What we do

Single family detached homes within walking distance of Citrus Glen Elementary School. Walking to the bus on Telephone Road or bicycling on neighborhood streets that feed easily into class 1 bike paths is easy here. If you like to drive, traffic here is very calm and convenient. Recreational walking and olympic-sized pool and playing fields are located within an easily walkable mile or two. Shopping via bicycle or car is easy and convenient at a wide variety of stores within bicycling distance. Families can choose from a variety of middle and high schools in Ventura Unified School District as well as a variety of private schools in the area.
We grow fresh vegetables in back yards here year-round and enjoy fruit from cherimoya, loquat, strawberry guava, pineapple guava, mulberry, fig, apple, and pomegranate trees.
Staycations are definitely viable fun here, as our weather is wonderful year round and it takes about 10 minutes to drive to the beach on highways 126 or 101. Riding bus from here to Santa Barbara Airport is quite feasible and inexpensive if you want to fly.
We appreciate and strive to achieve clean indoor and outdoor air here and we love to help our local native birds. Please email George to schedule an appointment to learn more about homes for sale and how to get involved. Although George is a licensed real estate broker in California, he is not representing any of the homes which are about to go on the market.

Our Mission

This Ecovillage aspires to improve Quality of Life for its residents and the people and wildlife affected by its residents. We agree to be conscientious about our discharge of red-list toxic chemicals into the air and onto the gutters and ground. We agree to strive to help each other and ourselves gradually convert from fossil fuel energy to renewable energy use, respecting individuals’ circumstances and means may make that transition slow. We aspire to help wild birds and plant plants that native pollinators find useful. We commit to take a day of rest at least every seventh day and connect with neighbors, family, and friends.
