A CONTINUING CARE COMMUNITY
Falling Waters will be an innovative and sustainable intentional community that is guided by eco-friendly building practices and healthy living. Residents can find purpose and connection by engaging productively with the land and each other.
We visualize an eco-integrative community of people that recognize the need to live smaller, greener and more sustainably, and who are looking for the opportunity to live and age in place in an environment of natural beauty surrounded by supportive friends, neighbors and community staff. We will employ permaculture principles with edible landscaping, rooftop gardens and a community greenhouse with a full kitchen gathering haus for all residents and their guests.
All this will be situated amid non-toxic, artistic and stunning designs by Ann Raab of GreenPod Development. All interior elements incorporate “Art We Live In” created by our talented local artisans.

Age In Place
Residents of Falling Waters will be able to age gracefully without losing independence. Our dwellings are built by GreenPod Design with the age-in-place philosophy, meaning each home is intentionally built for accessibility at all stages of life.
Healthy Homes
The Falling Waters dwellings will be created with completely Non-Toxic and sustainably sourced materials, ensuring the safety and peace of mind of all residents. These dwellings will also be energy-efficient, low-maintenance, and designed with wellness in mind.


Intentional Community
The most important part of any neighborhood is the community that supports it, and Falling Waters is designed with connection at its center. At the Gatheringhaus residents will come together for intergenerational activity programming, optional gourmet meals, meeting rooms with Skype stations, and an interactive rooftop greenhouse.
At the heart of my vision is a legacy of freedom, wellness, and regenerative, sustainable design.

Falling Waters focuses on housing opportunities for singles and seniors, offering not only a community but also the chance to hold real equity in a net-positive development.
The campus is envisioned as a symphony of falling water—a harmony of nature, beauty, and sustainability, brought to life through the talents of our local artisans. This is my opus for our golden years.
