Oasis Eco-Village

Uhland, Texas,

United States

(Hays County)

We are currently working to develop an eco-village in Uhland, Hays County. We

have 45 acres situated on Plum Creek that will include 19 single family homes ranging in size from a 291sf studio to an 1830sf 3 bedroom home.

This will be a meditation community (Ananda Marga Yoga). The community will include a 20+ acre farm that will be used and maintained by the community members for their consumption as well as an onsite medicinal/herbal garden. There will also be onsite orchards, a community center, swimming pond with beach and other ponds, and the possibility of solar and wind energy phased into the development as well. The community will be gated, have municipal water for domestic use, and onsite waste water facilities. The community will be set up as either a community land trust or a co-op housing system. All home plans are available for viewing and reflect the natural honey comb shape.

After a short pause in development, we are now moving forward again with the community.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have or to take a tour of the area and property.
