Life

A place outside the ordinary.

Dynamic, natural, rich with history, and full of promise. 

OUR CULTURE

Life on Terraine time.

Unfolding under the wide-open canopy of sky, Terraine has its own distinctive village-meets-camp style. That means fun comes in every flavor—from enjoying the solitude on a starlit night to a calendar full of stellar activities and events.

You’ll find all kinds of people here, including those who prize nature and find themselves opting for experiences over things. Exploration leads to a richer, more fulfilling life. And there’s plenty of all of that here.

about the community

Rambunctious gatherings

There’s a lot of talk about bonding with nature, but bonding with neighbors is easy here too, where friendships grow as well on mountain bluebell hikes as they do at the evening concert.

Edifying discoveries

Calibrate your compass, commune with nature, and explore all the ways to satisfy intellectual curiosity here. In a setting like this, there’s a lot of learning going on and it’s not limited to the classroom: nature can be a great teacher.

Indelible sensations

From the sage-scented air and the morning’s first sip of dark roast to the heft of a rough-hewn wooden door on your way in, life here is an experience for all the senses.

Free-range adventure

With an environment of safe streets, paths, and trails for meandering and biking, kids get a unique kind of freedom that parents might recognize from their own childhood.

community groups and clubs

Abiding stewardship

Purposeful engagement, education, and restoration efforts build community around what it means to be a steward of the environment. Less consuming, more growth.

Kindred connections

It’s not for us to say the kinds of connections that’ll be forged—that’s up to you—but common interests flourish as well as uncommon interests where there’s room enough and time.

Kids

Come out, come out, wherever you are.

What are roam-grown kids?

Today, they’re the exception, but here, they’re plentiful. Fresh air can do wonders. With miles of intentional trails and paths, a kindergartener can make her way to school, or to the Lantern Library, and then to The Shed for hot cocoa. Because Terraine is a different kind of place, this is a different kind of kid.

What’s free-range adventure?

Who remembers poking around a pond, crunching leaves, or tapping maple trees (instead of iPad screens)? And who hasn’t felt the inescapable lure of technology? It’s not just kids—it’s all of us. But where are kids to play these days? We’ve got the answer: in their own great, big, natural neighborhood, with safe streets, paths, and trails. And parents are welcome!

“Creating an inquisitive and collaborative culture is the heart of what we do as educators. This is true, not only for students, but for their families and the larger community. Academic success, emotional well-being, and life skills translate to motivated, invested students and teachers. Being in a thriving, supportive community that celebrates learning can make all the difference in a child’s intellectual, social, and civic development.”

EDUCATION

Edifying discoveries.
Natural curiosity.

garden_with_children

There’s community education in our hands-on habitat.

Sure, Terraine kids will go to school here—and we’ve got a whole section about that to the right (our left). The bonus here is that the learning, discovery, and growth will extend far, far beyond those walls. Our community is a real-life ecosystem, an environmental encyclopedia, and a living library. Here, kids get to be kids, but they can also be citizen scientists who might just become grown-up scientists.

Terraine’s school is taking shape just a stone’s throw away via the ribbonwalk trails. While it’s busy coming to life, Terraine kids will attend nearby Antelope Canyon Elementary, where principal Angie Hamilton is partnering with Terraine to develop a rich curriculum with a special focus on habitat and conservation—key subjects for both our community and the next generation.

Nature

People + the place.

Awe-inspiring, beautiful, and essential. Nature is all of this. And the interesting thing is that we’re all part of it, too. Terraine life includes an open invitation to engage in and learn about our changing landscape and our place within it.

Terraine’s stewardship programs will provide ongoing experiences, education, and volunteer opportunities—everything from citizen science and astronomy events, to planting blitzes and sageland restoration efforts. And there is the promise to the future too: that we’ll nurture this splendor, for safekeeping until this next generation can take up the stewardship role when it’s their turn.

The Ribbonwalk trails and open spaces

Ramble on: Hit the Ribbonwalk

Sometimes it’s about the journey and sometimes it’s the destination. Happily, at Terraine, it’s both. A specially designed ribbonwalk runs through the community. It’s a friendly get-anywhere path where you can you stroll with a neighbor, stop and sketch under a leafy maple, or meander through meadows of wildflowers.

Long story short: It’s a library!

What better place to start this new chapter? The glass greenhouse structure is the first lantern in a series of these community landmarks to be built throughout the community. This neighborhood spot sets the tone for Terraine: everyone who lives here gets to contribute a favorite book. The function of future lanterns will also be determined by residents.

Lantern meeting spaces

Outlook good: Higher ground

Because Terraine has such interesting—well—terrain, it makes sense to make the most of it. Thanks to the lofty topography around here, the vistas you get along the ribbonwalk are unlike those you’re likely to see elsewhere in the basin. One third of Terraine is preserved open space, and our own special trail showcases the view. You can even elevate your mind, with a stop at the lantern library.

Native nursery

Plant power: Our native nursery

Because the natural habitat flows through the neighborhoods and gathering spaces, there’s a seamless connection between in here and out there. Preserving this balance is so important that there’s even a designated nursery for native and drought-tolerant plants. Isn’t it nice to know there might be a baby Gambel Oak getting ready to make its debut, just right nearby?
