$1,475 Join Us in our Vegan Home (santa cruz)

If you get excited about the idea of living in community with others in a vegan, spiritually-rich, environmentally-conscious, alcohol and drug-free home, we would love to connect with you! We are open to individuals, couples, or a family with a child. The house is spacious and full of light. Recent environmental upgrades include reclaimed hardwood floors, induction cooktop, heat pump space and water heating, a highly reflective metal roof, solar panels, rainwater catchment systems and electrification of the entire house, The lot is sunny with lots of room for growing things. We have been converting most of the yard to a verdant, organic food forest, watered by grey and rainwater. There are a hot tub and outdoor shower in the garden. The current vacancy is a master suite with private bathroom. The bedroom has reclaimed hardwood floors, an ample closet, and a large window. Other community members are a married couple and a single man. We are in our 60s and 70s. Since we share our home with others, we look for people whose lifestyles and values are compatible with ours. For example, we value wise use of resources, good communication, respectful interactions, veganism, and work that contributes to the common good. We love to connect with those who share our home. We enjoy delicious shared organic whole food plant-based meals together often. Rent for the shared use of the home and yard plus sole use of the master suite is $1475/month, including utilities. All of the community members also share in the cost of food. We currently cannot offer much storage space, though after our garage reorganization there will be some room in the garage. Move-in costs are first month’s rent plus a $1000 security deposit.
