Cabin is building a distributed city of beautiful neighborhoods for nature-loving creators and remote workers. We are building 10x cheaper and better living environments for people to colive together, conserve nature, and create new things.
Doing so has allowed us to reimagine how housing works. We now have five different paths for living in the at Neighborhood Zero - the first neighborhood in the Cabin network. Read more about each of them here:

Neighborhood Zero is the first property in Cabin’s network of neighborhoods. It is located in the Texas Hill Country and is a convenient 45 minute drive from Austin. It includes three housing structures across 28 acres, 9 bedrooms (and counting), two gentle cows, a sauna, a gym, access to beautiful nature trails, and more.

You can either pay to live at Neighborhood Zero as a Resident or you get free housing by advancing Cabin’s interests as a Creator, Builder, Naturalist, or Gatherer. More below:

Residents live across the Cabin network, cross-pollinating neighborhoods with culture and ideas. They live and work remotely and help support neighborhoods financially.
Residents pay for rooms on Cabin properties. They usually have a remote job/company/creative endeavor that they work on for part of the day, but they are free to set their own schedules and do their own thing. If you’re interested in moving into a Cabin neighborhood, you can apply here today.
Builders create the physical environment of neighborhoods. They design and build structures for living, working, and connecting with other members of the community.
Builders can apply to be a Builder-in-Residence. BIRs provide 15-20 hours of weekly work over the course of several months to help build tiny cabins and other projects in exchange for free housing. They also lead Build Weeks, which are ad-hoc 1-2 week projects where a team quickly erects a structure. Past Build Weeks have facilitated the creation of a sauna, a pergola, and a bathhouse.

Naturalists come to Cabin neighborhoods to regenerate the environment and help communities live with the cycles of the natural world. They grow plants, food, animals, and culture.
Naturalists can apply to be a Naturalist-in-Residence, in which they provide 15-20 hours of weekly work to help develop or restore local regenerative systems in exchange for free housing at a Cabin neighborhood. They also lead Grow Weeks, which are ad-hoc 1-2 week projects where a team quickly creates or improves a regenerative system.
Gatherers create containers for people to come together IRL and form deep, lasting relationships. They make sure everyone is having a great time in their neighborhoods.
Gatherers can apply to be a Gatherer-in-Residence in which they provide 15-20 hours of weekly work to create safe spaces and lead the logistics of gathering at a neighborhood. This is most appropriate for folks who are great at event management and creating warm, communal conversations.

[Caretakers own and operate Cabin neighborhoods and usually reside on their properties for most of the year. They also share best practices online.](https://creators.mirror.xyz/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.mirror-media.xyz%2Fpublication-images%2FwJeEboeDtFAihIkxjcW_t.png&w=1920&q=90)
Caretakers own and operate Cabin neighborhoods and usually reside on their properties for most of the year. They also share best practices online.
The Cabin ecosystem consists of folks with unique skillsets who share a vision to create, colive, and conserve.
Neighborhood Zero is actively accepting residents for each of our different roles. Our success there can serve as a model for future Cabin properties. By providing non-financial pathways for housing we’re confident that we can accelerate the pace at which our community can come together to develop thriving neighborhoods.
