ABOUT cottonwood meadow
Welcome to the virtual version of Cottonwood Meadow (CWM) home to Kyle, Hannah and Hannah's mom, Jo.
​
A special little piece of property in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, CWM is an open, rolling meadow with a welcoming entrance lined with Fremont Cottonwood trees. The property was acquired with a huge existing shop and a rundown home. The next two years comprised of planning and designing a new home for the site and in January 2012 we relocated the existing home and began building our new one.
​
The new house was designed to be fire resistant, energy efficient and sustainably built consisting of 4 shipping containers melded with Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF). Check out the House Build tab for more details.
​
We also are handcrafters working with wood, metal and concrete and love to build and make.
​
We currently have three dogs, Denali, Ziggy and Chinda as well as two horses, Paddy and Molly.
