​ 4-Month Rental of Fully Furnished Home

In Friendly Cohousing Community

FrogSong Cohousing, Cotati, Sonoma County, CA

April 1 – July 31, 2024

$2,000/mo includes all utilities, HOA, Satellite TV, Internet, & Monthly House Cleaning

My 3-bedroom, 1&1/2-bathroom ground floor 2-story unit is 1290 square feet, fully furnished in an Asian / Scandinavian style with in-floor radiant heating, a well-equipped kitchen, and a small private garden which opens to a shared community lawn. Downstairs are the kitchen, dining room, living room, and work area with a desk and a half bathroom.  Upstairs has the 3 bedrooms and full bathroom.

The main bedroom has a queen-size bed.  The 2nd bedroom is furnished as a spacious office, ideal for working from home with a desk overlooking the community meadow and a large screen to connect to your computer.  The 3rd bedroom is a multipurpose room with a library and home fitness equipment.   Renters will be asked to sign a written lease, share financial information, and provide a one-month security deposit.

Living at FrogSong Cohousing offers a rare opportunity to be part of a multigenerational, supportive community while enjoying the privacy of your own home.  FrogSong was founded 20 years ago and continues as a collaborative, sustainable community.  FrogSong is 100% solar with parking and 20 EV charging stations (not included in rent) for electric vehicles. We have an organic garden, permaculture landscape with 79 fruit trees, a common house with a large kitchen, dining room, guest rooms, laundry room, children’s play area, fully furnished wood workshop, as well as an outdoor children’s playground, BBQ, table tennis and hot tub.

We gather in the common house 2-3 times a week for optional common meals, community meetings and various activities like movie or game nights.  We spend time together outside working in our vegetable garden, doing landscape work or getting together for spontaneous outings and walks.

Neighborhood:  FrogSong is located in downtown Cotati, within walking distance of Oliver’s grocery store, restaurants and public transportation, including the Smart train. Sonoma State University is 3 miles away and offers many public musical and other events. Sonoma is renowned for its good wine, scenic coastline and redwoods, yet is only 55 miles north of San Francisco and 30 minutes from the coast.

The Ideal Renter:  Will be a vaccinated, boosted non-smoker(s).  We would especially welcome someone (an individual, couple, or parent and child) who is/are familiar with living in community and interested in exploring co-housing.  To get the most benefit from living in community, renters may participate in community meals and other activities.  Sorry, but no pets.

Future Rental Opportunity:  It is likely my home will be available again for rent from October 1, 2024 to March 31, 2025, as I will be traveling extensively over the next year, so let me know if you are interested in those dates as well.
