A plan for land that sustains itself.

We plan and guide self-sufficient projects – growing, energy, water and access – from the first site survey to the finished build. On site or via live call.

About EcoVista

Self-sufficiency is made of many trades that depend on each other: soil and water, power and heat, roads, storage and workshop.

EcoVista brings them together in one plan and puts them in the right order – from the first site survey to a documented build. Along the way, unexpected possibilities for your project often come to light.

  • Agriculture and home growing
  • Energy supply
  • Infrastructure
  • Land use

What you can expect

  • Plan for every trade

    Growing, water, energy and access work together – instead of each firm planning only its own part.

  • Page per decision

    Goal, options, costs, risks and next step at a glance – so you decide on a clear basis, not on gut feeling alone.

  • Building blocks in the right order

    From the site survey to the project file, every step builds on the one before. So not everything has to start at once.

  • Point of contact, start to finish

    We bring in the right firms, compare offers and follow up – until everything is built and documented.

Services

Eight building blocks, in the order a project needs them.

  1. Two people walk along the edge of a meadow with a site plan and marker stakes.

    Site and land briefing

    Take stock, divide the land roughly, mark conflicting uses.

  2. A one-page decision paper with a table and chart on a wooden table.

    Decision papers

    One page per topic: goal, options, costs, risks, next step.

  3. Raised beds with steel edges, vegetables and drip irrigation along a gravel path with stepping stones, a glasshouse and a modern dark timber shed behind.

    Growing and supply plan

    Seasonal calendar, crops, water, storage and reserves as a project plan.

  4. Modern dark timber barn with a solar roof and a glazed gable revealing a technical room with battery storage, firewood stacked in a niche in the façade.

    Energy concept in stages

    Estimate demand, prioritise power, heat and backup, compare options.

  5. Gravel road with steel edging leading to a modern dark timber workshop with a timber-clad rainwater cistern, an oak fence and a hedge in the morning light.

    Infrastructure roadmap

    Roads, water, wastewater, storage, fences, workshop – in phases with dependencies.

  6. Three quotes side by side on a table with material samples between them.

    Supplier and quote comparison

    Write requirements, collect quotes, compare price, timing and risk.

  7. Three people in a farmhouse kitchen discussing a site plan on the wall.

    Implementation support

    Milestones, owners, a steady status rhythm and follow-up on open points.

  8. Project binder with dividers, a notebook and a laptop with a video call on a desk.

    Documentation

    Minutes, decision log, open points and a project file for the next round.

Every part of the land gets a purpose

It starts with the site and land briefing. We take stock, divide the land roughly and mark where uses get in each other's way. This is what a property looks like with the plan laid over it.

How our meetings work

Whether at the kitchen table on site or via live call: every meeting has a goal and ends with a result you have in writing.

  1. Prepare

    We clarify goal, questions and documents in advance and send an agenda.

  2. Facilitate

    We guide the conversation, bring the right people to the table and record decisions.

  3. Follow up

    You receive minutes, a decision log and open points – the basis for the next round.

Typical projects

An empty meadow or an established farm: we work where ideas need to become a plan.

Existing farm under renovation
Four modern dark timber houses with large glass gables around a shared kitchen garden with a glasshouse, a long oak table on a stone terrace in front.
Community on shared land

The right companies at the right time

A self-sufficient project needs many hands: carpentry, solar installation, well drilling, landscaping. We select suitable companies, make the introduction and put every quote in the context of your project.

  • Write requirements so that quotes become comparable
  • Lay quotes side by side by price, timing and risk
  • Bring together companies whose work builds on each other

Frequently asked questions

Clear limits

EcoVista holds everything together; it does not replace specialists. We do not replace land surveys, permits or agricultural business consulting in the narrow sense. We create the basis on which specialist planning and trades can start cleanly.

Who does EcoVista work for?

For owners and families with land, a farm or a country estate, for communities sharing a property and for businesses that want to reorganise energy and infrastructure.

Do you work on site or online?

Both. Meetings take place on site or via live call. We handle preparation, facilitation and follow-up either way.

Do you replace architects, surveyors or authorities?

No. The site and land briefing is not a substitute for a survey or a permit; it is the basis for the specialist planning that follows. We make sure specialists start with clear requirements.

Does everything have to happen at once?

No. The infrastructure roadmap sets phases with dependencies so that not everything has to start at the same time. The energy concept puts power, heat and backup in a sensible order.

What do I have in hand at the end?

Decision papers with one page per topic, plans and a roadmap, minutes, a decision log and a project file to take into the next round.

Do you also support the build?

Yes. We set milestones, clarify who is responsible, keep a steady status rhythm and follow up on open points.

How do we start?

With a first meeting. Use the form to tell us where your project stands. We will get back to you with a proposed date.

When the plan comes together

Morning mist gives way to golden light: homes with their own gardens, power from your own solar field, water from pond and cistern, beds and an orchard – and room to play. This is what your land can look like when everything works together, from a single farm to a small village.

View from a lookout tower over a small village in the morning, the sun low in a blue sky with a few clouds: dark timber houses with gardens along a gravel lane, a village green with a linden tree, a barn with a solar roof, a large solar field with grazing sheep, a pond with a jetty, glasshouses, vegetable beds, an orchard and a wooden playground, with fields and hills behind.
