Dedicated individual villages for specific demographics
We are currently in the process of sourcing suitable land plots in four countries in Southern Europe with an emphasis on climate, safety and cost of living.
We source very scenic land plots which are always outside tourist areas to ensure we can keep our community villas affordable.
With 99 carefully selected quality like minded neighbours to socialise and mix with, our members will only leave their community village when they want too, not because they need too.
We don’t build in existing tourist spots, due to extremely high land costs, but we do source very beautiful scenic land plots close by, so that our community members can enjoy a lifestyle together surrounded by nature, but at the same time within a reasonable distance of amenities, airports and cities.
Fit and healthy retirees, or digital nomads.
“ You don’t need to be a wealthy millionaire to live like one.” (100k per villa)
$2,500 USD / 2,200 Euro / 2,000 stg per month is more than enough for a couple to live an amazing lifestyle in any of our locations.
(Very achievable even with a modest pension and renting out your current home)
We also screen all members to ensure that we keep the quality of life in our communities very harmonised for the benefit of everyone.
We notice that we attract a lot of retired teachers, nurses, police and fire officers, just as as an example, but of course we have many who worked in private industry also, and some who still do online.
Apply to join our journey as a member with zero financial obligation or commitment.
Only 100 members per village and those who show interest first will have priority for a villa in any new village created.
As you can see from the images above, the ceiling height is high enough to be able to insert a mezzanine/loft over the living space comfortably, which could be used for a guest to sleep, an office or for extra storage.
The additional cost for this is expected to be approximately 5k.
No payments made in advance for land or construction costs at any stage.
Again “The quality of your life depends on who you’re social circle is and your surroundings”
There is obviously the potential to make a significant financial gain by selling your property when the village is completed, but we prefer members who are more interested in being part of the community on a long term basis.
Market research to see how much interest there is in our unique offering.
That’s why there is zero commitment to apply to join as a member. You are only showing interest.
We believe that our very careful and thorough research has created the opportunity to live in a very well designed villa within one of our communities, that offers unbelievable value for money.
Time will tell if we are right, but it’s looking very good so far!

(No upfront payments)
Our payment structure is designed so that members don’t make any payments in advance.
This means that members only pay for their land plot on the day the title is signed, with the planning permission and building permits already in place.
Stage payments are paid to the construction company, but never in advance. So for example the first stage payment is made when a home is finished to floor level, and again, not in advance.
Our full contacts will be made available to approved member applicants.
We have two full-time engineers from Ireland on site at all times during the construction phase to ensure the quality of construction from start to end, as well as signing off on completed work for payments.
All completed works are backed up by video and image presentation on a daily basis, so that our members can see what’s happening live on the ground online. If they happen to be in the locality, they are also welcome to visit the site frequently in person, but only by appointment, for health and safety reasons.
Barry Murphy from Ireland has led a very unusual and full life so far.
His story starts from leaving school and home at 14 years of age to becoming a self made millionaire in his 30s, and now to where he is in life today at 60 years of age.
The humour, accomplishments, and sadness of his roller coaster journey, which took him to every continent on the planet are all inspiring, and fantastic in equal measure, despite many setbacks.
Class, quality, practical and keeping life as simple as possible are his philosophies.
Driving costs down through creativity, efficiency and research to provide members with real tangible value without compromising on quality is his main goal.
“ You don’t need to be a wealthy millionaire to live like one.” (100k per villa)
The ongoing community fees are expected to be in the region of 70 Euro per month per villa, which includes the upkeep and maintenance of all common areas.
It also includes village security plus an admin office manned office hours Monday to Friday.
Birchley developments will operate a separate maintenance management company for each village for a minimum of two years.
But…
The resident members are free to set up their own management company or nominate another management company to take over at any stage by voting to do so, with a minimum of a 60% majority in favour.
This is very important so that the community members always have full control of their village at all times. While we never envisage Birchley falling short on the quality and execution of a management contract, blanket open ended management contracts can lead to complacency, which we never want our members tied into. The reality from our point of view is that we would prefer the members to take over the management or appoint another management company when they are ready to do so, but we will provide the service for as long as required, and for sure for a minimum of the first two years, unless the members wish to change before that timeline.
