Heartwood Cohousing is a rural cohousing community in Southwest Colorado, near Durango and Bayfield, made up of people of all ages and from all walks of life. Our population is typically 50-60 people — families with kids, singles, and couples spanning a wide range of ages and life stages. Each home is individually owned, and we have an HOA like any neighborhood, but what unites us is a shared vision to build strong community connections and live in close relationship with the land.
Established in 2000 with 24 homes, we’re now building Phase 2, consisting of 14 new homes that will be move-in ready starting in the fall of 2026. We’re welcoming new Phase 2 members — check out our website at www.heartwoodcohousing.com for lots more information.
We are blessed to live where the sun shines over 300 days each year and the San Juan Mountains and red rock canyons of the Colorado Plateau are close enough for a day hike. We own and steward 360 acres of pine forest, meadows, and pastureland, including 67 irrigated acres for horses, llamas, and cattle, plus 7 miles of trails.
Heartwood has always been an amazing place for kids to grow up, and still is — lots of freedom and safety so kids can roam, play, and explore with their friends alongside a multigenerational community that welcomes families of every kind.
We each own our own home and yard and pursue our own careers and interests, while sharing this beautiful piece of land, a common house, greenhouses, workshop, gardens, raised beds, henhouse, exercise room, library, guest rooms, tennis/pickleball and basketball courts, barns, a yurt, hot tub, sledding hill, bonfire circle, and more. And most importantly, we share a vision to live in close community with one another — and with nature.
