Building upon nearly a decade of unprecedented success, The Garden of Eden sustainable community is now selling their homestead to expand the scope of their project.
Despite being the target of an unsubstantiated black ops SWAT raid in 2013 that was covered by international media outlets including the Huffington Post, they have continued to grow and thrive, achieve a negative carbon footprint, and feed 40K free meals a year.
The 3.37 acre property located at the southwestern edge of Arlington, Texas is offered for $600K. The community is entertaining offers in USD or cryptocurrency and intends to invest all proceeds from the sale of the property into a new sustainable eco-village of a greater scale.
The property's most unique and potentially valuable feature is the thriving ecosystem cultivated over the last decade that served as the basis for their humanitarian outreach. Watered by a 120 ft well and enclosed by a 30 foot tall living bamboo border along the street-facing perimeter, the property is lush and secluded, living up to its illustrious name. While it is only minutes from the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex and within walking distance of the Tierra Verde golf course, the property is adjacent to acres of pasture and grazing land, giving it a rural and peaceful feeling.
This large residential acreage has a sustainable food production system developed through permaculture practices. The land includes many mature fruit and nut trees, dozens of native berry bushes, well established gardens of edible and medicinal perennials and herbs, 2 Hugelkultur mounds, 16 raised garden beds, and over an acre of nutrient rich planting soil.
Founder and director of the eco-village Quinn Eaker says,
“I am very reluctant to let go of this place because it’s the best living environment I have ever experienced in my whole life! Not only has it become dear to us through the investment of our blood, sweat, and tears, making this once barren yard into a lush Garden of Eden, but we have also made it quite tangibly valuable. We will be leaving behind a fully self-sustaining food production system that could have fed us for generations. Yet, a wealth of opportunities beckon us to move beyond the horizon of this place and on to grander projects that will ultimately be of greater service and support to more people and to our planet. Still, we hope that the new custodians of the land will appreciate its bounty and continue to cultivate it.”
Special features of the 3,850 square foot main house include 4 bedrooms with double master suites, 3 bathrooms, a 2 car garage, a large fireplace with mantle in the living room, vaulted ceilings, a cast iron wood burning stove in the kitchen, 5 unique hand-laid floors, and many other handcrafted artistic embellishments.
Other structures on the land include a hand-built Cobb cottage currently providing steady revenue as an AirBnB rental, a 25 x 60 ft barn, and 4 recycled pallet structures that are currently used for storage and animal housing.
Plans for their next project Eden 2.0 are currently in the works. This self-reliant new paradigm city space will be built with smart contract governance and have individual and family housing; sustainable power, water, waste treatment, and food production systems; and learning, childcare, dining, and recreational facilities to support a community of hundreds of people.
The Garden of Eden will host a mini-festival and fundraiser exclusively for members of their private club over Memorial Day weekend to thank and farewell their loyal local supporters and to raise additional funds for their next project. The event will include on-site camping, free food, a musical line-up featuring well-known local artists, workshops, and classes on sustainability and holistic living, and an exclusive presale of their numerous vast collections of clothing, housewares, collectibles, and salvaged building materials. An extensive estate sale will be offered to the public on the weekend following the festival, June 1-3, during which the remainder of items will be sold.
Interested buyers and investors may contact Quinn Eaker.
