Founders Program

Walden Monterey Founders Program

Walden Monterey is a natural habitat that has remained practically untouched by man over the past few hundred years. Our goal is to make the most minimal impact on the land and protect nature for future generations while still creating amazing homesites for Walden Community members.

As we move toward the next step of development and offer lot ownership, we are extending the following enhancements to a select few early adaptors to promote the goals of the community. Each Founder owner shall receive:

  • Priority site selection. Walden is comprised of 22 very unique homesites, and Founders will have the first opportunity to choose a lot of their dreams.
  • Roving Cabin on your Founder lot. These compact, mobile, contemporary-designed, off-the-grid cabins will allow Founders the opportunity to experience the land immediately. Founders can also use the cabin as a private guest suite when your permanent home is complete.
  • Family-sized ancillary homes installed within months of purchase. Working with some of the hottest contemporary designers, Walden Monterey has made available small temporary homes to be used on your homesite during the design and construction of your custom home.
  • Founders’ Tesla Fleet- This eco-friendly fleet is specially equipped to power our off-the-grid cabins with solar power.
  • Home Design and Permitting Package. To accelerate and ease the process of getting homeowners into their dream homes, Founder benefits include the following:
    • Plans for a custom home by the architect of your choice.
    • Full construction drawings and permitting services.
    • All Home Energy System design and permitting.
    • Construction management from start to finish.
    • Driveways and site work to prepare your home site for construction.

Founders will also be part of the Walden Advisory Board to finalize the design and implementation of amenities such as:

  • Walden Community Garden and Vineyard
  • Walden Open Space Arts Program
  • Trail Amenities
  • Walden Gathering Series speakers and focus
  • Walden Treehouse design

As a Founder, you will be a creator of a community dedicated to preserving nature, inspiring creativity, and making the world a better place for future generations. I hope that you will come explore with me.

Priority Site Selection

600 Acres on the Monterey Peninsula. 22 Homesites. A Landscape that seems to dissolve the boundaries between lot and open space. Here nature will be the inspiration for all that we do.

Founder Cabin

The Cabins at Walden Monterey were created to serve as temporary structures which enable residents, designers, and guests to experience the land and homesites. The Walden Monterey Team felt passionately about implementing a design philosophy that would embrace the surroundings and natural landscape; understanding that the way to connect with Nature is to spend time with it.

Founder Home Design Credits

A home is a very personal expression. With that in mind, and with an understanding of the power of architecture and design to shape a community, we offer architects and home owners something rare — more freedom than they’ve likely had on many projects. You won’t find an architectural review board poring over plans to dot “i’s” and cross “t’s.” What you will find is an experienced and savvy group who are eager to understand how you plan to interpret what Walden means.

  • Home Design and Permitting Package. To accelerate and ease the process of getting homeowners into their dream homes, Founder benefits includes the following:
    • Plans for a custom home by the architect of your choice.
    • Full construction drawings and permitting services.
    • All Home Energy System design and permitting.
    • Construction management from start to finish.
    • Driveways and site work to prepare your homesite for construction.
