Patagonia EcoLiving Community

THE HOLISTIC VISION of our INTENTIONAL & REGENERATIVE community AIMS TO awaken to the beauty, inspiration and abundance of the Earth through nature-based living and experiences.

THE LAND

The land will be mindfully designed so homes and infrastructure overlook views to the river and the hills. The community design will be built into an environment that protects and conserves open space, native forest and farmland. There will also be an emphasis on the renewable off grid energy resources - hydro, solar and wind. Our intention is to see and hold the land as a living organism and be the highest example of caregivers.

THE HOMES

The beauty and architectural aesthetics of the farm homes will all be kept using indigenous building materials that reflect the local culture. In order to preserve the natural and cultural landscape of this region, homes and work places will maintain a traditional Chilean aesthetic in conjunction with utilizing the best contemporary sustainable technologies.

THE FARM

The centerpiece for the community is an established organic farm, which is home to hundreds of lovingly tended animals, native woods, 2.2 miles of gorgeous river frontage and acres and acres of beech forest and diverse grassland. Fundo Panguilemu EcoFarm has a wool and egg business, rural ecotourism business, organic produce, CSA, and wholesale to restaurants and food distribution.

The Encantada Lodge

The Encantada Lodge will serve the Community residents and guests in an unparalleled setting for gatherings of resident dinners, intimate lectures, speakers, leadership groups, non-profits, and educational groups. These visiting groups will share their expertise in the areas of ecology, conservation, regenerative farm practices, holistic healing, yoga/meditation, spirituality, nature photography and more. The Lodge will also have guest rooms and a gourmet kitchen serving farm to table food.

THE WELLNESS CENTER

The onsite Wellness Center will be a healing retreat and sanctuary that supports resident and community healers. It will be home to a community clinic that embraces a variety of holistic therapies, an herbal medicine pharmacy and wellness studies. This unique opportunity will bring a restorative and rejuvenative environment not only for the EcoLiving residents and visitors, but for the larger Coyhaique community wishing to gain holistic treatment.

TOGETHER WE CAN protect the environment, produce wholesome organic food, improve wildlife habitat, restore land and strengthen communities.

“Finding out about the eco community in Patagonia feels like an answer to my prayers. Being surrounded by pristine beauty, clean water and air, and having the opportunity to grow nourishing food in a sustainable way aligns deeply within me. I want my children to be a part of something beautiful, something whole, away from the bombardment of media and the toxic stresses of mainstream life. This is my prayer. And I am so grateful now to know about a place where I can clearly see myself and my family. ”
