Cohousing California

Your home in community was waiting for you! The owner of this home, an original community member, wanted to switch units and so was offering his original home for sale.

Spacious home in award-winning, eco-conscious, energy award winning, Victorian-inspired Nevada City Cohousing for sale! This energy-efficient home is in a quiet, private corner of this village, nestled in the pines, with the best summer shade. It features passive solar orientation, solar electricity ($3/month PG&E bill), beautiful bamboo floors throughout the house, and a spacious covered wrap-around porch.

Community homes are clustered within 11 acres of lush forest setting. Extensive community center includes spacious commercial grade kitchen, multi-purpose dining room, living room, teen room, kid's play room, music room, laundry, and two guest rooms for friends and family. Visit with neighbors and friends on our sunny terrace outside the common house that overlooks our kitchen herb garden and large solar-heated swimming pool. Homes built on 5 acres with adjacent 6-acre woods.

Prime location 5 minutes walk to historic downtown Nevada City with its charming shops, restaurants, live entertainment and seasonal events. Nevada City has been rated among America's best small towns, and is the intellectual, cultural, spiritual, environmental and alternative mecca of the Sierra Nevada mountains. Fabulous year-round sunny climate with mild winters and long growing season, but plenty of snow 20 minutes drive up the road, with magnificent Donner Pass, Lake Tahoe and other high alpine wilderness destinations close enough for convenient half-day hiking, kayaking and ski trips.  Everybody's favorite wild and scenic Yuba River even nearer. Choice of innovative, award-winning public schools.
