Is a society that is in harmony with nature, yet have the technology to harness it with out waste, possible?
A soceity that is fair and equatable, and everyone has all their basic needs met.
Is it to far to believe in a utopian society possible?

Islamically speaking, it's a belief that it will happen. So, no.

The only time I'm aware of is the 7 or so years of the rule of Mahdi.

Rasulullah [Muhammad] said: “There will be four peace agreements between you and the Romans [Christians]. The fourth agreement will be mediated through a person who will be from the progeny of Hadrat Haroon [Honorable Aaron – Moses’ brother] and will be upheld for seven years. (Emphasis mine) 28
It appears that the period of this seven year peace agreement will likewise be the period of the Mahdi’s reign. While there are a few traditions that specify that the Mahdi will reign on the earth for as much as eight or possibly even nine years, most traditions state that the time of his reign will be seven years.
The Prophet said… He will divide the property, and will govern the people by the Sunnah of their Prophet and establish Islam on Earth. He will remain seven years, then die, and the Muslims will pray over him. (Emphasis mine) 29
The Prophet said: The Mahdi… will fill the earth with equity and justice as it was filled with oppression and tyranny, and he will rule for seven years. (Emphasis mine) 30

Yes, but... the rule of Isa (as)... Isn't it 40 years of complete peace, after all wars and religious sects are gone? That is what I was referring to. This reads more as a peace treaty.
