A Regenerative Village in Portugal
We're building a place where land is held in common, community is intentional, and belonging isn't left to chance.
Find Your People
This is for people who want something different
Maybe you've done well by conventional measures — career, travel, inner work — and still feel like something's missing. A place to put down roots. People who expect you back. Land you can care for and that cares for you in return.
Maybe you've looked at intentional communities before and found them too rigid, too chaotic, or just not quite your people.
We're not promising utopia. We're building something simpler: a place where you can belong without losing yourself. Where ownership is shared, governance is a clear process, and the land is regenerating instead of depleting.
It's a work in progress. It's real. And there's room for you.
People who thrive here tend to be:
Land Stewards
Nest Builders
Healers
Creatives
Systems Thinkers
Nature Lovers
Families
Remote Workers
Curious Souls
The best way to get to know us is to start with a 2-week volunteering stay — meet the people, explore the land, and see if it feels like home.
$TDF Token
Liquid access & governance, powered by blockchain
Think of $TDF as a perpetual digital access right — simple to buy, easy to hold. It turns guests into co-stewards and gives every holder a say in how the village grows.
Unlock space
1 token = 1 night per year, forever. Access suites, studios, and other accommodations.
Have a voice
Vote on development plans, executive team, and community rules. Governance weighted by tokens + presence + contribution.
Long-term stewardship
Tokens are locked until go-live, when the project is built to sufficient standards, aligning all holders with the village's long-term success and regenerative mission.

Become a Citizen
Hold 30+ $TDF tokens to qualify for citizenship. Unlock governance participation, priority booking, extended stays, and full access to the regenerative village community.
Regenerative Food Production
Our syntropic agroforestry systems integrate 65+ tree species with vegetables and cover crops. We're building a food forest that feeds the community while regenerating the land.
Learn about our agriculture →Ecological Restoration
With 50% of our land as wild habitat, 40+ bird species, and carbon-validated reforestation, we're proving that human communities can enhance rather than diminish ecosystems.

From Vision to Grounded Reality
Since 2021, we've transformed a former poultry factory into a functioning regenerative village. Here's what's been built.
Completing the village
With permits secured and forests planted, we're entering the decisive phase. The path is clear: finish the roof, complete the rooms and restaurant, and open the doors.
- Starlink online
- 14 glampers, 8 volunteer beds
- Raised €400 k in private debt
- Broke ground on the natural swimming pool (now 90 % complete)
- Grew token-holder community to 280 members; enabled bank payments for tokens
- Advanced the mushroom farm to 70% completion — we are now eating mushrooms!
- Build the en-suite co-living rooms, restaurant, and studios
- Hire core operations team for hospitality and land stewardship
Co-housing

We're entering the planning phase for a co-housing development on our land. This is your chance to own a regenerative home in a thriving community — surrounded by people who share your values.
