Permaculture Subdivision Site Plan

Budget: $250 - $750

I am working with a development group that has 9 untouched acres in North Carolina that I’m ready to shape into a small-scale residential subdivision grounded in permaculture thinking. The land is completely raw—no roads, utilities, or structures—so every contour, swale, driveway and homesite will be drawn from scratch.

I need just a rough schematic design, end-to-end site layout that balances standard subdivision requirements with regenerative design. That means a rough lot configuration, internal road network, and utility easements. The end product will provide thoughtful water harvesting, soil stewardship and integrated green space. I want to see how rainwater can be slowed and sunk on-site, where common orchards or edible landscaping might thrive, and how building placement can maximise natural light and airflow. House orientation will be thoughtful.

Your deliverable should include: • Supporting notes or sketches that explain slope analysis, water-flow logic and recommended plant guilds for shared areas.

Local familiarity with North Carolina zoning or storm-water regulations is a bonus, but solid permaculture land-planning experience is essential. If this sounds like your kind of project, let’s talk details and timelines so we can start carving out a resilient, people-friendly neighbourhood from this blank canvas.
