An ecopod or eco-capsule is a small, self-contained living structure built in a sustainable manner. These structures are often designed with a single interior room for useability. An ecopod goes hand in hand with simpler and more environmentally friendly living. It incorporates sustainable elements in its construction such as certified ecological wood, natural wood preservatives, local materials, the use of recycled materials whenever possible, natural ecological insulation, and a structure powered by renewable energy.
Guests at Terra Perma’s ecotourism units are invited to explore the private park that consists of over 200 acres of pristine forest, several walking trails and a pristine, undeveloped lake.
