PRIVACY AND COMMUNITY - THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS!
 
CoHousing offers a nice balance of Community & Privacy:

        -       Private homes gathered around Commons for convenience, 
                economy, safety, improved land use, and sense of community.

        -       CommonHouse with shared facilities as agreed upon by the 
                residents: can include meals, food co-op, laundry, child 
                care, recycling, music, recreation, guest rooms, storage, 
                offices, library, sauna, greenhouse, gardens, craft and 
                repair shops, etc.

        -       Parking on the side; the area around the houses remains free 
                of cars and pavement.

        -       Neighbors committed to mutual respect, assistance, sharing of
                resources, and participatory management of the Commons.

        -       No ideology other than a practical, satisfying, and 
                ecologically sound home environment.

        -       Privacy and autonomy respected as fundamental to individual 
                and family life.

And...          the Luxury of your own boat dock and sailing access to the 
                world!

A group of individuals is working together to create a small CoHousing 
community on a peaceful waterfront site close to the center of the thriving, 
historic Village of Saugerties, NY.  The property has many lovely features, 
including 1/4 mile frontage on the Esopus Creek near where it joins the 
Hudson River, waterfall over Barclay's Dam, boathouse, docks, organic 
gardens, and picnic areas.  All this, plus the substantial amenities afforded
by sharing and cooperating with neighbors.

This is not a commercial venture. No profit is involved.  We welcome 
individuals and families of all ages, races, abilities, interests and skills.
Our development work is nearing completion, and we will start construction 
upon completion of our membership.
