About Us | Eco Vida Homes

Eco Vida Homes was founded with a clear mission

To help international clients design and build beautiful, energy-efficient villas in Spain—while ensuring clarity, reliability, and peace of mind at every step.

Our founder, John Wolfendale, established Eco Vida Homes to solve the three biggest challenges faced by people building a home abroad:

Who will design a home tailored to my lifestyle and vision?
Who can deliver it on budget, with full transparency and control?
Who is trustworthy and reliable on costs, timing, and scope?

A Design & Build Service You Can Rely On

We manage the entire Design & Build process in-house, giving you one point of contact and complete accountability. Each project is personally overseen by John Wolfendale, and delivered by trusted local teams across Spain—trained to uphold our rigorous standards of service, quality, and communication.

We offer two routes to building your dream villa:

Pre-designed modular villas – ideal for budgets between €250,000 and €400,000
Custom design and build – for those with a higher budget seeking a bespoke home tailored to their lifestyle

Brand Promise
