Community

Our community appreciates & respects nature, embraces connection and sustainability, and values diversity including individuals of all ages, professions, family structures, and ethnic, cultural, and spiritual backgrounds.

What is the plan?

We are developing a Cohousing community of 24-48 home units on the western side of Denver, Colorado (we are looking at land in Golden and Arvada currently).

We intend to create amazing shared areas starting with an incredible manor-house-style common house with a great kitchen and both indoor and outdoor dining areas where meals and other activities are shared several times a week. Other shared facilities will depend on the founding members' final vision and our budget but may include a laundry room, gym/yoga studio, theater, teen lounge/game room, library, craft room, shared workspace, guest rooms, swimming pool, hot tub, parking garages, gardens, greenhouse, playgrounds, dog run & dog wash, coffee bar, wine cellar, maker space, EV charging stations, sacred space, bee hives, wellness center, preschool, elder living, limited commercial space and more! The only limits are our budget and our imaginations!

Home Costs: Based on our current pro forma home costs are estimated as follows:

Apartments: $450-$550K (subsidized rates $350-$400K)

Duplexes, Flats and Single Family Homes: $600-975K

All prices include not only your personal living space with private kitchen and baths but also a prorated share of the community spaces and land.

Total Project Cost: $18-40M depending on the final cost of the land, the number of homes and other factors including shared facilities. Depending on the land we purchase (and our families' timeline) the community may be built in two phases of 14-24 homes.

What Do We Need?

Right now we are looking for:

1. Explorers or folks who are interested in learning more and being involved in the early stages of development. Cost to be an Explorer is $150/family

2. A founders group who want to co-create this vision together. Become an Explorer first, then as the project moves forward $5,000 initial investment.

3. Investors who want to see the community happen and want to make a return on their investment but don’t necessarily want to necessarily live in the community

4. Partners such as contractors, solar companies, etc. who want to participate in making this vision come true

What Is The Cost?

1. Explorer Level: $150/family

2. Founder Level: $5000*/family

3. Investor Level: Contact us

4. Partner Level: Contact us

*Initial investment - will be applied towards the final cost of your home.
