Climate Safe Villages Announcement - Challenger Ridge

Climate Safe Villages Washington at Challenger Ridge is an initiative to create a climate-resilient, off-grid-capable community nestled in the foothills of the North Cascades. Located just outside the town of Concrete, Washington, this project transforms a former vineyard and winery into a model for sustainable rural living. Drawing on the principles of permaculture, climate adaptation, and cooperative governance, CSV Washington is designed as a long-term refuge and thriving habitat for people, plants, and animals in a time of accelerating environmental uncertainty.

This development includes 10 clustered residential lots and a large agricultural open space, with infrastructure prepared for both on-grid convenience and grid-down resilience. With abundant water sources, fire defensible terrain, and food-growing potential, CSV Washington offers a rare combination of natural security and intentional community-building. As part of the broader Climate Safe Villages movement, this location serves as a living laboratory for regenerative systems, self-sufficiency, and collaborative decision-making.
