Type of cohouse

Shared home

Common parts

[English speakers welcome, translation below] **Lovely housemates wanted for a modern cohousing with a large garden in Kessel-Lo (Leuven)** Life moves on, and our two housemates, a lovely young couple, recently bought their own home. My third housemate, on the other hand, feels the call to return to the vanlife existence. Although this entails major changes, I trust that the right people will feel called to come and live here—together with me. Perhaps that is you? The house itself, Casa Amor, features a large private garden without direct view and is situated in the middle of the forest. Peace and quiet are therefore completely guaranteed here. What? Conscious cohabitation in a small community. There is plenty of space (375 m², including a separate building in the garden that can be used for groups). Currently, our ages range between 29 and 45, but that is somewhat flexible. This cohousing is intended for working people who enjoy taking care of their living environment and want to actively contribute to a positive group atmosphere. This also entails sharing tasks, both inside the house and in the large garden. We usually get together once a week for a shared meal and/or to do something in the common areas. Other initiatives arise more spontaneously; for instance, we have already organized various concerts and a pizza night. Naturally, respect for each other's private space, work, and personal time is at least as important. It is likely to be a good match if it is important to you to interact mindfully with your fellow residents and if you can take responsibility for your own needs and desires. You are open to other perspectives and alignment with the group. If I may dream for a moment, it would also be fantastic if you have an affinity for consciousness work, meditation, dance, breathwork, or yoga and choose to live a more or less healthy lifestyle. Where? On a beautiful, quiet, and spacious property in the Kessel-Lo forest, a short bike, bus, or car ride from Leuven. Approximately a 20-minute bike ride to the station. Price? Rooms ranging from 23 to 27 m², between €625 and €750 per month for the largest. This excludes shared costs such as heating, electricity, internet, water, etc. This call is specifically aimed at people interested in renting a room for a minimum period of one year. The main building features four spacious bedrooms, two bathrooms, a guest room, and a separate toilet. Do you recognize yourself in the description above and do you already own a van or camper (preferably largely off-grid)? Then other options may also be available starting in October. ❤️ Do you feel a ‘yes’? Feel free to send a message or a voice/video message in which you tell me something about yourself (English or Dutch is both fine): What you expect from communal living and what you bring to the group. I will respond to people who show genuine interest. If there is an initial connection, we can schedule a phone call or visit to get to know each other better. ------------------------------------------------------------------- **Searching for housemates for a modern shared cohousing with a garden in Kessel-Lo, Leuven** As life continues to unfold, two of my housemates, a beautiful young couple, bought a place of their own. My other housemate feels the call to return to van life. While this feels like a big shift, I am trusting that the right people will feel the call to come and live here. Maybe that is you? Our house, Casa Amor, has a large private garden and is located in the middle of a forest. So peace and quiet are guaranteed. What? Intentional, longer-term co-living in a small community. There is ample space (375 m2, including our separate building for groups in the garden).
There is a deliberate community aspect to this co-housing. It is really for those of you who enjoy taking care of your physical environment and have the energy to actively make a positive contribution to the group atmosphere. This includes sharing tasks in both the house and the large garden.
We usually come together once a week for shared dinners and/or to do some work in the common areas. Other initiatives may arise spontaneously, we've for example had some concerts and a pizza night at the house. Of course, respect for each other's private time and space is equally important.
We will probably be a good match if you value self awareness and take responsibility to communicate your needs and desires, whilst staying open to other perspectives. Bonus points if you are open to circle/shadow work, meditation, yoga, dance, breathwork, singing,... Currently, our ages range between 29 and 45, but this is somewhat flexible.
