For Sale

Unit #1 in Building 3 — 3-bedroom, 1-bath end unit

The open living and dining area has warm hardwood floors and flows into a kitchen with solid wood cabinets and granite counters. The dining room windows look straight into a native vine maple — a wall of green from spring through fall. There’s good storage in the unit, plus an extra storage space in the community storage building. A ductless mini-split provides efficient heating and air conditioning, and the plumbing was fully replaced in 2026.

The primary bedroom has a full-width closet behind a sliding barn door; the second bedroom’s closet sits behind a pair of French doors. The third bedroom has no closet, which makes it a flexible room — guest room, office, or playroom.

Step out the sliding glass door onto your own covered patio, which opens onto the community grounds: organic gardens, personal garden plots, greenhouses, a grape arbor, a bamboo grove, native plantings throughout, and trees everywhere — including a truly massive old black walnut. The orchard alone is a reason to live here — to name a few: apples, pears, plums, figs, mulberries, chestnuts, walnuts, grapes, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries, in several varieties each. A 75,000-gallon rainwater catchment system keeps it all watered through the summer. Kids have a playhouse, sandbox, small soccer field, a favorite climbing tree, and a parking loop where bikes can circle but cars can’t; adults have a workshop, garden shed, fire pit, quiet space and big community porches.

The common hall is the heart of the village: a commercial kitchen any resident can use, a kids’ play area, pool table and ping pong, and a soapstone stove that burns every winter evening. Residents can reserve it for events for almost nothing. The historic farmhouse has guest rooms owners can book for visiting family (about 30 nights a year). Shared laundry rooms (three washers and dryers) come with indoor drying racks and outdoor clotheslines, and there’s a craft room and a trade room where things you no longer need find a new home next door. Potlucks, community meals, work parties, and acres of safe space for kids to roam make this a rare chance to own a home and a neighborhood at the same time.

Built in 1973 and fully remodeled in 2008–09 for energy efficiency and healthy indoor air — metal roof, HardiePlank siding, and standard community-built finishes throughout. Nothing to update, nothing deferred. The $522 monthly HOA covers water, sewer, and garbage, plus the roof, siding, exterior paint, and all structural maintenance — and it’s what pays for the grounds, the common hall, and everything else described above. And it’s close in: Cully’s cafés and parks are a short walk or bike ride away, the rest of Portland’s food, music, and neighborhoods are minutes beyond that, and the commute downtown or to the airport is easy by car, bus, or bike

• 3.7-acre grounds with organic gardens, personal plots, greenhouses, native plantings, and mature trees (huge black walnut)

• Orchard: apples, pears, plums, figs, mulberries, chestnuts, walnuts, grapes, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries

• 75,000-gallon rainwater catchment feeds the gardens year-round

On cohousing

If you are unfamiliar with cohousing, you can find introductory info here (http://www.cohousing.org/what_is_cohousing). 

Sale and Rental Process

When homes are available for sale or rent, they are first offered to current residents or owners. Then they are usually publicized to our email notification list and posted on our website. Prospective buyers or renters contact the homeowners or their agents directly to view the unit and arrange to make an offer or apply to rent.  

Note to realtors:

CEV is a self-managed community that offers many amenities as well as significant responsibilities for each household. Being a part of cohousing means recognizing the time, attention, and flexibility needed to enjoy the benefits and fulfill the obligations of community life. Refer your prospect to columbiaecovillage.org for more information about how we self-manage. If your potential buyers would like to get to know the community before they make an offer, contact us for a tour of the common spaces and an explanation of how cohousing is different from a regular condominium.
