Adesa Community
Carbondale, Colorado,
United States
 Adesa Community is a multi-generational community with a concentration on sustainable living for families, singles, and elders. We are looking for members and investors to join our rapidly growing group to purchase a 105-acre guest ranch in New Castle, Colorado. With aging-in-place care provided by a service that lives within the community and surrounded by organic farming, Adesa is "where nurture and nature abound." It is located near The Hot Springs Pool, Glenwood Springs, Colorado. For more information, see the website or contact Nancy at 970-319-6322.
