Discover Volcan View Farm—20.10 Acres Imagine your life in a simple, spacious, comfortable home with the soundness of housing found in the thick-walled, old European country cottages. The sellers began their interest in ‘natural building’ in the 1990s; this is a code-approved straw bale home built with an eye toward environmentally sustainable, low-impact, high-efficiency building materials. Designed by Drew Hubbell, it features Saltillo tile floors on the lower level, locally milled Cedar windowsills, fireplace mantel, and handrail caps, hickory kitchen cabinets, high-efficiency JELD-WEN windows, solid knotty Alder doors, limestone countertops, and natural stone floor to ceiling stone wall. Also, note the strong Mediterranean and Spanish aesthetics in the beautiful Mission Inn-inspired lighting features. Experience the spaciousness of the upstairs primary bedroom, complete with a balcony, library, office, large private bath, and walk-in closet. The additional three bedrooms upstairs are perfect for families and a cozy gathering space for games, movie nights, or enjoying the warmth of the propane fire stove. Straw bale homes are sought after for their high insulation value, warmth, and airiness, all stemming from the thickness of the walls, the breathability of the straw bale construction, and plaster finishing. It is common to hear comments about the home's quietness and the pleasantly ‘alive’ and organic feel. They are also known for their high insulation R-factors, fire retardant properties, and economy of utility use. With access to Wynola and Farmer roads, this property is primely located at the base of Volcan Mountain with its pretty views, grass-covered rolling hills, majestic oak trees, abundant mature fruit, olive trees, and grapevines. Uncover the newly skinned fun Yurt with its private yard, tree house, and hidden camping platform with running water. It also has an abundance of wildlife (deer, rabbits, quail) that can be seen from the property. Come visit this exceptional opportunity, especially for those passionate about farming and sustainable living while enjoying modern conveniences! It includes three parcels: 250-010-(70,72,&74)-00
