For Rent and Sale: Common House Apartment

We are currently seeking a new member to join our vibrant and sustainable ecovillage as a co-owner and resident of our Common House.

Available Space Details:

An apartment featuring one bedroom, one living room, and private half bath is available in our Common House, which is the central hub of our community. This distinctive living space is perfect for someone eager to embrace the unique experience of community living in an ecovillage setting.

Why you’ll love living here:

Living at Cobb Hill Cohousing, in the heart of the Common House, means access to:

• All the perks of Cobb Hill land and community - 250+ acres of farm and forest, with trails, woodshop, storage, and many other bonuses.

• Social opportunities, from potlucks to community workdays (optional for short-term renters)

• A peaceful, eco-conscious environment 

• A taste of community living with the privacy and comfort of your own dedicated spaces

Key Features:

• Location: Common House (a shared space) at Cobb Hill Cohousing

• Private Rooms: Two rooms with hardwood floors, generous closet space, and windows facing east, west, and north.

• Bathroom: Private half bath with a tub/shower and sink, plus a shared composting toilet room.

• Square Footage: Approximately 533 sq. ft. of private room space, plus a semi-private balcony.

• Shared Areas: Access to the kitchen, living areas, and various shared resources, including a multipurpose room, den with fireplace, piano, guest room, dining room, mail room, root cellar, and more.

Living in the Common House offers a blend of community engagement and shared resources, with opportunities for socializing, shared meals, and personal interaction. This lifestyle is ideal for individuals who:

• Embrace a communal living situation (it’s a community within a community!)

• Possess strong interpersonal and communication skills

• Maintain healthy boundaries

• Have the energy and enthusiasm for social engagement   

• Exhibit patience and flexibility

Rental Details:

Why rent? Renting here is a wonderful way to dip your toes into the Cobb Hill lifestyle—sharing meals, gardens, trails, and community life—without the big upfront commitment of purchasing a home.

This opportunity won’t be around for long. The rent is well below market rate, and the chance to live at Cobb Hill, even temporarily, offers countless perks: shared land and gardens, vibrant community connections, and the rare chance to explore cooperative living in practice.

Lease Details:

• Lease Terms: Flexible 6-month lease, with option to extend 

• Rent: $1500/month, including: heat, water, electricity, high speed internet, propane, maintenance, and community dues

• Deposit: One month’s rent as security deposit

• Availability: Furnished or unfurnished to meet your needs

• Unfortunately, pets cannot be accommodated in this space  

Short-term renters are welcome to join in for community events and workdays, but are not required to participate in community. For those choosing to extend the lease beyond 6 months, a full membership exploration process is required with community participation expectations.  

Purchase Details: Sale Price: $195,000

The space is listed for sale at the appraised price of $195,000. Please note that due to the unique nature of shared ownership (it’s not a self-sufficient apartment with its own kitchen/bathroom), financing through traditional banks can be challenging, which often requires a cash purchase.
