Welcome to Columbia Ecovillage

We are a multigenerational community of 50 adults of all ages and 13 children age 7 and under. Our units are condominiums, newly renovated for energy efficiency, from existing apartment buildings. The park like property also includes a 1912 farmhouse, a craftsroom, laundry room, orchards, and gardens.

Imagine strolling through an orchard ripe with apples, cherries, pears and figs, wandering through rows of grape vines, maybe stopping at the chicken coop to pick up a couple of fresh eggs along the way. Catchment tanks store precious rainwater. Century-old walnut trees shade the path to the common community house, where you join some of your neighbors for a home-cooked dinner.  Your private, personally owned residence amidst this idyllic setting has been renovated for energy efficiency, healthy indoor air and environmental responsibility. You can catch a bus to downtown or bike.

TOURS

We offer regular tours the first Saturday (not Sunday as before)  of each month at 10pm. This is so our visitors can view our regular Saturday morning work parties. The next tour is Saturday, March 6. Please RSVP to CEVinfo@gmail.com so we can expect you.  Park in a visitor parking spot on the east side of the lot and meet in front of the laundry room in the NW part of the parking lot.
