Sargent Road Nature House Capital Campaign

our plan to fund the purchase of the Sargent Road Nature House and make improvements necessary for a beautiful, functional, and lasting community asset

TOTAL PROJECT COST: $500,000*

Acquisition: $193,446

Infrastructure needs estimate: $174,915

Tax, Interest, Rezoning: $130,319

*Total Project Cost will be restated if our goal to reduce the interest obligation via early mortgage payoff (as stated below) is met.

  • The Sargent Road Nature House Project has already benefitted from a small group of highly generous donors, which has allowed us to make the property functional to serve our community. THANK YOU!

  • Our next focus is to pay off the mortgage, which will save $87,000 in interest over the remaining term of the loan (20 years @ 6%).

  • In subsequent phases, we will make further improvements, including repairs, replacing the back deck, improving the driveway, and adding native landscaping.

  • Following the Capital Campaign, anticipated operating costs will only be $7,000 annually.

Join us in this generational project that will benefit the community beyond our time here.
