Friendly neighbors just over the fence, yet you'll feel a world away. Built California-earthquake strong with 2X6 walls, this south-facing retreat drinks sunlight through vinyl double-pane windows and 8-ft ceilings. Hardwood floors everywhere, brand-new floors in kitchen, guest bath, and laundry. Kitchen glows with oak cabinets, breakfast bar, and a huge window over the sink so you never miss the forest while rinsing dishes. Heat? A legendary Quadra-Fire wood stove (83 % efficient) plus baseboard electric averaging $100/month throughout the year. 700-ft well - no cistern, no hauling water. Seasonal stream, wild peppermint, 3 apple trees, chokecherry tree, and a tiny hot spring keep the wildlife parade coming year-round.
