See our Craigslist ad, with lots of pictures: http://hudsonvalley.craigslist.org/roo/3904853449.html

We have one room available for rent in our beautiful shared home in New Paltz for a year-long lease starting August 15th. This 2-acre property has a huge backyard, a veggie garden and flower garden, and a screened in porch overlooking the yard. Our 8 chickens roam around the yard freely. The bedroom has large west and north facing windows and a big double closet space. The kitchen and bathrooms are shared with the housemates.

We are looking for someone to share the house with us who is kind, respectful, interested in participating in the household community, and is eager to contribute time and energy several times per week to help maintain a clean and welcoming home.

To give you an idea of us: In our household we have musicians, activists, a comedian/actor, teachers, gardeners, dancers, a 14-month-old baby, 3 cats, employees of non-profits, a mature college student, a band tour manager. . . We have occasional parties with dinner, music, friends. The house is large, with plenty of space and opportunity for both peace & quiet as well as social time.


The room is $500 per month, which includes lawn care and snow plowing. We share the cost of electricity, garbage, internet, propane and heat (the house is VERY efficient, the bills are very manageable!). One month's security deposit will be due upon lease signing.

Amenities include:
- house is "passive solar" - lots of south facing windows = lots of natural light and greater heat retention
- on-site washer and dryer
- large kitchen with two separate sinks, double-oven, huge separate pantry for food storage
- multiple bathrooms and showers
- common spaces include cheerful, sunlit living room/dining room, library, study, screened-in porch with propane grill

- fire pit
- back yard access to rail trail
- superb organic farm (Taliaferro's) down the street
- free-range chickens and their eggs
- three friendly indoor/outdoor cats
- fun, considerate housemates
