Community property highlights include: a large common house for shared meals, celebrations, and meetings; shared green space between the homes for campfires, play, and beauty; a well-equipped woodshop, auto bay, and storage barn (think extra set of tires, canoes/kayaks); 250+ acres of conserved land to hike, explore, ski, and sled; proximity to and support of a farm and other agricultural pursuits (fresh veggies, raw milk, artisan cheese, maple syrup, log-grown mushrooms, herbs, flowers, and more); option for your own garden space; community solar panels; and more in this vibrant, multigenerational community.
Other details: both home utilities (electric, wood-fired heat, propane range/dryer) and community expenses (shared property taxes, insurance, reserve funds, etc.) are paid via monthly “community dues” which vary according to a longstanding formula (and discussed annually as part of our budgeting process) based on home square footage and number of occupants - current owners (2) pay $513/mo, which includes everything except their own phone and fiber optic internet service.
Timeline: the current owners are scheduled to close on their new home at the end of July and are looking to sell 36 Linden this summer/early fall.
Price: per our community agreements, this home was professionally appraised at $628,000. The selling price is fixed for 90 days as we work to identify folks who will thrive here, versus the highest offer. Joining our community means a lot more than just buying a house. It’s a process of mutual discovery we call the “exploration process.”

Living at Cobb Hill
Purchasing a home at Cobb Hill is about more than buying real estate. It is an invitation to become part of an intentional cohousing community where neighbors collaborate to care for the land, share responsibilities, and cultivate meaningful relationships.
All prospective buyers participate in our exploration process, which provides an opportunity for both the community and prospective members to determine whether Cobb Hill is the right fit.
We encourage interested buyers to visit, meet community members, and experience life here firsthand.
Note: Traditional financing pathways can be difficult for common-house apartments due to the unconventional nature of the sale of a private dwelling within a communally owned, multi-use space.
Rent-to-buy option may be available through the current owner for qualified applicants. Serious inquiries only.
Prospective members/buyers engage in a membership process with the community before purchase, including attending informational sessions and participating in mutual interviews. Residents are expected to contribute to community work, serve on committees, and engage in shared decision-making processes.
Serious inquiries for home purchases and full membership can be made through this link . Someone from our membership team will contact you as soon as possible. Reach our membership committee at membership@cobbhill.org.
Rental Units
Historically, Cobb Hill has had very limited rental opportunities. As economic conditions shift and affordability becomes an increasing concern, we are thoughtfully exploring ways to create more accessible entry points into the community. In some cases, this has included adapting existing single-family homes to create additional dwelling spaces.
All rental units are currently full. We are still taking applications for our waiting list.
Rentals managed by homeowners. You may inquire for info through membership to be connected with the homeowner directly. Each homeowner maintains their own application and screening process.
Future openings may be available for short-term and long-term rental
1 bedroom, small “ground floor “garden” apartment (400 sq ft) with private living/dining/kitchen/bath and shared hallway/mudroom.
Studio “garden” apartment (300 sq ft) with private living/dining/kitchen/bath and shared enterance/hallway/mudroom.
3 Bedroom unit in a two-family house, full kitchen, living room, with shared entrance
That said, we strongly encourage renters to engage with community life as much as possible. Participating in workdays, joining the email listserv, attending potlucks and events, and even contributing to shared responsibilities such as committee work or tending the wood-burning furnace in winter can offer a meaningful sense of what it is like to live here.
For those who wish to extend a rental beyond six months, we require participation in our exploration process and a transition toward full membership. This helps ensure alignment with the values, responsibilities, and commitments of life at Cobb Hill.
