What we do

We have a unique property that could be an amazing intentional living community. We live here now and do basic leases with our neighbors who rent, but we’d love to have community minded neighbors. The main reason I am posting because in 3-5 years we plan to sell and if other groups are looking to buy they should check us out. Our consolidated holdings are .7 acres, or two city lots, that share a long driveway creating a uniquely private space in the city. There is a beautiful wooded area in the back that creates privacy in the winter, and stunning views of downtown St. Paul and the Capital building in the winter. Each lot has a duplex and large garage. Each separate apartment/home has 4 bedrooms and at least 2 baths. The lower level of the back duplex is fully finished and separate from the living quarters: It is 1600 square feet, half could be a 5th one bedroom apartment/a day care space/a party room. The other half could be an office/a play room/work from home set up/yoga studio or extension of whatever the space next to it is used for. The unique 2 spaces are fully separated, lockable and accessible without going through anyone’s home. There is plenty of parking for guests. We have drafted plan for the the largest home (over 3000 square feet with 4 bedrooms and 3 baths) to be divided into a main home and a separate, but connected mother-in-law apartement. Total potential: 6 living spaces, plus a common meeting area.

Our Mission

Presently: Just neighborliness. Currently, common spaces are used for private purposes.

Worktrade Opportunities on Big Island Hawaii

We are continuing our work-trade program at Bridge Hawaii for the right people on this beautiful 86-acre land located along the Hāmākua Coast. Ideally, we want to host those individuals who can help with the garden and who can support with build projects for up to a 3 month stay. This work-trade would include lodging, food staples, community kitchen, running hot water showers, off-grid electricity, and laundry. There is access to high speed wi-fi. We often have a car that can be reserved. We also have full bar signal strength with Verizon cellphone service. We have about 2 acres of permaculture garden that needs to be cared for including; weeding, planting, picking up mulch, some tree trimming, ect. We are currently in a building stage on the land. We have a few current grant projects we are working on and some build projects that are underway. We are an intentional community with about 8 permanent residents. There are rescue dairy cows, mini cows, mini donkeys, horses, a donkey, cats, dogs, and active bee hives. We are a drug and alcohol “free” space. A glass of wine or beer with dinner is fine, but absolutely no day drinking or parties. We have a meditation temple and many waterfall pools that are wonderful for swimming. Close to some of the nicest beaches on island. We have snorkeling gear and a kayak. Since this is an animal sanctuary, we limit the consumption of meat on the land. Fish, eggs, honey, and dairy are fine. Let me know if you’re interested by sending an email or text for our application. Maomi (801) 623-0738 ma***@*****************ii.com
