What we do

Built on one acre within North Boulder’s Holiday Neighborhood, Silver Sage is between 28th and Broadway, north of Yarmouth on 16th and Yellow Pine. Silver Sage has sixteen duplexes and attached homes, a large community center and other common buildings (woodworking shop, garden and bicycle sheds), and a common courtyard with internal sidewalks and landscaping.
We are especially proud of our community center, the physical hub of Silver Sage. As residents, we have contributed to the design of this center. The community house includes a large kitchen and dining area, a guest room, craft room, media room, exercise and meditation rooms, and a large artist coop shared by 5 artists. Our spacious deck has exceptional views of the Flatirons.
The combination of 10 market-rate and 6 deed-restricted homes in Silver Sage are thoughtfully designed, upscale, and built with the latest sustainable features. Each includes a well-equipped kitchen, living area, bedrooms and baths, as well as outside decks, porches or sitting areas. Legally, Silver Sage is governed as a condominium association.

Our Mission

Silver Sage Village is a senior cohousing community (age 50+) with a common vision of aging in community and supporting one another while striving to live together with compassion, generosity and respect.
We come together from diverse backgrounds and a variety of life experiences. We hope to meet the challenges that this brings by striving for mutual understanding founded on respect, caring and kindness. We also appreciate that our differences bring valuable resources that enhance our experience of living in community, and we value the contribution of every member.
We are committed to establishing a balance between our private lives and our contributions to the common good, thereby creating a beautiful place and supportive community in which to live and explore aging in community.

Join us in Our Adventure of Co-Creating a Life of Peace, Love, and Abundance Together!

LOOKING FOR OUR NEW FAMILY OF CO CREATORS TO JOIN OUR ADVENTURE! Message us to schedule a visit! More about us and our vision below! Read on and we look forward to hearing from you soon if you feel in alignment with our vision! A forming and co-created spiritually-oriented intentional community and homestead nestled in the beautiful woods of Northern Michigan. We are focused on self-awareness, free and open spiritual/consciousness development, sustainable living, self sufficiency, growing organic food, building small energy efficient homes/dwellings, peace, and freedom in all things. We are looking to build a community of like minded souls that share in our vision of creating a harmonious and sustainable way of life that is close to nature and focused on living from the heart/soul. Seeking kind, compassionate, caring, and emotionally mature souls who are good at non violent communication, resolving conflict peacefully, and working together. The community property is well on its way to sustainability already with a fruit orchard with over 18 apple trees and a variety of plum and pear trees. The property also has 2 very large organic gardens covering around 3 acres in total combined size filled with organic healthy vegetables for community self sufficiency, farm market selling, and food preserving (canning). We have plans to build a couple energy efficient green houses in the near future! We are also getting 30-40 chickens for egg production within the next month. Also considering a couple cows or goats for milk. We currently have 3 houses on the homestead property that are available to new community members for rent or work trade or a combination of both! The main community house has potentially 6 bedrooms available as well. We have plans to build multiple small/tiny homes and cabins in the beautiful woods here for members that are energy efficient and off grid with renewable clean energy/electricity and rainwater harvesting. We are working on a community in
