The land is owned by the NPO, granting residents the right to utilize designated portions for building homes or businesses. Additionally, you will have free access to the remaining 6.5 hectares of land and all other communal facilities(community center, workshops, community garden, etc.) By becoming a resident, you’ll be involved in all decision-making processes.
In order to get to know you better and facilitate the initial steps, please find the detailed information in the document below.

- The loan is re-fundable within a at least 12 month notice;
- There will be an at least 3 month probation period of active participation as a prospective resident to make sure that the match is a good one for everyone.
Friendly Loaner
Since the project is in its first phase, we invite our friends, family members, and supporters to become friendly lenders of Ecovillage Georgia. Lending us money will help to sustain and develop the project. Our aim is to fully cover the land cost through residential shares once around 30 residents have joined the ecovillage. We will repay the loans when residents or new friendly loaners join the project, and our total dept does not exceed the value of our property. Thus loans are secured by the value of the property, a legally valid contract, and will be repaid according to mutually agreed timelines and conditions, without interest. Becoming a friendly lender also gives you the possibility to join the project later on as a resident, when you have more time and capacity to be involved and continue contributing to the community and its projects. Repayment is planned as the project grows and new residents or loaners join, and exact timelines are agreed individually in the loan agreement.
