Our founding group of queer women is transitioning the ownership of our 30-acre homestead in central Minnesota. We are looking for aligned stewards to either take over the property completely or join us as co-owners to keep the intentional community going.
A tiny window into what to expect:
There's a certain look of relief we tend to see on people's faces when they visit. The main entrance path is surrounded by vibrant perennials that return every year. To the left, a stone walkway leads to thriving permaculture gardens; straight ahead are the barns, beehives, and pathways out to the open fields. Behind the farmhouse, a wooded trail leads to a mossy gathering space with a log-and-stone fire pit circle and a tree platform overlooking the land.
Property & Infrastructure Highlights:
Land: 30 acres featuring forested areas, a creek, a pond, permaculture gardens (hügelkultur), native plantings, established perennial flowers, fruit trees, and a ~1-acre dry-farmed plot.
Farmhouse: ~4,000 sq. ft. across 3 levels with 9 bedrooms. Features solid heating, updated systems, quiet internal layout, and good structural bones.
Outbuildings: Garage, woodshop barn, event barn, quonset barn for storage, a silo, honeybee hives, and a spayed farm cat.
Location & Climate: Peaceful setting under 10 minutes from town and a hospital. Zero flood/fire risk on 30-year maps. Strong local network, queer-friendly neighbors, and active community tool/food sharing.
Ownership & Transition Options: We are open to a few different arrangements depending on who reaches out:
Outright Purchase: An established group of 2+ people buys the property entirely ($500k–$550k, open to terms).
Gradual Buyout / Transition: A new group transitions in while remaining founding members gradually step back over an agreed timeline.
Join as a Co-Owning Resident: Individuals or small groups buy a share in the property (~$50k–$80k per share) to co-own and live on the homestead alongside remaining members.
