Are you looking for a furnished room in a San Francisco mansion for just $650 a month? The good news is that it exists. The bad news is that it's in a house that shares 1,330 hugs per week.

People who use the word "mindfulness" unironically may find their perfect accommodation in Chateau Ubuntu, a 10-bedroom, 38-person mansion near Alamo Square that's seeking new residents.

The house has six, four, three and two-person shared bedrooms which range from $650-$1,050 per month. This does not include the monthly membership fee of $350 which goes toward social events, a "shared food plan" and utilities.

Living at Chateau Ubuntu offers you the chance to:

Listen to whiny acoustic guitar music at their "intimate house concerts"

View sharing "as an opportunity, not a sacrifice" because your housemates will "share with intention"

Pay way too much for groceries since most food is purchased from farmer's markets

Live by the values of their "Community P.A.C.T.S.," which includes "presence and participation," "awesomeness," "collaboration," "transformative experiences" and "sustainability." Oh, and also "gratitude," which didn't work in the acronym so they tacked it on separately.

Inhabit a living, breathing Portlandia sketch

If you were curious, the name Chateau Ubuntu comes from a Bantu word that "defines what it means to be truly human" and a French word for an extravagant manor house owned by out-of-touch European royalty.

Naturally, the house has its own Instagram and promotional YouTube video.

If all of this sounds like the perfect way to delay adulthood by pretending you're still living in your college co-op, Chateau Ubuntu is considering applicants via a 35-question application. Be advised that they recommend you share the "community value [that] resonates with you the most" in the form of a short video clip.
