Note: we have a room opening for July 1st, 2026! Please text or email to inquire!

We are founding a small community on 7.25 acres of wooded, hilly land in Hamden, Connecticut, USA, with a ranch house, a stream, a streamside meadow, and soaring poplars and maples. Although the land is heavily populated with invasive species, there’s also trout lilies, trillium, bloodroot, white wood asters, snakeroot, and several types of goldenrod. Day to day, we will be spending a lot of time together as a community: cooking and eating together; sharing chores; working together on home and land improvement projects; and hanging out. We want to host occasional events like workshops, cookouts, and backyard shows.

We want to manage the forest as a forest-understory farm that provides food for humans, especially mushrooms, shade-tolerant native edible plants like mayapple, honewort, ramps and fiddleheads, and water plants like wapato and cattail. We want the land to provide way more ecosystem services than it does now and support all kinds of wildlife, from turkeys to caterpillars. There is also mown yard near the house that can be converted over time into small garden and orchard areas. We have chickens, goats, and livestock guardian dogs.

The community is about 15 car-minutes or 30 bike-minutes from central New Haven. The monthly cost-share amount is $800 for one person or $1200 for two people sharing one room, plus utilities. We want to protect the land so that it can never be sold, but instead is owned in trust by the community, providing everyone who lives there with land security.

As a community, we have a lot of thoughts about power, privilege and how to live as justly as possible in a deeply unjust world. We are committed to restorative conflict resolution, and to anti-racism.

If this sounds like your dream living situation, please message us! We’ll be happy to answer any questions and send an application your way

Valle Armonia is comprised of a group of practical idealists, grounded by the natural surroundings and devotion to our project. Our long term vision includes a healing/retreat center and a cutting edge children’s educational facility.

Our village center is perched on a ridge in between two beautiful valleys, surrounded by vibrant jungle. Not only are we blessed with a river and a smaller creek, but we also own most of the valley that the creek runs through.

We are located 5 km due west of the Caribbean coast and 8 km due north of the Panama border, 5 km by road to the paved highway, 6 km to the nearest stores in Hone Creek, 12 km to the alternative-reggae-tourist-town of Puerto Viejo, and 15 km to Cahuita, a small, quiet town famous for it’s Caribbean island culture and entrance to Cahuita National Park. It’s also a 13 km drive to Bribri, our local municipality and the commercial center for the Bribri indigenous people.

This is the most culturally diverse region in Costa Rica! Not only are the majority of indigenous and Afro-Caribbean communities in this country living here, but there are many foreigners from all over the world who now call this area their home.

We started planting fruit trees almost immediately upon purchasing the first parcel of land in 2018. We now have an established communal fruit forest with many varieties of fruit trees, a significant number producing. Members also plant fruit trees and an increasing variety of vegetables and flowering plants on their quarter/half hectare parcel lots. We utilize permaculture principles and are constantly learning about growing food in this climate, partly through networking with small organic farmers in the area.

Irish House is a community-minded shared household in a large 1905 Victorian home within walking distance of downtown South Boston, Virginia. We are looking for one additional housemate who wants both a private place of their own and a friendly, cooperative household.
The available corner bedroom is a comfortable size, has multiple windows, modern wiring, overhead lighting, central air conditioning, and a lockable door. It can be furnished or left unfurnished. Residents share a full kitchen, washer and dryer, generous common spaces, three porches, and off-street parking. The house has three full bathrooms; two are generally available to housemates and provide both shower and bathtub options across the two floors.
Irish House is a real, lived-in historic home that is being restored in phases. Major exterior and systems work has been completed, but some interior spaces remain works in progress. There may be boxes, tools, imperfect plaster, peeling paint, or planned projects. We want to be honest about that because the right housemate will find the house interesting and full of potential rather than expecting a polished apartment complex.
Community here means being considerate, communicating directly, cleaning up after yourself, and taking part in a reasonable rotation for shared bathrooms, the kitchen, and common areas. We hold brief household check-ins twice a month. Shared meals, gardening, creative projects, and renovation activities are welcome but are not mandatory or substitutes for rent.
Rent for the available room is $650 per month plus an equal share of actual household utilities, currently expected to be approximately $120-$160 per person depending on season, use, and occupancy. Utilities are shared for ordinary residential use; documented costs caused by materially excessive consumption are outside the shared amount and are the responsible resident’s obligation. A $650 security deposit is required. The agreement is written and month-to-month.
Applicants should have verifiable income or savings sufficient to pay consistently. Our process includes an initial conversation, a video or in-person tour, references and screening, and an opportunity for everyone in the household to determine whether the arrangement feels workable. No indoor pets. Assistance-animal requests will be considered as required by applicable law.
Irish House is inclusive, LGBTQ-friendly, creative, and connected to the wider South Boston community. We are looking for someone who wants a stable home, values both privacy and connection, and is comfortable living in a beautiful old house that is still becoming what it can be.

