Promise Land Co., Ltd. is recruiting residents for Nature City, a large-scale complex equipped with smart farms in Yeoju.
Nature City is a large-scale rural return, rural migration, tourism, and cultural complex with about 12,000 households located in the Yeoju area, where the natural environment inhabited by flying squirrels remains intact. With the goal of developing the added value of rural areas and providing a better living environment than cities for those dreaming of returning to farming, it is expected to become an eco-friendly smart city that satisfies all lifestyles including housing, income, culture, education, and healthcare.
When considering rural return and migration life, transportation is the biggest concern. Nature City is 7 minutes from Yangdong Station, 13 minutes from Yeoju Station, and 10 minutes from Yeoju Bus Terminal, offering excellent accessibility to Pangyo and Gangnam. In addition, there are eight interchanges including Yeongdong, Second Yeongdong, and Jungbu Inland Expressways, boasting a well-connected transportation environment.
The housing consists of five types: three types of European-style detached houses and two types of terraced houses, allowing residents to choose according to their lifestyle. As a large-scale complex, it is expected that residents’ satisfaction will be high due to the perfectly equipped social networks and infrastructure that foster bonds with neighbors. Inside the houses, all units feature premium tile installation, and the design uses system windows to achieve passive house-level energy efficiency, enabling 30-40% energy savings compared to similarly sized houses.
Concerns about children's education can also be alleviated. Nature City operates an alternative school at the level of an international school suitable for the global era, providing an educational space that fosters children's talents and potential with a global education motto. Furthermore, it is adjacent to beautiful natural environments such as Banggye Reservoir, Jangsu Waterfall, Namhan River, Hwanghak Mountain Arboretum, and Gangcheon Island, allowing residents to enjoy leisure in a pleasant setting.
Moreover, it features aspects of a smart city that combines tourism, culture, and recreation. In particular, the complex includes various themed streets and cultural facilities such as a coffee culture street, cinema, botanical garden, cave gallery, water park, and kids’ land, enabling residents to enjoy diverse activities comparable to those in a city. Plans include a traditional market and night market for local residents within the complex, and a European-style vineyard along the walking trail to create a Korean-style winery. Additionally, a general hospital and health screening center will be established within the complex to provide regular checkups and medical services.
Above all, the greatest advantage of Nature City Yeoju is the opportunity to challenge 'digital agriculture' through smart farms that can generate income. The smart farm spans about 2 million pyeong (approximately 6.6 million square meters) and is developed as a complex equipped with advanced farming facilities where various agricultural functions are automatically controlled. Through PC and mobile devices, users can monitor greenhouse temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide levels, and remotely and automatically control window openings and nutrient supply, making it easy and convenient to maintain and manage the optimal growth environment. Moreover, by introducing advanced systems throughout the selection, cultivation, production, processing, and distribution of specialty crops in cooperation with local related organizations and industry-academic groups, it is possible to generate profits.
Nature City Yeoju is currently operating a promotional center.
