What we do

We are a group of friends and family, mostly in our 20’s and 30’s from Southern Vermont who are part of a small community focused on sustainably stewarding a beautiful piece of land. We are nature educators, carpenters, builders, writers, artists, musicians, gardeners, and farmers, and are currently in the process of creating a vibrant village, centered around cows, community gardens, nature education, healing and art.

We currently have a house available for rent in the center of our community, and would love to find a family (or two together) to be part of what we are creating here. Here is what we have to offer:

Beautiful, large, sunny house available for rent in Guilford, Vermont. Perfect for a household of one or two families looking for peace and accessible nature. Located in a quiet corner of Guilford, this house is situated on 50 acres of gorgeous field and forest, complete with a pond ideal for paddling or swimming in the summer and skating in winter and slopes for sledding.
Located 15 minutes from downtown Brattleboro, 10 minutes from Marlboro’s Nordic ski trails, and under 40 minutes from Mount Snow.

The house has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms and a fully outfitted kitchen. Both the living room and dining room are light-filed with cathedral ceilings and there is a beautiful stone fireplace and a woodstove. The house comes semi-furnished.

This is also a unique opportunity to participate in a small community focused on sustainably stewarding a beautiful piece of land. We are in the process of creating a vibrant village, centered around cows, community gardens, nature education, healing and art.

Around 6-8 people would be living in neighboring houses and yurts on the land with you. You would have total privacy and freedom within your home and backyard, your own parking, and access to the shared forest, field, pond, and garden spaces. We have plenty of space for gardens for everyone who lives here. We currently have chickens and will be expanding to other livestock in the spring, so there is the option to be part of this, or bring your own animals. We are currently building a barn for cows and a pottery studio. 

This could be a beautiful place for your family to call home for a few years or an opportunity to become part of a community—your level of privacy or involvement is fully up to you!

$4900 per month. This is a 12 month lease available starting in May. 2,300 sq ft 4 bedrooms 3 Bathrooms Snow removal included Electricity included Internet and heat (oil and wood) not included

2 small bedroom cabins available in Aptos Beloved Community - open to work trade

Aptos Beloved Community is an emerging multicultural ecovillage in the early stages of formation. Our guiding mission is to co-create a flourishing world for all as a friendly living laboratory in Earth Reverence, Personal Responsibility, Cultural Healing, Creative Expression, and Revolutionary Love. Currently there are 12 adults, two awesomely autistic young adults, three sweet dogs, and 20 laying hens enjoying 7 acres of land together. We range in age from 25-75 and bring our share of diversity: straight, queer and asexual; cis gendered, transgender, non-binary and gender fluid; European American, Mexican American, Korean and Korean American; born into families with and without money. Among us are entrepreneurs, trauma healing counselors, immigrants, activists, students of Chinese medicine and psychology, contractors, poets, writers, avid hikers and backpackers, dance and yoga teachers, caregivers, nonprofit fundraisers, and gardening enthusiasts. We are monogamous and polyamorous, neurotypical and neurodivergent, vegan and omnivorous. We practice diverse spiritual and religious traditions. We share the land with many wild creatures – coyote, deer, owls, hawks – and are surrounded by oaks and redwoods. We’re located just off Soquel Drive by Cabrillo College, minutes from New Brighton State Beach and the Forest of Nisene Marks in Santa Cruz County. What We’re Building We have an outdoor classroom for small-scale events, several permaculture-based food forest orchards and gardens, an infrared sauna, cold plunge, hot tub, and outdoor bathtub overlooking our beautiful meadow. We’re actively working on rainwater catchment systems, humanure composting, water retention landscaping, oak woodland restoration, greywater systems, and dreaming of a cob sauna. Stewarding our ecovillage from vision to reality is a primary focus here. We’re looking for folks who are excited about this in theory AND in real-life practice. Experience and ski
