Pinnacle Project at Loch Lyme Lodge

In 2006 a group of friends organized the Pinnacle Project to build intergenerational (not seniors-only), sustainable (a lighter footprint on the land), mixed-income homes, using clustered neighborhood design (cohousing). We still plan to build those homes, perhaps even with an assisted living component, but Lyme’s zoning does not, at least yet, support this type of home building.

Our silver lining to this very long delay was finding the community that is Loch Lyme Lodge. Operating the Lodge has allowed us to support and grow the existing Loch Lyme Lodge community as we continue to work toward building cohousing here.

Although we can’t yet live here yet, Loch Lyme Lodge shareholders enjoy spending time in this beautiful place, whether walking or skiing the Carriage Trail, staying in a cabin, gardening (fruit trees, berries, flowers, vegetables), kayaking and swimming, or just reading in the shade. We enjoy occasional meals together, sometimes as potlucks and sometimes prepared by the Lodge Chef. You can find us enjoying ice cream from the kitchen window and BYOB drinks while listening to or making music of a summer evening with family, friends, and Lodge guests.

We invite you to read the Spirit behind Pinnacle Project and our Vision Statement which express our shared goals. If you think you might be interested in becoming a member, please get in touch.
