Digital Nomad Village

where

Where should the village be?

The honest answer: we don't know yet. Here's the shortlist, with very scientific pros and cons. And if you have the place, we're looking for you.

wanted

Got a beautiful place? We're looking for you.

A village needs land, buildings and people who believe in it. If you have a place that's quietly beautiful and deserves a second life, we'd love to build something new and lovely there, together with you.

  • Mayors & municipalities

    Your village is losing young people, the school is half empty, houses are standing still? Let's bring life back, year-round.

  • Regions & governments

    Looking for ways to revive rural areas and attract remote talent? We'd love to be a pilot project you can point to.

  • Private investors

    Want to back something with real meaning, long-term value and a beautiful view? Let's talk about building it together.

  • Landowners & heirs

    Thinking about selling or passing on land in a special place? We'll treat it with care and give it a new story.

what we bring

  • A growing community of remote workers, makers and families who want to stay, not just visit
  • Year-round life, local spending and new ideas for places that are emptying out
  • Respect for what's already there: old buildings, landscape, neighbours

what we're looking for

  • Land, an old farm, a hamlet or empty buildings somewhere really beautiful
  • Decent connections: a train, an airport or a road within reach, and internet that can be made fast
  • Partners who want to build something long-term, not a quick flip

A rough location and a few lines are enough to start talking.
