Examples of Green Real Estate Development
We hope you enjoy reading about these real-life examples of how Ecologically Conscious Real Estate principles made a big difference. It is always an honor to be involved in a real estate transaction that resulted in tangible benefits for both the earth and the people involved.
Yellow Mountain Preserve :: A Low-Density Development
Many developments in the mountain areas of western North Carolina are the result of the developer cutting out as many lots as possible for maximum profit. Developments like this threaten the very beauty and environmental health of the area that originally attracted homeowners to such a development.
Sundance Mountain :: Minimizing the Impact of Development
Smaller developments can carry positive impacts for both home owners and the Earth. The key to green real estate development is having a vision that goes beyond monetary returns focused on the short-term, and instead looks toward financial and spiritual gains in the future.
Altamont Acres :: A Great Investment in Real Estate
Buying property from a not-for-profit organization to purchase land can be a rewarding and cost-effective experience, especially if you work with a qualified EcoBroker to help negotiate the transaction, and guide you through the entire process.
Rittle Knob :: Preserving the Land for Future Generations
Sometimes the highest and best use for a piece of land doesn't involve any development as such, or conservation easements or covenants. But some owners may feel that listing a property with special challenges on a traditional real estate market may be the only way to gain decent profit. This is not always the case, and this example will show you how negotiating with a not-for-profit organization can bring a "fair market value" sale with additional values beyond the simple financial gain.
