendly lifestyle! Cohousing communities combine the autonomy of private dwellings with the advantages of shared resources, and provide opportunities for more sustainable living where people know and interact with each other.Property Description
