Like us, you believe that the fall and winter seasons of life can be richly rewarding and creative and want to keep tabs on us as we build a community that
- encourages connection and mutual support,
- allows for privacy,
- affirms environmental sustainability,
- is nestled in an interesting, culturally creative, and lively small town,

A lot has been accomplished!
| |
|
 
We have purchased 19 acres within Shepherdstown and have grown to 15 household owners with more exploring becoming part of us every day. We have hired Kathryn McCamant of Cohousing Resources as our development consultant. We are well into a search for an architect who meets our unique specifications and we are on the verge of partnering with a developer and builder.
STAY TUNED FOR MORE!
