Passivhaus self-build plus garden situated in regnerating rainforest.

Family home built by local builder to passiv haus standards with HRMV system. Ed did labouring work on the build so knows what went into it. Developing garden with greenhouse, sunroom, swale and wetland cell.

Surrounded by mix of old group rainforest, regeneration native woodland, sitka plantations, PAWS sites and farmland. Ed and Carina founder members of Action West Loch (AWL), one of whose projects is to regenerate the rainforest along the shores of the West Loch. This involves us working with local landowners, land managers and rewilding organisations.

Group visits can be arranged - no charge but donations to AWL welcome. We have a spare room and accept association members for live-in practitioner training subject to interview.
