Creating an enchanting co-living with vintage houses, workshops and organic farm in Georgia

  Descripción

  Greetings from the team!
  
  We bought 12 hectares of land to create a new magic forest kingdom in Georgia – with experimental architecture, vintage houses, treehouses, camper vans and even a train! We already have a one acre organic farm, doing art stuff (you can find hidden objects in the forest). It's a safe place to be at present, a space of consciousness. People would come here to fall back into childhood to get a better understanding of who they are. To be surrounded by like-minded empathic people. To get energy and support from each other. To learn new skills. To participate in the creation of the place. We hope that our territories will be all over the world some day.
  
  The property includes a large community building with a fireplace, a forest, a little river and a larger one running along the land, a huge field, a dog's kingdom, and several lagoons where we can swim during the summer, an outdoor cinema and a farm . The spring of drinking water is running from the ground, birds are singing. It's basically heaven on earth!
  
  The project is funded by crowdinvesting — hundreds of people can buy shares that will allow them to stay in the place for free. We are at the early stage of development — we got land in 2021, built some cabins and circus tents and started to invite people from all over the world to join us. If you share the same values as us and are interested in working together on the project, we are happy to welcome you!
  
  Currently our project is quickly developing and the community is growing every day!

  Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje

  We want as many people from all over the world to be involved in the project and develop it. Learning from one another, sharing experiences and stories, creating new things which will be engraved forever into Chateau's history, making art, connecting with nature, and learning more about ourselves is all possible when we work together. Also, we enjoy connecting with local people, learning from them about their way of life, crafts, farming, and cooking. We are creating a community and would love to welcome like-minded people!

  Ayuda

  Interested people are needed who like the concept of the project and want to develop it together. There are always plenty of things which need to be done as the land is huge.
  We are searching for people who can help us with carpentry, construction, electricity, gardening, art projects, furniture restoration, taking care of animals, creating videos, taking and editing photos and much more. Besides big projects such as building new houses we have day to day tasks which still need to be taken care of such as cleaning, cooking, going to the market, keeping the area clean etc. During harvest season, we collect local fruits, vegetables, and nuts. We really enjoy eating some of it and saving some for winter (pickling vegetables, preparing jams, drying nuts). In addition, we take care of some dogs, cats, and chickens.
  
  Important to mention that we want to be as transparent as we can about the development of the project which means we publish the latest updates on our instagram and our channel on telegram attaching photos and videos. So, you might appear on our social media :)

  Alojamiento

  We have 2 houses in the village (15 mins away from the Chateau) where volunteers live. In both houses there are several rooms for 3-4 people where we accommodate volunteers, common space, shower (inside, with cold and hot water) and toilet (outside). Bedsheets, pillows, blankets, and towels are provided to volunteers, along with normal and bunk beds.
  
  Volunteers can also stay in their own tents on the Chateau's grounds.
  
  In Chateau we have warm showers and toilets which can be used any time.
  
  Volunteers are also provided with three meals per day, seven days a week, mostly vegetarian and vegan food, but sometimes chicken is served.

  Algo más...

  We are located 110 km away from Tbilisi, it takes around 2,5h to reach us. To get to us you need to take a taxi or marshrutka (mini bus) at Isani metro station. You need to ask them to drive to Kveda Pona village in Kakheti. In Kveda Pona you don’t need to get into the village, first turn right to the little forest. You descend there and see our building. Locals know this place as an "old restaurant".
  
  There is Lagodekhi National Reserve near us with rivers, water falls, mountains and endless trails to explore. We do go for hikes together with our guests and volunteers, Lot's of old rural Georgian stuff everywhere, including fortresses and churches. Kakheti region is famous for its wine, there are so many wineries all around. The border with Azerbaijan is close — you can get there easily as well.
  
  Georgians are usually very friendly and ready to invite foreigners to their houses, tell stories and share food. We also have some local friends here!
  
  The climate here is quite nice with winter temperature averages -1 / +8 and summer temperature averages +17 / +31 .

  Puede acoger a nómadas digitales

  As a digital nomad ourselves we really appreciate this kind of lifestyle. We have wifi but it’s not strong enough when a lot of people use it at the same time. It’s possible to use mobile internet here, Geocell or Magti works pretty well. We can watch Netflix without loading time :) Regarding the working space - you can use a common room in the restaurant building we have, tables outside or a terrace located on the second floor of the restaurant. It might be a bit noisy from time to time, especially when we have a lot of guests. (but you can hide in the forest). We are planning to have a proper co-working place soon!

  Espacio para aparcar autocaravanas

  We already had 7 camper van people and it's great to have them! If you have one with you — great, we have a lot of places for you to park and get plugged in.

  Podría aceptar mascotas

  We currently have 5 dogs, 2 cats, and chickens. Our facility is pet-friendly, so you are always welcome to bring your pet with you, but pet-to-pet relationships may take some time to develop. Important to mention that keeping animals in Chateau requires extra resources, so we charge a fee.
