our vision

In the last ten years our community has experienced a significant population decrease due to a lack of affordable housing options for long term residents. A vibrant town needs people to thrive. Our local eco-system needs dedicated stewards who live here year-round.

Pine Gulch Commons cannot solve the housing crises on its own, but it does provide a model of co-housing that offers five units of housing at below market rate, plus multiple units of affordable long and short term rentals.

Additionally, there has been a decline in educational opportunities for young adults interested in learning restoration ecology and permaculture design through hands-on experience. Our Marin Re-wilding Academy addresses that need by offering short term stays to small cohorts of students who work with us as we prototype regenerative systems for water, waste, agriculture and housing.

Land Equity Investment opportunities
Pine Gulch Commons

Tenancy-in-Common (TIC) ownership is the foundational structure of Pine Gulch Commons. TIC owners hold direct title to the land and share responsibility for financing, stewardship, and long-term decision-making.

Supporting the project through TIC ownership means:

Holding deeded ownership in agricultural land

Sharing responsibility for mortgage, infrastructure, and long-term care
Participating in governance and collective decision-making
Accepting that ownership does not guarantee residential occupancy
Committing to stewardship over speculation

TIC ownership is not a passive investment. It is a form of place-based commitment that aligns financial responsibility with care for land, community, and future generations.
