Hi everyone,

sale in lovely Belfast, Maine.

Newly built Belfast Cohousing & Ecovillage has 36 clustered units on 42 acres, 
an on-site CSA vegetable farm, various flocks of chickens, and many family 
garden plots.  Our passivhaus-standard solar houses are super insulated and 
built by the nationally acclaimed design/build firm GO Logic.  One-third of our 
households are families with young kids (14 kids ranging in age from 5 months 
to 14 years).  It is located two miles outside the lively and vibrant Midcoast 
Maine town of Belfast - 25 minutes from Camden, an hour from Augusta and 
Bangor, 1.5 hours from Acadia National Park, two hours from Portland, and four

A few features of this beautifully customized and highly adaptable home:- one 
bedroom downstairs, three bedrooms upstairs- downstairs bathroom has a 
barrier-free shower

- exclusively zero- and low-VOC finishes throughout the house- custom 
maple/soapstone kitchen- tiled bathrooms- 4.3 kW rooftop solar array- currently 
we are using it as a single family house, but two entrances and a lower level 
bed/bath make it possible to easily adapt it to a two living-space arrangement 
(for ageing parents, renters, visitors, in-home business, etc.).
