What are your goals?<\/h5>

Think about the kind of place you hope to create, the kinds of things you hope to do here. Do you want to be close to the action? Set farther off in the woods? The best possible solar exposure? Do you need live\/work space? A studio space?<\/p><\/div> <\/div>

Imagine a house.<\/h5>

We encourage people to think about how to build small, to keep their footprint small. Does this work for you?\n

\nReview the High Cove design guidelines. The design guidelines are relatively minimal, but important. Mostly they have to do with building \u201cgreen.\u201d\n

Ask yourself:  am I really prepared to go through the long process of designing and building a house?<\/p><\/div><\/div>

Spend time here.<\/h5>

We encourage new residents to spend as much time here as they can\u2013 before and during the process of building their home.  We are not currently offering short term accommodations, but there are many available through programs such as AirBnb  or VRBO.  Also, we recommend the Celo Inn nearby.<\/p>Top of page<\/a><\/div> <\/div><\/div> <\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
