CVC · Charlotte, Vermont

Do you seek community?

As a community, we are dedicated to knowing each other in a meaningful way. We help each other with childcare, meals, and all sorts of projects. Our energy-efficient homes are clustered around a central green, enabling little ones to enjoy safe independence and allowing all neighbors to enjoy spontaneous and meaningful social interaction.

Where we are

Our land lies in the charming rural village of Charlotte, Vermont. We are 14 miles from the vibrant city of Burlington, which has a lively downtown pedestrian mall, several small colleges, the University of Vermont, a regional teaching hospital, and an international airport. Gorgeous Lake Champlain is just four miles away.

Our land

Our land consists of 125 acres of rolling farmland, wetlands, meadows, brooks, woods, hiking paths, and ponds. Some 115 acres are preserved forever for wildlife corridors and farming. Surrounded by distant views of Buck Mountain, Mt Philo, and a glimpse of the Adirondack peaks, we are a rural, pedestrian-centered community.

Our homes

We privately own our own modest, energy efficient homes, which are nestled around an extensive central green. We share the trails, organic community garden, and yurt. We enjoy monthly potluck dinners, work together on keeping our community beautiful, and have lots of fun.

Living sustainably

We are committed to living in a thoughtful way that promotes environmental sustainability and healthy community relationships. More than 50% of our homes have some form of solar energy. While most of us own cars, we carpool often and park on the periphery of our neighborhood, making it safe for little ones and pedestrian-centric.