Cornerstone Cohousing consists of 32 units — 23 apartments split across two three-story buildings, one of which is our common house — and 9 townhouses. We are located in a diverse neighborhood in North Cambridge with easy access to public transportation, stores, restaurants, and open spaces such as the Alewife Linear Park, which adjoins our property and provides for both pedestrians and bikers. The community design maximizes open shared space, including gardens for both flowers and veggies, a playground structure, a large yard for play space and community events, and a patio with grills for shared outdoor meals. Our common house offers a large dining room with a well-equipped kitchen for community dinners as well as large meetings and social events. The building also houses a den, a kids’ playroom, an arts & crafts room, an exercise room, a workshop with shared tools, and 13 apartments.

The community is fully accessible to mobility-disabled persons, both residents and visitors. All residences have level entries and, in multiple-story townhouses, an accessible powder room on the first floor. All doors are wide enough to accommodate wheelchairs.

The physical design encourages spontaneous interaction. In addition to regular resident-prepared community meals, we build community through shared activities, work, play, and celebrations. Learning and teaching skills between members, especially across generations, is encouraged. Interdependence and mutual assistance are an integral part of daily life. Many of us are involved in the neighborhood as well as the wider community. We use consensus as our mode of decision-making.

The community promotes cultural, racial, and economic diversity through a broad outreach, the inclusion of four city affordable units, and a welcoming attitude. We have families with children, singles, couples, and empty nesters.

Cohousing allows for a lighter, less consumer-oriented lifestyle. Economies of scale abound, including the sharing of tools, child care, and guest rooms. We recycle, compost, conserve water, have solar panels and EV chargers, and try to be as environmentally responsible as we can.

Structured as a condominium, all of our units are owner-occupied. There are very rare rental opportunities, usually sharing a unit with others. All pricing is in line with the Cambridge real estate market.

Kalikalos is a seasonal summer community located in the Pelion region of Greece, first established by the Holly Foundation (a 501(C)3 not-for-profit educational trust) to demonstrate the value of authentic community as a vehicle for a new culture of peace, partnership and sustainability. Our mission is to show that by sharing, working, learning, and playing together, each of us—by living our own unique truths—can heal ourselves and our planet.

*

We are an educational project, in effect a living-learning community-based summer school, running each year for five months from mid-May through mid-October in Greece. The core community consists of two or three full-time members and up to half a dozen transient volunteers who stay for periods of one to five months, receiving food and accommodation in exchange for their work in the community. Our income is derived from workshops, retreats, work-camps, and conferences in the areas of healing (self and planet), personal creativity, interpersonal communication, and Self-enquiry.

*

Our aim is to provide a temporary but authentic community environment for our guests and participants to practice living the values and insights gained through the holistic courses offered here.

*

The international community group that holds the Centre is inspired by the Findhorn ecovillage in northern Scotland, employing many of the processes developed there, including particularly attunement with nature, focalisation of work, and Way of Council. Our decisions are mostly made through consensus. We have a large organic vegetable garden that incorporates permaculture principles. We are located in the Pelion forest, a lush green ecosystem about seven kilometers from spectacular Aegean beaches.

*

We are always open to new temporary community members, who usually come to us first on a two-week trial basis during which we ask for a small financial contribution (currently $200).

*

During the winter months community members disperse, but many of them continue to work for the community doing fund raising, PR, web design, brochure layout, and other administrative jobs in preparation for the following summer in Greece.

