Village Homes RealtyLast lots selling in stage 4 and 5!
As we wind up a busy year of sales tours and presentations, we are delighted to have welcomed 47 new owners to the Ecovillage in 2024! We now have just 10 Family lots for sale in Stage 4 and 5, and only 6 Stage 5 Cottage lots left. Once these are gone, there will be no more chances to buy in on the ground level (from the developer) to build your dream sustainable home in a community garden cluster in the Ecovillage.
All of our discounted Groupie lot offerings are long gone, but if they suited the scope of your budget (as your home or for affordable rental investment property), please stay in touch, as we are working hard to bring some additional affordable, small-scale Ecovillage land offerings in stages 3E & 4E to the market in the future, hopefully with a house and land package option.
And at the other end of the scale, if a large lot is more your style, we will be releasing our Cluster 5D Garden lots next year as well. These have been designed with space and storage in mind, for bigger homes, multi generational families, home businesses, large sheds, caravan and boat storage, and so on.
We have sold more lots in the Ecovillage over the last four years (257) than any other residential development in the Margaret River region. In fact we have sold more than most of them put together! Which is a testament to how much people value and want to live in a truly sustainable and community oriented village!
As our residential offerings become fewer, we will start to focus on the Ecovillage short stay, commercial and Village Square lots next year. With a projected 170 households to be in residence by the end of 2025, and with the whole village of Witchcliffe growing, these commercial opportunities now represent great buying. We have lots that have been specifically sized and located for a childcare centre, medical centre and associated pharmacy, tavern, backpackers, mixed use developments, creative business hub, cafes, bulk food store, and dedicated tourism cottages.
We’re also going to bring our 30Ha farm, which abuts the north-eastern boundary of the Ecovillage to the market in February. It’s a stunning property with a beautiful creek that provides a reliable and excellent water supply, good soils and a beautiful home site. All of this makes it a unique property, especially given it’s proximity to the Witchcliffe town centre and our Village Square, both of which are a short stroll via pedestrian access through the ecovillage.

If you see something you like, please get in touch with Michelle and the team on [email protected]. We are always happy to spend all the time that buyers need to explore and understand this truly sustainable and ground-breaking project and find the Ecovillage property that’s the perfect fit.
Conversely, if you are an Ecovillage owner and for any reason you are thinking about selling your Ecovillage property, we are always keen to assist, so please get in touch for an obligation free appraisal, as no one can sell Ecovillage lots like we can. As a close-knit community, we understand that client privacy is important, and we maintain the highest of standards in this regard. With our whole focus being on Ecovillage sales, and unparalleled access to Ecovillage orientated purchasers, it is no surprise that we have been involved in so many sales this year—including two recent “off-market” sales, both of which we sold in one week to cash buyers, and one that achieved the highest price for an undeveloped lot in the Ecovillage to date, with no advertising! We are also always happy to conjunct with other agents on listings, as we have with the fantastic team at Ray White Stocker Preston on several properties this year. At Village Homes Realty, it’s all about doing our very best to sell your property, and find the perfect fit for new buyers in the Ecovillage.
As we venture into our second year of operation, the Village Homes Realty team is looking forward to continuing this great service.
We also have some exciting news to announce in the new year, with a very experienced and region leading real estate sales representative joining our team in the second half of January. This will mean we have one person full time on sales in the Ecovillage, with admin support, and freeing up Michelle and Mike to focus more on marketing, communications and their personal projects within the Ecovillage. We can’t wait to tell you more about this in the New Year!
