Sustainable from the start
For people, for the environment
From blueprint to landscape, Tuscan Village was built to respect the plants and animals native to our local climate.
From the start, Tuscan Village was designed to reduce our human impact on the environment and highlight the natural beauty of the Northeast.
Tuscan Lake
Our impact begins with ripples on a lake
A cornerstone of our community, Tuscan Lake is a project that started with a small lake and grew to a 4-acre environmentally conscious ecosystem.
With the help of NH Environmental Services, Fisheries Biologists, Wetland Scientists, and GIS Specialists, we made sure the lake was something local wildlife would thrive in.
- A wildlife program helps preserve native species to re-build the ecosystem
- Native flora like blueberries, sweet peppers, birch trees, and Bulrush were re-introduced
- Our disrupted Osprey habitat has been restored so they can mate and return for years to come

Rain Gardens
Responsible landscaping with Rain Gardens
As a means of natural water filtration, the rain gardens at Tuscan village help mitigate flooding, treat runoff from polluted stormwater, and enhance green space in the area with curved water flow flood plains.
This puts our rain cycle to use rather than artificial means that could harm our aquatic wildlife.
Efficiency and Impact
Small details make a big impact
Tuscan Village explored various traditional and innovative techniques to conserve energy and make eco-friendly maintenance more efficient.