We have a calling from God to dedicate our life to Him in a special way, through prayer, service to animals, homeless people, and community life. The word vocation comes from the Latin vocare, meaning “to call.” So when we say, we have a “religious vocation,” it means we feel called by God to live a holy life of service beyond ordinary Christian living.

Nestled deep in the wild nature of Naples, far from noise, distractions, and public transport. We live to serve God and we care for 100+ beautiful animals: cats, goats, ducks, chickens, peacocks, guineas and even some unexpected extra wild visitors. We do not practice what the world has normalized, we listen to worship music and preaching on youtube every day, and we follow extended lent diet, a flesh-free, Plant based diet, and strive to walk in obedience, love, and holiness.

We are an oasis of peace in a noisy, busy world.

We embody: Silence and simplicity. Harmony with nature. Constant prayer and gratitude. Love, humility, and service.

Laughter is welcomed, music is frequent, and humility is expressed through kindness, not severity.
Members know that holiness doesn’t mean sadness, it means radiant peace and gentle humor

Finca Cultura is a Self-Reliant Vegan Homestead located in Southern Ecuador and we are “Preppers”. We understand the world’s supply chain can experience issues at any time which will make it complicated for all of us to purchase essential products. As farmers we also observe many climate change issues. These issues can lead to food shortages. Our homestead is actively taking steps to prepare for these scenarios. We have a spring fed river on our land that flows all year, we collect rainwater from skies that have zero chemtrails, and we have perfect weather to grow food all year without the need for preservation or canning. Our lifestyle has an emphasis on simplicity and off-grid living but we also have grid electricity and high speed internet. Often we invite guests to visit our homestead for day trips, extended visits, and for long term residence. This land is approximately 2.5 acres with over 100 varieties of Fruit Producing Plants, Various Herbs, Vegetable Plants, & Flowers. There are many nearby hiking trails & Nature Parks. Our night sky is great for star gazing with minimal light pollution. To generate money for our community we have a physical store / restaurant in town that sells flowers, seeds, fruits, prepared foods, and various seasonal products. We also offer edible landscaping services to local property owners and do online consulting. Our land and restaurant are equipped to host events. We live by “the four agreements” and expect all guests to do the same. These agreements are very important to us. If you do not understand our agreements then please ask questions so we can discuss them. The agreements are: 1) Speak impeccably 2) Do your best 3) Take nothing personally 4) Make no assumptions. We currently have private bedrooms to share in the Adobe House. We also have tents to share with bedding materials. We are a 15 minute walk or $1.75 taxi ride from downtown where standard amenities of life are available. All guests are expected to work up to 2 hours per day or pay $10 per day per person to compensate for housing expenses. The most common tasks at the homestead are: harvesting, composting, weeding, making biochar,  and planting. This is the 6th homestead we have built together since September 2020. This is a great opportunity for Inquisitive people to learn many skills. As a Vegan Homestead we trap, cage, or restrain zero animals.  All guests of more than one week will have a 7 day trial phase. If you are not compatible with our expectations after the 1st week you will be given constructive criticism and/or asked to leave as we have been advised to do by the WWOOF terms of service. If you are asked to leave you will have up to 1 week to leave the property. If visiting, working with, or living with us interests you please send us a message with all the questions you have for us. You will be given a questionnaire to complete, we will then schedule a voice chat with you, and if approved you will be given a liability waiver to sign. Thank you for reading this. We appreciate you!

Update: The Universe Building experienced an arson fire in December of 2023 . Although we did receive a $20,000 grant just before the fire we were unable to secure a new location in time to utilize the grant award. Instead we had to get more practical and purchased our first land bank house , have since passed inspection and awarded ownership and deed to 1969 Ford St. in Detroit,  this time on south side of Highland Park. Currently we are in process of obtaining the side lots (land) for our community garden. We do currently host travelers, musicians, artists, activists for work trade and if applicable can live here longer term if requested. Our next steps are to save up enough additional funding to purchase a second land bank or tax auction property so we can raise enough capital to purchase a new project center to reopen a new chapter of U.I.O. almost exactly what we had described going on described below at our previous intentional community project center only this time actually own it outright thru the non-profit and have even more sovereignty and human rights to function and operate in terms of our anarchist eco-friendly  D.I.Y. independent collectivist space for workshops and commons programs to support local artists and establish permaculture & sustainability in Detroit not just for our gardening program but for permanent residential intentional community , music & performing arts & cultural events , independent publishing and infoshop commons areas , workshops for our bike coop & upcyclery free store / recycling program , community kitchen / bakery coop including the U.I.O. radio & media center .

