Cold Brook Farm

Cold Brook Farm is a remarkable 2.5-acre sustainable homestead in Hunterdon County, New Jersey. The L-shaped farmhouse incorporates spatial versatility with a functional great room hub, multiple away spaces, and floor-to-ceiling windows that blur the boundaries between indoor and outdoor living. The innovative, zero-energy home features an advanced building envelope that includes plant-based cellulose insulation, the TStuds™ framing system, and premium triple-pane aluminum-clad windows. Solar panels generate enough clean energy to power the home and support 30,000 miles of electric vehicle driving annually, with excess energy returned to the grid.

Beyond the home, the property operates as a certified organic farm producing heritage grains like Danko Rye, Einkorn Wheat, and Glenn Wheat.  Cold Brook Farm employs permaculture principles through interconnected water management systems, bioretention swales, and over 1,000 native plants that support local wildlife and create a self-sustaining ecosystem.
