Hart’s Mill Ecovillage and Farm is a planned intentional community in North Carolina that “embodies a world in which people live in justice and harmony with each other and the land.” It will utilize a limited-equity ownership model to preserve the long-term affordability of its homes and provide a farmer an affordable shared-equity ground lease on part of the property. Our 2019 loan will enable them to do some predevelopment work before finalizing construction plans and financing.
