This beautiful home is within a vibrant ecovillage cohousing community called Cobb Hill. Buying a home at Cobb Hill involves joining the intentional cohousing community and being active in community life. Members own their homes plus a share in the commonly owned land, forest, barns, wood shop, wood heating system, EV charging stations, photovoltaics, and the common house. The common house includes a large kitchen, dining room, den with stone fireplace, playroom, root cellar, library, large meeting room, guest rooms, laundry, and a cheese aging room. We care for the shared land and buildings together, in addition to our own homes. Neighbors participate in committees, community meetings, shared work, and a range of social gatherings. This all adds up to a lot of work and time, so we’re careful to say that folks need to have space in their lives for this community piece. If your life is already very full with your household needs, family, work, hobbies, etc., this might not be a good fit. Features common to all homes include solar hot water, south-facing passive-solar orientation, composting toilets, efficient insulation, green-building design, a central-heating system, and high-speed gigabit fiber internet. Home prices are set via a home appraisal for the first 90 days. The prices are not negotiable (higher or lower) during this time. The intent is to find the right fit rather than the highest bidder. All sales and rentals include a community “exploration process” and a transaction with the current owner. We are not growing and building new homes. This 1,380sq foot home is located close to the common house and surrounded by vegetable and perennial gardens. Sunny and cozy, it has an open floor plan, with kitchen, living and dining space on the first floor, along with a mudroom and full bathroom. The living room opens onto a large, two-level deck which extends the space for outdoor living from spring to fall. To the north, a generous, shady porch is shared with the owners of the other side of the duplex. Perennials, herbs, fruit trees, and berry bushes surround the house, along with ample space for growing vegetables and a large shed for tools and outdoor gear. Upstairs are three bedrooms: a large master bedroom and two smaller rooms, each with lofts, that can serve as bedrooms or offices. The walk-in basement is sunny and bright. The south facing portion of the basement is finished space, the northern portions are unfinished and ideal for storage. The home is in move-in condition. Heat pumps were installed in 2023 and the exterior was freshly stained in the same year. The porch was re-roofed in 2024, and the kitchen has new counters and refinished floors.
