| Comprising 16 hectares of residential development, approximately 44 percent has been set aside as community land and common facilities, plus over 12 hectares of Village Farm. We are located on the picturesque Fleurieu Peninsula, minutes from the McLaren Vale wineries, restaurants, cafes, and art galleries. We are within walking distance to beautiful Port Willunga beach and the historic township of Aldinga and minutes from the commercial, shopping, and transport facilities at Noarlunga and Seaford. (There are plans to extend the train line from Noarlunga to Aldinga). We are bordered to the north by Willunga Creek and are less than an hour’s drive to the centre of Adelaide.
The Terraces @ Culture Walk is the new terrace development, completing the third and final stage of the ecovillage. It is comprised of two rows of terraces lining the vibrant Culture Walk promenade, which provides an access between the central facilities of the ecovillage and the township of Aldinga. It is designed by acclaimed architect John Maitland of Energy Architecture, and has choices ranging from a single bedroom studio to three bedroom townhouses.
Features include: two off-street car parks, 1 to 2 bathrooms, open plan living/dining, gas appliances, timber windows and grid-connected solar power,
solar hot water , underground 10,000L rainwater tank, AAA-rated water fittings, PE instead of PVC pipes and sound-proofing.
This is the easiest way to become part of the ecovillage: all designs and development consents are done for you; buying "off the plan" results in stamp duty savings with a fixed price contract.
You are buying much more than a place to live. You become part of a supportive community and share in the ownership of the surrounding land and facilities. This is a unique opportunity to have a real say in how your community manages its resources and money in a safe environment where you can live, work, and get to know your neighbours. By living in the ecovillage, you can enjoy many activities: the gathering of people at seasonal markets, art and craft events, outdoor movies, tree-planting days, live music events, mosaic days, and shared dinners, BBQ’s, and picnics that create a sense of community.
“Care for the earth and care for the people.”
By-laws cover common property, building designs, landscaping, fencing, waste, recycling, pets, water, communications, and administration.
