This inspiring ecovillage community is mid-way through the building process. If you are interested in living here, we have a variety of options to purchase land and build your dream sustainable home. There are occasionally homes for sale when life intervenes and members have to leave the village (scroll down to see if there any already-built houses currently for sale). We encourage you to visit the Ecovillage to get a sense of the community if you think you might be interested in joining. We also suggest you read through our informative FAQs.
Land For Sale
The infrastructure for our new section was completed at the end of 2023 and most of the 43 new lots have now been settled (scroll down for land still available!) and the new owners can get on with preparing their DAs and looking forward to building their homes here. Our members choose different approaches including Owner-Builder, engaging a professional builder, a number are exploring Modular Homes and others are joining together to reduce cost and footprint – exciting times!
In coming months we will also be to confirm some additional, smaller, 450sqm lots and a few larger lots, as we come to the end of our available development land. Various of our lots may be suitable for dual occupancy and Strata Title, depending on slope and planning requirements.
If you are interested, now is the time to act – come and visit us and put a green dot to reserve a lot with no deposit whilst you explore joining our Co-op. You’ll need to be on a Membership to settle on the lot and you also become a part-owner of all the various fabulous Co-op assets. These include community facilities, recreational and food growing land and greenhouses, mowers and whipper-snippers, sheds, offices, playgrounds, our amazing dam, and the beautiful bushland with trails leading into Strickland State Forest right from our back door…
Individuals can also combine and share a Co-op Membership, if they have the intention to build together, which offers the opportunity for smaller footprint and affordability. See CL@N lot details below. Please ask us about the CL@N group – Collaborative Living at Narara Ecovillage. We are doing exciting, ground-breaking work in this area.

1/4 Share in Ensemble82 – A unique opportunity for more affordable living
Anticipated built price circa $300k
Our company was formed through the Collaborative Living at Narara (CL@N) initiative. Ensemble82 P/L is a company comprised of 5 likeminded individuals who have purchased land together at the Ecovillage with a view to build a shared home with discrete living areas for each as described below. The purpose is to share membership, land, build costs and levies. Once living onsite, we will also share in the costs of utilities, insurance and rates, and most recently we have been discussing having a shared vehicle when we are all settled at the village. Our aim is not only to achieve comfortable, sustainable, economical housing; but a comfortable, sustainable, economical lifestyle for the long term.
Our architects have helped us to design a house where we can all live in our separate ‘pods’ (approximately 40m2 each) under one roof (designed as one large house). Each pod comprises 1 or 2 bedrooms with an ensuite, living area (with kitchenette) and a private deck. Our house will also include a shared communal area, laundry facilities and storage areas. Lot 82 is elevated with great views and is able to catch the summer breezes.
It has taken over 2 years for us to refine our plans (see below), and we are very proud at what we have achieved! Sadly, one of our shareholders’ circumstances have changed and we wish to offer the opportunity to others who may be interested in joining this innovative project.
To date, we believe this will be the most economical way to live in Narara Ecovillage, without compromising privacy or views. Equally important, we are not just a company, we have become friends, with much love, trust and respect for each other and what NEV stands for. And we look forward to meeting you, if you believe you may fit our group 🙂
