Garnet Villages LLC
BIO
Garnet Villages provides a platform for creativity, connection, and collaboration through diverse and affordable cooperative co-living homes, creating vibrant artistic community for rural creatives.
Our flagship Farmington, Maine location.
One of many features original to the 1820s construction of the home is stained glass windows, shown here. The original hardwood floors, trimmings, doors, curved walls, pianos, windows, and many more remain intact and restored.
This is an example of one of the recently rennovated rooms in our Farmington home.
Many of the rooms feature unique, colorful, authentic vintage wallpaper.
During the summer you can often find our villagers enjoying a bonfire in the backyard down by Beaver Brook.
This is what our downstairs common space looked like prior to renovation. It sure has come a long way!
Offerings

Nestled in the beautiful foothills of rural western Maine, lies the flagship campus of Garnet Villages. The property boasts a large, 14 bedroom 4,500+ sq ft 1820s Victorian home. We are currently renovating this gorgeous house, merging together many of the original historic features and updated, sleek, and modern amenities. Eight of our villagers call this residence home, with more rooms available in the near future.

At the core of Garnet Village’s mission lies fostering authentic community. We are currently in the process of offering several community outreach programs, some of which include: Garnet Artist retreats, residencies, and scholarships, The Village Nature Collective, a charitable arm and community aid program, and studio spaces. All of these programs are meant to bring access to creative development opportunities to our local community, especially for those with limited resources available to them.
