 Koro Island is a small island in the South Pacific, and part of the Fiji Island. On 750 acres we have established a community of owners that enjoy stunning nature and to live off-grid, in harmony with nature. All homes are solar powered and the island produces its own bio fuel from coconuts. Water is done by catchment. Community members generally have 1 acre for gardening and home building, financing is available at only 10% down. Unbeatable lifestyle with great diving, fishing on a tropical island. We are looking for people who enjoy the outdoors, artists, musicians, gardeners, builders and anyone else who is in recovery from Western civilization to join us. Contact Joe Soecker for more info on the island and what we do here, and take a look at Facebook and search of our community there, there are 1000's of photos and a lot of videos with interviews.
