“Every man, every woman, carries in heart and mind the image of the ideal place, the right place, the one true home, known or unknown, actual or visionary.” Edward Abbey
The commitment
A portion of every commission Ideal Location Co earns is directed to a nature-based cause in the host country of the home that generated it. A share sold near Zion supports canyon country conservation. A home in Baja supports the Sea of Cortez. A chalet in the Alps supports alpine ecosystems. The place that gives you your ideal location receives something back, every time.
Why host country?
Because nature is local before it is global. The watershed your home sits in, the trails you will walk, the wildlife you will wake to, these are cared for by organizations rooted in that exact landscape. Our sister platform IdealLocation.org maps thousands of these conservation organizations across the planet, which is how we identify credible, on-the-ground recipients wherever a home sells.
Economy and ecology, together
We reject the idea that ownership and stewardship compete. A home that is loved year round by eight families, in a town that benefits from their presence, in a landscape funded partly by their purchase, is a better outcome than an empty trophy house. This is ownership that honors the people who knew these places first and the generations who will know them next.
