What we do

Hello interested Buyers,
This is Mark Smith, I have created the Commons at Windekind, you can learn more about it and the land we have for sale, go to (www.windekindcommons.com )
The Commons model of ownership includes eight individually owned house sites that range in size from one acre to over four acres. Each of the eight households will also own a 1/9 share of the remaining 131 acres the equivalent of more than 15 acres per family depending on the size of the private parcel. Marijke and I will live in the original farmhouse as equal members owning 1/9th of the Common Land.
Two cottages, Breidablick and Campanula, are part of the Commons, Breidablick and Campanula have been sold along with three parcels, but three remain for sale priced between $210,000 and $260,000.
Integrating private and public space affords member families the opportunity to create private lawns and gardens, build buildings, including adjunct structures and protect privacy. Public or common areas provide member families access to large tracts of open and forested land that can be used for gardening, farming, conservation, and many recreational purposes. Common land and buildings are places where people come together to socialize, work, and create, while protecting and sustaining a priceless natural resource for themselves, their children, and future generations.
For more details about the remaining parcels please call me at 802-434-4455 or E mail me at Ma**@************ms.com
Thank you
Mark
