Silver Sun Womyn's Community

Asheville, North Carolina, 28805,

United States

A 10 acre+ diverse community of womyn and lesbians in Western North Carolina living both independently and, when necessary, by consensus rule in a matriarchal tribal-like retreat-style setting. Each individual will be financially responsible for herself and live in individually owned cottage/yurt with 50-year (end of life) land-leases from the trust of which all will direct. Land will contain Common House for group and shared functions. Modern but rustic (not primitive), Eco-friendly and as much as is practical and possible self-sustaining and off-the-grid. Food producing gardens, green house and chickens.