Camino al Sol – Yaogará is a Colombian-owned medicine community and nature reserve in the mountains of El Retiro, Antioquia, approximately 45–60 minutes from Medellín. Several families live and work here, caring for the land and welcoming small groups into a traditional Colombian yagé retreat process.

Our life is rooted in family, service, collective care, spiritual practice, and respect for Colombia’s living medicine traditions. Yaogará includes homes, shared cabins, a communal kitchen, gardens, forest paths, a bohio, and a dedicated Medicine House. Daily life includes caring for the reserve, preparing food, maintaining buildings, raising children, making music, supporting guests, and stewarding community projects.

Camino al Sol offers structured five-night retreats with three guided yagé ceremonies held by experienced Colombian taitas. The process includes bilingual facilitation, medical screening before acceptance, preparation, meals, accommodation, transport from Medellín or the airport, integration, and aftercare. Standard groups are limited to 12 people. We do not offer drop-in ceremonies or psychedelic tourism.

We also welcome grounded volunteers who want to contribute practical time and skills to the land and community. Volunteer placements are arranged individually according to current needs, availability, experience, responsibilities, and accommodation. Volunteering is separate from residential membership, and participation in yagé ceremonies is never required. Ceremonial suitability is evaluated separately.

Visitors and volunteers must arrange their stay in advance; please do not arrive without confirmation. We are not currently accepting new residential members.

Yaogará is intentionally simple and rural, with mountain weather, shared spaces, internet, electricity, running water, and proper sanitation. We welcome people who value humility, honest communication, respect for Colombian culture, practical service, and responsibility toward land and community.

The Natural Behavior Permaculture Project is a mindful intention to explore the natural human instinct as it was evolved by reality. Our genetic legacy tells the tale of a defenseless, balding mammal, once from the trees, but now thriving on the ground. Surviving through the power of cooperative social instincts which carried our ancestors through, we accumulated genes for ecological balance just as the birds, and the bees, and the trees around us, before language even emerged. Language abilities eventually introduced the potential for falsehoods to begin accumulating culturally until superstition gave our social instincts a shared fiction that institutions could control, and a dark age of lies began. Cultural learning can, and must, carry the great responsibility of passing down our growing body of discovered knowledge, but we are too easily blinded by fictions and broken from our native compassion by violent fears. While honoring the critical place for cultural learning and scientific discovery, we remember to remember that our instincts still carry precious wisdom written in our DNA by evolution and deep time. We listen deeply and playfully to the social space between ourselves in order to restore our native behavior and social instincts in loving, honest, and sustainable community with each other and for the well-being of all. In order to thrive in caring collaboration as a naturally social species, we honor the ancient wisdom of our biological evolution by awakening our suppressed human instincts to Empathy, Honesty, and Humility, rather than fear, fiction, or folly. To this end we share a nurturing a philosophy of naturist communal polyamory, deeply principled ethics, and regenerative living.

Hi All, I’m looking for 4 aligned people who’d love to live in a beautiful area of Colorado Springs beginning Sep 1st or thereafter. This will be a rent based, conscious collaborative home who’s members value building a vision together and will enthusiastically pour their energies into the space with the knowledge that creating something together requires an equal balance of give/receive. The monetary balance is 1k per month, per room, utilities included. As we evolve, there will be opportunity to offset rent with income streams created with the house and gardens.

This is for the ones who are not afraid of the work involved to create a harmonious team , accountability, openness, transparency. There will be issues and we will address them out in the open, rather than let things get buried. I’ve been an intuitive coach/guide/energy healer for over 13 years and have methods to bring people into balance . Prepare to be seen in glorious ways and in uncomfortable ways. It is imperative now that we create communities which the ego cannot sabotage and I look forward to being in the position of energy guide for the house.

