So, this is a real good use for mansions and estates everywhere -- #CommunityHousing !
We all share a 15-acre Georgian mansion for the price of a two-bed house
Natalie Grice, 29 August 2026
"Dreams of living in a Georgian manor house with 15 acres of grounds would usually be associated with a big lottery win.
"But for the residents of Dol-llys Hall on the outskirts of Llanidloes, Powys, no windfall was necessary.
"The Grade II listed building is home to a collection of ordinary people who have chosen to live cooperatively - sharing responsibility for maintaining the home and its grounds and trying to live as sustainably as possible.
" 'You have got a ready-made village mentality where people just help each other out,' says Louise Robinson, one of the longest serving of 10 residents at the hall.
" 'There's six other flats going 'what can we do?' And that means a lot."
Louise Nicholson is a middle-aged white woman with shoulder length dark grey hair. She wears grey framed photo-reactive glasses, a light blue v-neck t-shirt with a lily pad white emblem on the front. She is smiling at the camera. Behind her is the main entrance to Dol-llys Hall. There are two dark wooden doors with arched fanlights above which open from the middle of a curved porch-type entrance. The building is painted yellowy-cream. There are arched windows to the left of the door visible. A mop handle and a piece of wooden furniture can be seen to the right of the doors."The hall, which has served as a school and a care home as well as a former stately home over the years, now holds seven flats within its walls and a number of #communal living areas and #SharedFacilities like washing machines and heating.
"Louise first came across Dol-llys after she was made redundant from her insurance job in London. She found herself spending more and more time away from the city, enjoying walking in the rural countryside, and realised she wanted to live there permanently.
" 'I'm a single person, so moving to a country village on your own is not that easy,' she says.
" 'Somebody mentioned [intentional] communities and said 'have you heard about them?''
"After investigating quite a few, she knew she did not want to live somewhere where she only had a bedroom and everything else was shared. And at Dol-llys, where she moved in early 2020, she found the perfect combination of community and privacy.
" 'We term ourselves as #cohousing, because we all have our separate flats,' she says, and that the set-up is not a commune.
" 'We share the grounds, we share the common rooms, we share responsibilities and decision-making, but we all have our front doors, which I think is important to everybody who chooses to live here.' "

Was ist #Cohousing , #ColaborativLiving und was sind #Clusterwohnungen? Wie grenzen sie sich zu #Couchsurfing, #Flatsharing und zur #Kurzzeitvermietung (#Flatsharing, #Airbnb) ab und dem #Campen lassen auf privaten Gründstücken (#1nitetent) oder gar #Wildcampen . Auch WGs oder #Coliving für Seniorinnen gibt es.

Feeling grateful for the marina community this weekend. A neighbour has been helping me alter my kitchen for more storage, another fixed my leaky radiator, and another cooked me meals for the week. I’m helping folks with tech and we’re sharing and reusing furniture/tools etc. We’ve got some of the elements of cohousing that appeal to me 😀

If you could live in any ideal solarpunk living arrangement, what would it be?
In this episode, @arielkroon talks to Hermina Joldersma, professor emerita at University of Calgary, about alternative housing arrangements, focusing on co-housing. They discuss not only Hermina’s experiences living in different types of housing, but the mindset necessary to co-housing and communal life, and the way that community often has to be intentionally created. Tune in now!
