Dreaming of a home on your own piece of land? Whether it’s a quiet acreage in the Shuswap, a lakeside lot in the Okanagan Valley, or a tucked-away rural property, EcoHaven Homes can help bring sustainable, energy-efficient living to your land in British Columbia.

We make it simple to build on your land in BC—tailoring each EcoHome to your property, lifestyle, and goals.


What Is an EcoHome?

The EcoHome is our signature model: a thoughtfully designed, energy-efficient home built to meet Step 4 of the BC Energy Step Code. Every detail supports a comfortable, sustainable lifestyle—whether you’re adding a second dwelling, building a rental property, or creating your own modern cabin retreat.


If You Own Land in BC, We Can Build

From the Okanagan Valley to the Shuswap and throughout the Southern Interior—if you own land in BC, we can build your custom EcoHome.


We build on-site and tailor each project to your property’s specific needs, including:

  • Sloped or irregular terrain

  • Access points and driveway layout

  • Utility connections and service availability

  • Local climate conditions and environmental factors


Not sure if your lot is suitable? We’ll walk the land with you, review your zoning, and guide you through the next steps to make your build possible.


Why Build an EcoHome on Your Property?

Choosing to build on your own land is a long-term investment. Here’s why the EcoHome is a smart solution for modern, sustainable living in BC:


  • Energy Efficiency = Long-Term Savings: Built to Step 4 standards with superior insulation and airtight design—your home stays comfortable while reducing energy costs.

  • Designed for Your Lot: Each build is site-specific. We orient and adapt the layout to your land, maximizing both function and flow.

  • Flexible Use: Live in it full-time, rent it out, use it as a weekend escape, or offer it to family—the EcoHome is adaptable by design.

  • Built to Last: We use durable, high-performance materials and prioritize locally sourced options whenever possible.


What to Know Before You Build

We’re a full-service builder—no juggling multiple contractors. Here’s what we’ll help you with before the first shovel hits the ground:

  • Zoning + Services Review: We'll confirm if your lot is ready or if any rezoning is required.

  • Permitting + Compliance: From paperwork to inspections, we take care of local requirements.

  • Customization Options: Add solar panels, a sauna, or cold plunge to tailor your home to your lifestyle.

  • Project Timeline: Most EcoHome builds take approximately 4–6 months, depending on site complexity and customization.


Let’s Bring Your Land to Life

If you’ve been holding onto a piece of land—wondering how to make the most of it—an EcoHome could be your answer.


Whether you’re building a sustainable primary residence, adding a backyard suite, or investing in a long-term rental, we’re here to help you create something meaningful—efficiently, sustainably, and beautifully.