The home itself is situated on one of the quietest, most peaceful streets in the Springs with no through traffic and established homes and trees mostly from the 60’s. It backs up to land trust of 55 acres and plans are being developed to grow food starting mid August. It has a perfect , sloping, east facing garden area for terracing. The long term project will include an orchard, bees and chickens using radical methods, another one of the specialties I can guide. We welcome all kinds of idea-strong people with the experience to back it up.

There is 4500 sq ft with multiple common areas, an indoor sauna and outdoor hot tub. Multiple decks with wildlife views , a garage and a workshop for creating and storage. At this time, we invite singles with no pets as the founders. First step is an email to explain why you would be a good fit for the home with photos and a video call to follow. Thank you for reading. Looking forward to engaging. catchplane@yahoo.com

There are two ways into Greece’s first community-led cohousing network: a new-build mountain-foothills village in the Peloponnese, or an adaptive-reuse project where you help choose the property itself. Both are shaped by the vision and values of the people who will live there.

PATH ONE: TAYGETE COHOUSING VILLAGE — NEW-BUILD, PELOPONNESE

A mountain agrihood at the foot of the majestic Taygetus Mountains, inspired by the UNESCO village of Monemvasia — pristine national forest and hiking, olive groves, a vineyard, farm, surrounded by mountain villages and close to extraordinary beaches. Common House with a full coworking suite, incredible kitchen for indoor/outdoor dining, workout room and lounge with fireplace. Includes a pool, gardens, soccer field, and village plateia. Adjacent to a luxury wellness resort with a spa and farm-to-table restaurants now being built. 2.5 hours from Athens International Airport, 20 min. drive to a vibrant town with nightly filled tavernas and a new hospital, 25 min. drive to beaches and charming fishing villages.

Project Advantage: This project does not require the group to take out a collective construction loan — a rare, significant risk reduction most forming cohousing projects can’t offer. This project also provides the opportunity for a Golden Visa for permanent residency in Greece, with the advantages of European healthcare, access to universities, and Schengen business and travel.

Stage of Development: Site Selection Completed. Feasibility studies completed. Development Partner Selection Completed. Collaborative Site and Village Design Process Completed. Finance Plan Completed. Architectural and Environmental Studies have been completed and are in the modification process. A current building permit exists and is undergoing modification. Once the permit modification process is complete, member investment opportunities will open. Utility infrastructure excavation is underway, and only 12 of 36 households need to move forward with the next construction phase.

Homes: 36 total — 1, 2, and 3-bedroom private residences. A small number of part-time (6-month) homes and co-living options also exist, each room with its own bath and balcony. Prices include land share, home, Common House, infrastructure, and amenities: from €400,000–€800,000. Common House has 7 guest rooms.

PATH TWO: ADAPTIVE REUSE PROJECT — RETROFIT | REGENERATION | RENOVATION

A seed group is forming to explore the many adaptive reuse and regenerative property opportunities.
What makes this path different: Greece offers a rare supply of ready-made raw material for this kind of project — hotels built like villages, luxury estates perfect for a ready-made Common House and for siting prefabricated homes nearby, and semi-completed construction projects available for purchase. The possibilities here are genuinely fertile for group purchase and adaptive reuse.
A small founding group will help choose the property and location, evaluating each option through a cohousing design lens.  This is a lower-cost, faster-moving path than a ground-up build, with a target budget of approximately €200,000–€450,000 per household.
Where we are:The group is shaping collective criteria for the right property, alongside property review, professional consultation, community formation, and preliminary feasibility work. Explorer Members engage directly with the search itself — visiting locations under serious consideration during site tours and discerning together as a cohort. See our site tour page for dates.

Who thrives here:People serious about moving abroad and building a multinational community — not just cohousing-curious, but ready for the real work of co-creating something bigger than themselves. Values: community service, sustainability, inclusivity, shared governance, lifelong learning, and respect for Hellenic tradition. Diverse nationalities, diverse ideologies, diverse religions and spiritual practices, diverse languages (although English is our common language), diverse cultures. This community does not run a common business or share income.

First step: Go to our website and book an Information Coffee. Become an Explorer Member, immerse in our process, receive orientation and intro to sociocracy, and decide which path — or whether either — is right for you.

