Hi folks,

Sharing this outreach from a dear friend currently living and teaching in Amherst:

Nature and community-minded couple, early childhood teacher and conservationist, looking to purchase home in Montague or surrounding area. Looking for a small or medium-sized house on a few acres with small-scale homesteading potential. But also open to a range of possibilities. Sunny location, or ability to create enough sun for a garden, and access to woods is important to us. We look forward to hearing from you if you know of anything coming up for sale in your community. Text or call Jean at 413-265-3136.
 

We love Montague Center and the surrounding landscape and would love to set down permanent roots with our family. Looking for a minimum 5+ acre home to buy on a quiet street. Any offers or leads that haven't already been posted on Zillow would be greatly appreciated.
 

I am looking for a 1 or 2 bedroom apartment or house in/near Montague Center for rent starting July, Aug or September, 2018. I am an older professional seeking a quiet and comfortable place to live. Would love it to be energy efficient and have wood floors and garden space, but not essential.
 

Looking for a rental for a friend of mine.

At least one bedroom on the first floor (or a room that could serve as a bedroom), full bath on 1st floor, and preferably laundry on 1st floor. Need 3 bedrooms total and at least 1.5 bath or 1.75 bath. Garage optional. Not on busy road.
 

My wife and I are Montague Center residents looking for a first floor rental for my mother who wishes to join us & grandchildren & great grandchildren in this area. Ready to sign one year lease on an attractive, comfortable, well maintained situation. 2 bedroom or 1 bedroom with extra space, some open areas, reasonable rent and utilities. Contact us with details/questions.
 

My partner and I are looking for a house or apartment to rent for September 1. I would prefer to stay in or near Montague Center, but would also be open to the right place some distance south of here, say in Leverett, Sunderland, or even Amherst. (Not wanting to move much north of the Montague Center/Lake Pleasant area.) We are looking for a space with 2+ bedrooms, an opportunity to garden, and an openness to a dog.

I am 28 and work as a mentor in kids' nature programs. I am going back to school at Hampshire College this fall to study ecology and storytelling. My partner is 33 and sort of a jack of all trades. He currently works for UMass dining services but is trying to get back into tech/computer work. We are both passionate about gardening, permaculture and the outdoors in general. We live a quiet, laid-back lifestyle, and cherish community connections. We both currently live in Montague Center, but separately, and are looking to move in together. (We are in a long-term relationship and have lived together in the past.) We can provide good references if you would like.

Please contact me if you have a space for rent, or know of anything that might be a good fit. Thank you!

Hey folks! My name is Vanessa, and I'll be moving to the area this summer.

I'm on the lookout for a small apartment or house share for me and my 5-year-old son. I'd like to be in Turners or Gill.

I'm looking to move July 1 (4th of July weekend), but am somewhat flexible.

I currently live in RI, but can easily come out to meet folks and look at places.

Please contact me via PM here, or text/call 401-263-3599. Thanks!
 

Hi folks, mark here. My girlfriend and I are selling our house and hope to move to Montague center or thereabouts this November. We can afford about 1000 a month, give or take depending on utilities, we have one chill adult neutered indoor cat, and...I guess that's about it. I work full time in amherst, steph is an artist working from home. Looking for something not too small, maybe around 700sf would be about right, bigger ok. Already checking Craigslist, thought I'd give this a try too. Thanks so much and have a good one!

My husband and I are looking for a small house/cottage or 2 br apt/duplex to rent max $1150.

We have an awesome 1 year old daughter and two mediums sized dogs- a 6 yr old lab and a 7 yr old Australian shepherd. Dogs are up to date on vacs., spayed and currently licensed; they have never destroyed property, but we would pay an extra pet deposit alongside the security if that would ease anyone's mind. In our day dreams, we hope to find a lead compliant home with a private yard or located in a rural setting with access to hiking trails. We are quiet and respectful folks with a mind set more of home owners than renters.

We work in Montague and want to stay within a 20 min. drive, so anywhere in the surrounding towns. Gill, Erving, Colrain, Leyden, Leverett, Greenfield, Bernardston, Northfield. We have rented in Colrain and Leyden before and know how to use a wood stove- very experienced with hill town winters. Used to doing our own lawn care and snow removal.

We can provide excellent rental, vet/pet, personal and work references.
Please let me, Sarah, know if you have a potential rental. Thank you for your time.
