Cerro Gordo Community

Cottage Grove, Oregon,

United States

We are an intentional community going through a major transition. We're not really set up to take visitors or temporary people at this point, although we do have some houses/duplexes open for rental, and possibly some for sale.

Our houses are clustered into two neighborhoods, surrounded by shared forests and meadows, with many seasonal streams. We were founded on ecological values, including organic land care & gardening. We practice sustainable forestry on 1100+ acres. We have shared water and septic systems, and share maintenance of the roads.

If you have contacted us and not received a response, please feel free to contact us again, as we have lost access to all messages and contact info prior to mid-March 2013. Thanks!

Status: In transition; re-thinking some things.
