Life at BraemarWe are an intentional village of like-minded people who share a vision: we want to live a sustainable lifestyle, with other people who share like values, to maintain the green space we have around us, to grow our own food, to share some resources and to engage actively with the wider Nelson community. Residents generally participate in monthly meetings and working bees. We hold these over shared meals and they are a good opportunity to get together.
All lot owners are partners in the Braemar Eco Village Ltd and decisions are made by a simple voting process. We have an evolving land plan that includes orchards, gardens, re-vegetation, grazing, crops, recreational space and walking tracks, with space and options for other activities. The existing non-residential buildings at Braemar are mainly older style weatherboard buildings that have been renovated to varying degrees.
The Williams Block - venue for yoga classes, office spaces of various sizes and toilet and kitchen facilities.

This is not a community that is bound by hard and fast rules, rather a group of families, couples and individuals who have chosen to live in a sustainable village environment. |
