Touchstone Cohousing is the third of the Little Lake Cohousing communities located in Scio Township on Little Lake Road.
As of June 13, 2005, Touchstone has four buildings under construction and more on the way!
We are a group of families and single persons (19 families as of June 2005) working to create a 46-unit cohousing neighborhood. We are seeking new members who wish to be a part of the blend of community and privacy that is unique to cohousing: shared resources and community meals; creation and participatory management of our neighborhood; and private condominium home ownership.
Our planned neighborhood, located on six acres of meadows with adjoining woods and wetlands will be a mixed-income intergenerational village. A large common building, or Common House, will offer a large kitchen and dining room for optional shared meals, space for social activities and childrens play space, and a guest room for overnight guests of the residents. It will feature a pedestrian-oriented design and environmentally sensitive construction.
