This cottage is the upper apartment in a two-unit home; the lower apartment is separately occupied. Both units share the same house structure, so clear, thoughtful communication and consideration between neighbors is essential.
We interview prospective renters to help ensure a good match for everyone and keep the living environment harmonious.
~ About Our Homestead
Our family stewards a 5-acre permaculture property with extensive gardens and an orchard, and we raise a milk cow, chickens, and geese. There is an additional apartment in a detached shop occupied by our farmer.
This is a country living environment with everyday rhythms of farm life animals, garden projects, and seasonal work alongside quiet pockets for rest and privacy. Shared areas are used respectfully, and we value neighbors who appreciate land, food, and community.
~ Who We're Looking For
We're seeking friendly, responsible tenants who:
Enjoy country living and being a bit outside town
Value eating organic and local food
Appreciate like-minded neighbors and good communication
Are generally tidy and respectful with shared spaces and sound
Ideal for someone who resonates with homestead life, permaculture, and a wellness-oriented lifestyle rather than a typical apartment complex setting.
