The Saginaw Sunset home community will be featured in this year’s COBA Tour of Homes. As a company focused on developing healthier and more comfortable homes, Jim Guild Construction announced their inclusion in the 2015 COBA Tour of Homes July 17 -19 and the 24-26.
Having created one of Oregon’s newest, custom home communities, the company’s development focuses both on the value of community and home design compatibility – placing priority on solar access, mountain views and a respect of neighbors.
The home to be featured on the 2015 COBA Tour of Homes is located at 1639 NW Scott Henry Place, Bend, near where NW College Way and NW Saginaw Avenue meet. The home is complete with rooftop solar, battery backup, elevator, EV charger and panoramic views of both Tumalo Mountain and Mt. Bachelor.
“This home embodies what is possible with our high¬performance philosophy where function meets beauty,” note development owners, Jim Guild and Nunzie Gould.
This follows Bend, Oregon’s recent ranking among the 50 finalists for the $5 million dollar Georgetown University Energy Prize (GUEP). The Environmental Center of Bend initiated entry of the competition and, upon becoming a finalist for the prize, launched The Bend Energy Challenge. Jim and Nunzie are members of the organization and Jim serves on the Board of Directors.
A 20-lot development, Saginaw Sunset is set at one of the last infill properties in Bend, Oregon, staying in the heart of Bend rather than expanding the City’s Urban Growth Boundary (UGB).
The award-winning developers at Jim Guild Construction hope this home will showcase their expertise. Each potential home will offer custom features including cabinetry, doors, and millwork; all of which will be hand-crafted similar to what may be seen in the tour home this July – prices will start in the mid $700’s.

They work to defend the opportunities of homeownership for all. Jim Guild and Nunzie Gould own Saginaw Sunset; a 20-lot development that will feature custom, high-performance home in the mid $700’s.

Most folks can’t afford a $700,000 home. It would be an injustice if articles such as this led people to believe that sustainable, energy-efficient construction was only for the wealthy. Habitat for Humanity has also been constructing sustainable, energy-efficient homes at considerably less cost. Why not do an article focusing on what’s possible at the modest end of the housing cost spectrum?
