Grass Valley Senior Cohousing
This summer, construction begins on a special cohousing community in the historic gold rush country of the Sierra foothills. Wolf Creek Lodge, designed by green award winning architect Charles Durrett, will be home to a community of active adults who value a balance of independent and community living. At this time, Wolf Creek Lodge is open to new members, and move-in is scheduled for the fall of 2009. A neighboring intergenerational cohousing community, Wolf Creek Commons, will be built on adjoining property at a later date (for more info, visit www.wolfcreekcommons.net).
The wooded site enjoys a hillside that drops away from the road, ending at scenic Wolf Creek, which runs along the bottom of the property. Of the 7.9 acres total, one third will be preserved as natural habitat. With abundant shopping near by, members can walk to grocery stores, banks, restaurants, and more. Historic Grass Valley is just a short walk or bike ride away.
Wolf Creek Lodge will have underground parking and elevator access from the parking garage to the three floors above. These homes are envisioned for adults mostly age 50 and older and are modeled after concepts in local architect Charles Durrett’s new book, Senior Cohousing.
Learn how cohousing can increase the quality of your life, while reducing the size of your carbon footprint. Katie McCamant and Chuck Durrett are giving a slideshow presentation to discuss the cohousing revolution. Their firm, McCamant & Durrett Architects, are two-time 2008 EnergyValue Award winners from the National Association of Home Builders. You will see how cohousing supports a more sustainable lifestle. This is an opportunity to get the information to see if it is right for you, and there will be plenty of time to ask your questions of these innovative cohousing pioneers.
