Back to the Family After decades of study and observation we have produced a visionary return to an ancient tradition: a large, forested realm for families or multi-generational groups that function as families. There’s nothing like a farm family lifestyle and nothing better to guide it than a big, farm family dwelling like Moondance. She is robust and powerful, having an innate beauty and functional grace. She has an effective continuum, allowing dwellers to witness macro-force activities with ergonomic sensibilities that make sense.

Let us be happy for the charming gardeners that make our souls blossom. - Marcel Proust Envisioning Moondance Moondance is a new rural deep green project. Pre-sold, completely viable and negotiated customized dwelling on ten beautiful acres using the Endurance Dwelling parameters. Our designs are the order and arrangement of components and details in accordance with a fully thought-out plan that has gone through a feasibility study with the Mason County Department of Community Development. The buyer’s style is individuality reflected in a person’s actions and tastes; a distinct, elegant mode of life. To determine budget and final costs, the buyers or their representative will meet with our architect and a commercial builder (to be chosen by buyer or Moonshadow Ventures) for evaluation.
