Frequently Asked Questions

  • The current planned location for Emberbrook is North Carolina. This is the region we are actively researching and shaping the concept around. As the project moves through planning, feasibility, and site selection, the exact location may evolve to ensure the village is built where it can thrive long term.

  • Since Emberbrook is designed to be a walkable village, there will be no cars in the heart of the village to keep it peaceful and community-focused. There will be space for cars on the outskirts of the village for those who need them (emergency, delivery, and for people to get to their homes), but we envision the community being centered around foot traffic, much like a cozy European village.

  • There’s no official timeline just yet. Right now, we’re focused on growing the community, refining the vision, and preparing for next steps like feasibility studies, land acquisition, and architectural planning. You can follow along for updates via our Discord server or social channels.

  • Yes. Emberbrook is being designed as a place to live, not just visit. The vision includes a variety of residential options.

  • If you’re interested in discussing future investment opportunities, you’re welcome to inquire below or reach out directly at hello@emberbrookvillage.com.

  • Exact numbers are still evolving, but Emberbrook is being designed as a small-to-medium-scale village/neighborhood. Walkable, intimate, and immersive, not sprawling. The goal is quality over quantity, with meaningful spaces for living, gathering, and creating.

  • Not quite yet! Until then, we invite you to join the early community on Discord to stay in the loop.

  • The best way to support Emberbrook right now is by sharing the vision, helping grow our community, and joining us on Discord. We’ll be using that space to connect with future partners, creatives, and dreamers as the project evolves. When the time comes, it will also be the first place we announce opportunities to collaborate or contribute in meaningful ways.

  • We’re so glad you’re interested! The core village spaces—cafés, studios, and shoppes—are being curated to fit Emberbrook’s story, design, and lifestyle. Some will be Emberbrook-owned flagships, while others may be operated by trusted partners under our brand and design guidelines. In addition, we’re planning a permanent artisan marketplace designed specifically for small businesses, artisans, and creatives. This space will allow you to bring your magic into the village while keeping the heart of the story intact.

  • Our long-term vision is to bring the spirit of Emberbrook to other places around the world, each one rooted in slow living and community.

  • Final pricing will be determined through feasibility studies, partnerships, and the development process. What we can share is the intent: Emberbrook is being created as a luxury community, guided by design, craftsmanship, and intentional living.

    The plan is to offer a range of housing types—including apartments, townhomes, and cottages—so that more people who connect with the vision may have a place here. While pricing will reflect the elevated nature of the community, every home, no matter the size or style, will embody the same storybook aesthetic and spirit of Emberbrook.

  • Emberbrook is led by Elissandria Draymere, who serves as the founder and creative director behind the concept. She oversees the worldbuilding, aesthetic direction, and long-term vision for the village.

    As Emberbrook progresses, the project will partner with qualified professionals across architecture, planning, engineering, sustainability, and accessibility. The development process will be guided by experienced teams who specialize in building communities of this scale.

    While Elissandria provides the creative leadership and direction for Emberbrook, the execution of the village will be shaped through collaboration with the right experts as the project continues to evolve.
