Wolf Creek Lodge - Cohousing for Active Adults

A special active adult cohousing neighborhood is being built in the gold country of the Sierra foothills in Grass Valley, California. The wooded site is on a hill bordered at the bottom by free flowing Wolf Creek. It is walkable to shopping, grocery stores and restaurants. It is also a short walk or bike ride to historic downtown Grass Valley. Of the 7.9 acres total, one-third will be preserved as natural habitat.

Our lodge will be adult oriented. We are a group of women and men who share a common vision of age-ing in place with grace and dignity and who value living in community. Some of us are retired and some still working. We include attorneys, professors, teachers, journalists, engineers, medical/dental professionals, singers, world travelers, bicyclists, kayakers, and more. Our members now range in age from their early fifties to eighties, and we have no age restrictions. We refer those with children to Wolf Creek Commons, the child-centered, intergenerational cohousing community that will share our site. (It is scheduled for construction at a later date.)

Wolf Creek Lodge will enjoy the convenience of both above and underground parking and elevator access. Approximately 30 condominiums will be available. Members will enjoy a large, state-of-the-art kitchen and dining area for optional community meals, laundry and activity space, a beverage/coffee bar, and an inviting sitting area in the the 4,000 foot Common House. Outside amenities will include a hot tub, sports area, a large terrace with barbeque and fire pit, and inviting, environmentally appropriate landscaping.

The Lodge will be self-managed by the entire group and decisions will be made by consensus.

Environmental sustainability will be a central value taking into consideration everything from energy efficient heating and water systems to solar orientation and the use of sustainable, non-toxic building materials.

Construction began in October, 2010. Our friendly and welcoming community is still growing, and six units remain available for purchase.
