Crockettsburg
By The Lake
Crockettsburg is envisioned as a sustainable, eco-friendly community set on a 40,000-acre parcel of land, with a 640-acre lake at its heart. The lake would create a microclimate that regulates temperatures, supports biodiversity, and offers recreational opportunities like boating, fishing, and hiking.
The community would emphasize outdoor living, sustainable agriculture (including hemp production for textiles, fabrics and building materials) and manufacturing, and green infrastructure.
A key component is the inclusion of alternative homes, such as dome homes, binishells, and ICF Built homes based on earthship and passive home practices on a sustainable microgrid, which align with the community's eco-conscious values. These homes would prioritize energy efficiency, renewable energy sources, and environmentally friendly materials, attracting residents looking for sustainable living options.
Crockettsburg would also draw visitors through ecotourism, waterfront real estate, and events focused on nature and wellness, fostering a harmonious relationship between people, nature, and local economies.
