Now Accepting Reservations

Haven Village is a private residential model focused on education and economics while building resiliency through our on-site natural building trade school. We are located in Southeast Tennessee on the Georgia state line at the foothills of the Cherokee National Forest at an elevation of 1000+ feet. 216 acres of beautiful nature nestled between treeline ridges with breathtaking views of the mountains and surrounding landscapes, offers a feeling of privacy and seclusion while connected to the surrounding towns. The agricultural region features a variety of local food producers as well as outdoor activities from hiking, foraging and white water rafting. It is truly a place of peace and tranquility where we can reconnect with nature and ourselves. 

Our Vision & Values

Haven Village seeks to model a way of being and developing on the land that honors and cares for nature (the land) and the well-being of those that reside upon it. We foster a culture of care through practicing, learning and growing together as we re-member a more purposeful pathway, and relationship with nature, reaping directly what we sow and sharing the fruits of our creative labor and expression. We knew on our first visit that this land would be the perfect home for the Haven Earth Trade School where we could create a model of a new way of living focused on getting back to nature by building healthy hemp homes and establishing food resiliency.  We established the Haven Village Trust, secured funds, and began developing the Masterplan to serve as a roadmap for the immediate development strategy when we arrived on the land full-time in September 2023.  We feel guided in these historic times to pioneer just as our ancestors once did, a new (yet ancient) direction and positive future for the generations to come.

Settler Way

Our Settle Way Neighborhood consists of seven 24 foot round yurts that are home to some of our Residential Members with a few available for guests of two or more as well as potential residential members looking to book longer stays. These  iconic round off-grid yurt structures are fully adorned with architect-designed Interiors, full bathroom, and kitchen as well as a hemp wool queen size bed with organic linens. 

Our immediate focus in Year One was to establish essential initial infrastructure to secure energy, food, water, and immediate shelter to include dwellings that we could build and occupy quickly in Zone 1 of the property. The yurts were a perfect solution and have become a much-loved part of Village life. 

Our strategy during the first year was to invite a group of residential members and builders to participate in the hands-on labor force to prepare us for building healthy homes for our residential members in year two. We currently have two of our yurts available for purchase for future residential members who are looking to return to the land and have relevant building, homesteading and/or business/marketing skills. 

Whether you are just visiting or planning to make Haven Village your home, you will surely enjoy sipping your morning coffee overlooking the pond while being invigorated by the morning sun rising over the breathtaking Cherokee Mountains with acres of forest behind you. 

Tiny Hemp Home

Come experience a healthy hemp home firsthand in the first fully off-grid, natural healthy Hemp Tiny Home in the United States! Designed and built by Architect Paul River Richardson as a showcase home for our model here at Haven Village. A year in the making - the Tiny Hemp Home was part of our Hemp Builder Training in Kingsbury, Texas in December 2022 and traveled all the way to Tennessee (not recommended btw!) to serve as a show room at Haven Village.

Our Tiny Hemp Home is only available for bookings Friday- Sunday on an as-available basis for private and special staycations. Imagine yourself in a one-of-a-kind Healthy Hemp Dwelling that boasts a fully fitted kitchen, full-size bathroom and shower, full-height loft sleeping quarters, and much more. From your large private deck, you can enjoy the mountain views while breathing the fresh air of this revolutionary building material that is taking the world by storm. You have to experience it to believe it - but once you do you won’t want to go back to the conventional. Email info@havenearth.biz to inquire about reserving the Tiny Hemp Home.
