Green Development on Mountain View Road

Esperanza Hills Project

Passive Solar - Housing Clusters

Eco Communities within Walking Distance of Downtown Silver City

Coming soon from Esperanza Hills LLC: a green housing community on Mountain View Road in Silver City, New Mexico. We are planning passive solar homes in community clusters. This development is in the early stages, and we do not yet have lots or homes for sale. We would like to talk to contractors, landscapers, builders, and planners who have an interest in community development and green building. We'd also like input from individuals or business owners who are interested in being part of the community.

These are some of our top priorities in planning the Esperanza Hills project:

• Southern orientation, passive solar design, and earth or shade cooling to minimize utility costs.
• Alternative building materials and designs to create well-insulated, efficient homes.
• Clusters of homes to promote community.
• Small homes sized appropriate to family size.
• Shared facilities in each cluster rather than duplicated services in each home.
• Open space surrounding clusters to create a spacious, natural atmosphere.
• Water harvesting and other permaculture techniques to make the development a green oasis.
• Mixed use and cottage industry to enable some residents to work on the site.

Watch this space for more information as our project evolves.

A local group has already started organizing a Cohousing Cluster for the Esperanza Hills site.
