A Dublin couple who started a commune are hopeful they can welcome new residents to their haven.
Charlotte Knee-Zaska and her husband Max purchased an acre of land in Offaly in 2017 after deciding to seek out a more tranquil life for themselves and their daughter Iza. The couple spent over €50,000 renovating the land, which now has two separate homes.
The couple eventually were joined by friends James Smith and Ffion Thomas in 2021, who also have a daughter. Ffion and James live in the original cottage was already present on the land at the time of purchase, which Charlotte renovated to accommodate two families.
