What makes it Green:
This private, view property is located in the wine country of Southern Oregon's Applegate Valley. THE HOME is a unique post and beam straw-bale design by artist-owner-builders combines NW contemporary styling with the soft warmth of SW adobe. This is a light-filled, comfortable home designed for ease of use; it is currently used as a Bed and Breakfast with an Art Workshop Center in the 2300sf ADOBE STUDIO with garage, full bath, separate work/office spaces.
Please visit our website for LOTS of pictures, floor plans and complete details. The price listed includes everything to do with the businesses and studio, even though each inclusion is optional. Make an offer! We can carry a contract with sufficient down and will extend courtesy to brokers.
What makes this home a Green or Healthy Home? Passive solar green Post & Beam/Straw-bale Home, 2500 sq.ft. earthen plaster inside and out, highly energy efficient with super-insulation, low-e windows, thermal masses in earthen floor and efficient clean-burning masonry stove/fireplace (kachelofen), hot water solar panel and on-demand propane water heater, low-flush toilets, 5000 gal. roof-catchment water cistern, central vacuum, skylights and recycled interior windows for natural lighting. Cork and tile flooring. All main floor rooms open onto Trex decks or the large concrete/stone front porch.

This property is looking for enthusiastic new owners. For those who would choose a life in the thoughtful lane, we hope you will visit, or book a night in our B&B (where else can you sleep in a home you are considering?). The sunshine, the quiet and a canopy of stars all await you.
