Features of Ravens’ Roost Cohousing’s land:
Ravens Roost is located on 6.4 acres of land, with beautiful native forest, community raised beds and a grassy fire lane. The grassy area in the fire lane catches rainwater and the swales on the north side of the land drain to a mossy, treed wetlands area.
Included in HOA-owned property is the original farmhouse, still occupied by the 98 year old man and his wife who settled here in 1948. They hold a life estate interest in the house which will transfer to the HOA once they are no longer in residence.
Ravens Roost is bordered on the south by Tract B, a 2.5 acre parcel that is owned by a group of Ravens Roost residents, and includes beautiful native forest, bee hives, a large community garden, hoop house and an orchard. While not owned by the HOA, all Ravens are welcome there.
