Mariposa Meadows: Expanding the Vision
Green Builder Media's latest VISION House® project is breaking new ground. When completed, compact, low-impact residences, a corporate campus and research center—all powered by renewable energy systems—will share space with moose, bears and beavers, high in Colorado’s Rocky Mountains. An ambitious vision, to be sure, but one that’s been in the works for some time.

The Mariposa Meadows project is part of an original set of goals I outlined over a decade ago,” says Ron Jones, president and cofounder of Green Builder® Media. It will function as a Sustainability Institute, featuring self-sufficient homes and buildings for ongoing monitoring, a central micro-grid, a meeting center for thought leadership summits and training, testing labs, experimental greenhouses and gardens, workshops, barns and environmental research facilities—all at 10,400 feet.
