Seeking Investor –

Tired of being socially isolated or want to get your hands in the dirt? Please consider investing in Zephyr Creek Crossing – a successful, 4-unit intentional community started in 2008 with a focus on sustainability, organic gardening, and being good neighbors.

Acquired in 2008 by two retirees, (Andy has recently passed and Sue has health issues), so we are hoping to find someone interested in continuing the community who will purchase the property and take advantage of the over $550,000 investment already completed.  Asking $437,500.

The property is presently solely owned, consisting of two buildings (4 living areas) on about 3 acres of wooded hillside and two small creeks.  We are conveniently located in Madison County about 40 miles south of Lexington in the heart of the Bluegrass, between Berea (home of Berea College, Sustainable Berea, the Ecovillage and Berea Urban Farm AKA the Arts and Craft Capital of Kentucky) and Richmond, about ten miles from I-75.

We have picked residents who share our view of neighborliness and ecology and want to live in an active neighborhood. Residents function under a normal rental agreement, and in addition to paying market rent including utilities (averaging $750 a month), each resident is asked to contribute four hours a month to the community.