Support System: Evi Gerou (Pare) is the founder of the Greek Village Cohousing Incubation Hub, which originated both projects and stewards their foundation. Evi is a former refugee law attorney who fell in love with cohousing after 5 years living in Touchstone Cohousing. Greek Village Cohousing has nurtured a network of professionals supporting the move from vision to reality — our Developer and other development-related professionals are listed on our website, along with sample member bios, and separate “transition to Greece” professionals from our network are available to all full members for a more fully supported move to Greece.

True North Cohousing Community is a forming member-owned intentional community for single, child-free women near Watertown, Wisconsin — part of a tradition of women creating intentional community outside mainstream structures that goes back more than fifty years.

We are envisioning two possible models, both on the table as the founding team comes together. The first is a tiny house village on rural Wisconsin land — privately owned homes clustered around shared common space. The second is adaptive reuse of an existing structure — a former Masonic lodge, a vintage motel, or similar — reimagined as clustered private dwellings with common space built in. Wisconsin’s small towns and rural corridors offer both possibilities, and the right land or building will help determine which path we take.

Members hold their homes through membership, not through a landlord-tenant relationship with True North. The land is held collectively. Governance follows a sociocracy framework — consent-based, non-hierarchical decision-making with authority distributed to smaller circles for day-to-day management.

We’re early-stage and building deliberately: the right people first, then structure and land. Our values: depth over breadth in relationships; presence as a practice; autonomy with accountability; curiosity as a way of being; and care that doesn’t wait to be asked.

Membership criteria reflect the identity of this community and the women who choose to live here. If you are a woman who has chosen to center your own life and want to live among others who have made the same choice, we’d like to hear from you

The Vivante Community is both a location and a decade-plus selected and developed group of social structures. These social structures, and the group of individuals whom reside together or participate, are referred to as Vivante.

Through experience, this group chooses and engineers systems that have the best results to discover what our personal inner condition “is”.

What might be possible as we become more aware of who we are individually and who we are in relationship to others?

We recognize this awareness springs forth from moving in the direction of self-responsibility, transparency, and compassion; while living together, finding strategies that might reveal Love as a state of being.

Hi there and welcome,

I am a vegan yogi, who has been on a long path including rawfoods. My initiated spiritual name is Dhyan given to me by devotees of my guru, his name is Osho. He died in 1990 before I ever met him. I took Sanyassi with them.

I was a corporate tax lawyer in London till aged 27. I worked in the top firms in the world. I quit and began to question the capitalistic mindset. Ending up in India and finding the wisdom of yoga.

I live in a very remote part of the world, surrounded by eucalyptus forest, hundreds of km of it, and it is a long way to get here. It took me 3 years to find this place and buy it. It has a very spiritual Aboriginal connection called Nymboida – meaning Spirit Being. Nym-Boida in the Gumbayingarr language. I’ve spent 9 years developing this forest retreat.

I live alone in the wilderness doing yoga and growing fruit and vegetables. And I would like some friends to come live here with me to help grow this place into a loving, kind, small, eco-conscious spiritual community. The plan is to turn it into an interfaith yoga ashram.

This is a beautiful simple back to nature boutique yoga health retreat based on the spiritual teachings of the Unification Organisation of Collective Ascension. People are welcome to volunteer here for a minimum of 4 weeks.

There is a large two-storey eco-sustainable solar-powered off-grid house on 4 acres of mowed grounds, orchard, vegetable garden, organicish with 200 acres of secluded forest in Nymboida, Australia.

Two more huts need renovating and can be developed – there is a shed for volunteers that is very back to nature and nice.

There is camping for about ten more.  More yurts, huts and a temple are planned, and timber from the property has been logged, so carpenters, etc., are welcome to build with this. Those suitable will be assisted to build their own accommodation if they wish to live here.

Members must go through a visitor-resident period of at least 12 months. They must follow the vegan diet, practice yoga and meditation here and work 4-6 hours per day. All food and accommodation provided for you. I can also assist with visas through my NFP organisation. And possibly Australian citizenship.

Preferably, you are vegan or a raw fooder, don’t smoke, drink or do drugs and don’t have tattoos/piercings or attitude. And have a meditation and yoga practice.

Perfect for yoga and meditation.

Contact Name: Klaudia & Matt

Welcome to Fireside Manor, a community house in West Philly. The house consists of Klaudia, her partner Matt, 3 community members, our (barky) little terrier mix Duncan, and cat Meera. We’re looking for 1-2 additional housemates/community members with whom we can build a genuine connection over the long term.

