A calm place to stay, or a home in an estate that already has guests
Holiday guests want somewhere peaceful with comfort they can count on. Buyers and investors want to see an estate in use before they commit. The Eco-Living Oasis at Kent has already hosted long-stay guests, and opens officially on 14 November 2026.
Who it is for
Built by TpESTATE from the soil it stands on, run by Eco-Living Oasis
Kent's walls are pressed from site soil with 8–10% cement and no kiln. Solar power, local wells and a borehole supply the homes, and biodigesters replace septic tanks. Kent is not carbon neutral, and TpGroup publishes the gap: a generator still runs in two short daily windows.
- 85 kW of solar: 5 kW per home and 10 kW for the community, avoiding about 47 tonnes of CO₂e a year against diesel
- More than 500 trees and 500 flowering plants since 2021, and a shared vegetable garden that supplies the restaurant
- A permanent, trained crew hired on day one and kept for five years
- All doors and windows, and about 90% of the furniture, made by Sierra Leonean craftspeople
