Radiant floor heating (basement and main floor)
Cold weather heat pumps/mini splits added in 2021 on each floor (used mainly for summer cooling and dehumidification)

Custom-built wood features like the bar in the kitchen and counter in half bath
Natural wool carpeting upstairs
An over-sized primary bedroom with walk-in closet, plus a second closet
Large bay windows on lower and main levels
Custom Bali blinds on (almost) all windows
A more private location with no immediate neighbor to the west
Gorgeous pastoral views in all seasons to the south (see photos below!)

Utility room with laundry, set tub, hot water tanks, and bottom part of composting toilet system.
Exterior: material includes wood shingles and standing seam roof. Sunny, private side deck and covered front porch for lounging, grilling, hammock, easy ski deployment. Attached shed for added storage. Mature blueberries, raspberries, flower and other garden space around the house. Tree line and stone wall for more privacy than some other Cobb Hill homes.
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.
The current owners are actively searching for their new home and will work with potential new members/buyers on a flexible timeline.
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.”

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.
We currently have two rental units available for short term, possibly long term rental. Both are ground floor “garden” apartments with private living/dining/kitchen/bath and shared hallway/mudroom. Photos available upon request.
Short-term rentals (under 6 months) are managed directly by homeowners and do not require participation in the Membership Committee’s exploration process. Each homeowner maintains their own application and screening process.
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.
