Eno Commons possibly falls under this category.  What I about to say  
is slightly before my involvement but I believe I have the broad brush  
of events correct.  There was a fledging cohousing group in Durham in  
the early 90s.  Progress was slow so Sherri Zann Rosenthal become the  
developer.  She bought the land and individuals brought lots from her.  
 After the Common House was complete, control of HOA transferred from  
her to the group.  Although there was some bumps, Eno Commons became a  
reality.

Footpath. http://www.footpath.us | a fledging community developing on  
the land east of Eno Commons, is using a similar model.
