From www.ic.org/directory/eucalyptus-hills/:
Seeking new members to join our community "Rifugio." We are independent roommates with a passion for the environment, sustainability, and healthy living. We are screening new possible candidates to join us starting in October.*Single rooms available starting at $645
* shared room (two people) starting at $400
* rooms with a bathroom starting at $ 795 (one person) or $ 855 (two people) per month.
PLUS one month deposit (negotiable), and your share of utilities, usually running $50-100 each person, depending on use and how many people are home.
In full capacity, the household can have 6-8 people, sharing a large 5 bedroom-3 bath home on over one acre (we also have a compostable bathroom and lots of space for hammocks and tents).
Absolutely must be:
* non-smokers
* no drugs or alcohol
* clean and tidy
* avoiding chemicals as much as possible for household and personal use- (7th Generation, Dr. Bronner, and similar environmentally products are used instead)
* willing to clean the house one hour a week and garden one hour a week. We aim to do this together during week-ends so that it's more fun and not a burden to anybody. You can opt out of your 2 hours community help by paying an extra $20/week or $80/month

The house is usually very quiet, allowing everybody to have their personal space and privacy.
We have independent lives, but want to enjoy occasional times together playing music or a game, watching a movie, gardening, and meeting different cultures, couchsurfers, workawayers, and people from all over the world.
We are also busy professionals and are out and about quite a bit.
If you think you may like this kind of living, please contact us by email with one short paragraph describing your interest, or call Claudia at show contact info
