Living with Nature
Welcome to Habitat First Group TV, here our team will be providing you with exciting stories and updates across our eco-conscious, sustainably driven portfolio of estates. HFG was founded on the principle of creating holiday home communities that share a deep love for Mother Nature, it’s at the heart of everything we do whether it’s living with nature, building with nature or holidaying with nature.
We have so many stories to share with you, from life in the world-renowned Cotswolds at our Lower Mill Estate, to Silverlake Dorset, our coastal haven located on the Jurassic Coast. Our team is here to keep you in conversation with HFG bringing you snippets of content surrounding the family business, lifestyle, seasonal updates, ecology and of course our award-winning architectural property designs.
