What we do

First-of-its-kind, The Rogue River Eco-Village Destination Resort (RREVDR) is an iconic eco-village destination resort in development in southern Oregon to create an up-scale off-the-grid, sustainable green “smart grid” community of 450 green homes and green eco-businesses using the best green architectural designs and system technologies available. An elite team of top system engineers, green architects, permaculture designers, landscape architects, solar & hydroelectric developers, renewable energy consultants and advisors, hydrologists, geologists, water resource engineers and green business developers are assembled into one of the most innovative green think-tank engineering coalitions ever created. A unique green Home Owners Association and 23 Anchor Businesses are integrated into the first of its kind eco village destination resort in USA.The RREVDE is located on 2,110 acres in some of the most spectacular rural, undeveloped land in southern Oregon, Jackson County between Central Point and Gold Hill on a beautiful scenic bend of the Rogue River. Herds of wild elk roam this undisturbed rural land. This land is only 5 minutes from Interstate 5 and 20 minutes from Medford and yet is it in rural undeveloped land that has a diverse range of topography– meadows,. timber, wetlands, creeks and river.
The RREVDR Water Distribution Design is one of the most spectacular water harvesting and delivery engineering designs created. The primary water delivery originates with an all natural rock channel coming off the historic wild and scenic Rogue River with a beautiful intricate distribution of rock bank water canals integrating with seasonal creeks, collection ponds, wells, natural reservoir lake, storm run-off catchment areas, storage channels & storage tanks and rain cisterns that are all integrated into a “smart water delivery grid system” with overflows designed for instream return back to the Rogue River. All the RREVDR systems are integrated into the innovative water distribution system design. The Hydro-Electric and Solar Power systems, Water Treatment Filtration system and Potable Water Delivery system, Grey Water Recycling system, Living Biological system, Organic agriculture system, Agro-forestry, Gardens, Orchards, Vineyard, Green-houses, Aquaponics and Eco-Ranch are all integrated into a “smart water delivery grid system.”

The HOA also works to maintain the architectural quality in designs, engineering, construction and maintenance of all developments through its architecture committees. RREVDR Home Owners Association & Business Owners Association are part of a new green community management organization where all residents and 23 Green Business Anchors can vote equally and manage a diverse range of committees. The HOA works closely with the Coalition of 23 Green Anchor Businesses to administrate and manage many maintenance programs, projects, committees, and eco-village amenities that homeowners and residents can enjoy in this unique destination resort.
