House Alive Homestead
Jacksonville, Oregon,
United States
 We are a family oriented homestead and we were looking for another family to share our 20 forested acres in the beautiful (and Sunny) Little Applegate Valley, a 15 minute drive from Jacksonville, 35 minutes from Ashland, Oregon. And... we are happy to say that we found them! The family that is joining us have two children ages 9 & 12
However, if you are still searching for community and want to come visit us, you are still welcome, at some point we might expand, but are not ready yet.
We are one of the leading natural building schools in the nation and teach workshops at our land in the warmer months. Besides that, we garden, manage the forest and homeschool (unschool) our kids (8 and 11 years old).
So, come visit us if you are passing through Southern Oregon.