We look for those who are:

Open-minded, creative, and OK with unconventionality

Value communication, emotional intelligence, boundaries, and have a desire to connect on a deeper level and share space/time/themselves with us, and vice versa

Clean, responsible, dependable, able & willing to help out with house cleaning regularly

Good with animals

Looking to be present & engaged in the house community (interested in hanging out + maintaining connection regularly, present to house events/meetings, etc.)

Social, as we have one Airbnb suite we rent out to visiting students coming for 1-3 months

Interested in cooking together, spending time together, sharing grocery items, and potentially doing house projects/seasonal house work together (there is a wood shop in the basement, a garden that needs tending to, etc.)

OK with both quiet/chill nights as well as an occasional party (think Burning Man style)

Want to live with us long-term (1 year and ideally longer), potentially through life transitions like having kids

The house is entirely furnished, including the bedrooms. If you have your own furniture, we can remove our furniture for you. Matt & Klaudia have the entire second floor as personal space; the first floor is all shared spaces: kitchen, plant room, dining room, living room, half bath. The house has a large covered front porch with chairs and a swing. We also have a nice backyard with a back deck, fire-pit, garden and a communal compost collection spot. Utilities are included in rent; water, gas, electric, internet. A wireless FIOSmesh network is available throughout the house. There is a washer and dryer on the 3rd floor.

PETS:

Must love dogs! We have a cat and a barky dog, Duncan, a 17 lb terrier mix who’s half guard dog, half cuddler. The cat, Meera, is a very friendly indoor/outdoor cat. We’re sure you’ll love them and they will love you as you get to know each other 🙂 At this time we cannot acmmodate other pets.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD:

Enjoy all the benefits of living on the best block in West Philly– we are situated 2 blocks away from Clark Park, close to many coffee shops, grocery stores, and restaurants. Our block is a happy blend of families and renters, so it stays pretty quiet except when we are throwing a block party, Porchfest or the like. There is a Farmer’s Market on Saturdays at the park and many events around the neighborhood. We are a block away from the 42 bus route, and 2 blocks from the 34 & 13 trolleys with transfer to the MFL line.

This Enchanted Hidden Hollow does not have the script written yet.

It is a STAGE with a set built on it, ready for someone to get to write their own script.

The stage is this:  2.5 acres in the country in the Wine Country Dundee Hills of Oregon.  But unlike many rural settings, it is just 1-2  miles from two charming small towns (Dundee and Newberg–with restaurants, live music, art, and culture) and just 22 miles from Portland, 52 miles to the Oregon Coast, 99 miles to Mt. Hood.

The land itself has a 4-level  Treehouse (we rented it out on Airbnb for $290/night for over a year).  It has a recently completely remodeled house and a newly renovated Studio space.

There’s a wild canyon with hillsides perfect for hobbit houses, and with a year-round creek with many trees for potentially more treehouses.

There’s a barn with a workshop used for woodworking.

There are multiple established garden beds, firepit areas for gatherings, and a unique farm stand for selling veggies, flowers, art, woodwork.

It has a conventional well, plus another hand dug well.  And it has a septic system–so it is already mostly off-grid.

We have hosted many small healing retreats here–so it’s got that magical, enchanted vibe.

So the stage is set.  And much of the “scenery” for the stage is built.  It’s ready for YOU to write the ‘PLAY’ you want to live.  Small community.  Small retreat host.  It’s up to you.

We are feeling called to the nomadic life for the next stage of our lives, like traveling gypsies or the FOOLs in the Tarot.  We have loved creating this space, working with all the portals that are naturally here, and opening up others that had been neglected.

One option would be for us to “release” (sell) this completely to someone or group who is wanting to carry out a vision for it.  And as difficult as it would be to walk away, if we left it in the right hands, we could feel right about doing this.

Another option would be to partner with another couple or group and continue playing a small role in caretaking of the place, allowing us to embark on our FOOL’s nomadic phase of life.  Perhaps a shared TRUST, or a lease.  We are open to options, so long as the place continues to be a magical portal cared for by wise, loving and visionary caretakers.
