| Zephyr Valley Community Cooperative is a rural cohousing community with 12 members on 500 acres of stunningly beautiful land in the hill country of southeast Minnesota. Decisions about the land and community are made by consensus, all other decisions are individual ones.
The land, bought by the Coop in 1994, has hundreds of acres of restored wetlands, pastures, woodland, bluff lands, high grass meadows, ponds, creeks and a trout stream. It's a great place for children to grow up with an intimate knowledge of the natural world.
50 acres of land are farmed organically. Six of these acres are available for a vegetable farmer and include, water, electricity & a 60' * 16' greenhouse.
There are five individual homes, one under construction which is available for sale, sites for six more homes, a common house, two barns, and several outbuildings. Occasionally an existing home becomes available for resale to new members or rental to prospective members. Currently one house is vacant & available for rent.
We have a community center (for community meals, parties, meetings, guests, laundry, etc.) as well as a spring-fed swimming pond, a soccer/baseball field, trails for walking and skiing, and barns for animals and storage.
Winona, Rushford, and La Crosse are all within a 30-minute drive, bringing you five college campuses, an arts community, and a family-friendly environment.
This is a wonderful place to live! If you’re interested in small-scale, organic farming or just in living in a rural cohousing community, send us an email. | Community location is placed at the center of the zip/postal code, city/state, or city/country (not based on street addresses) |
