The farmhouse has a wood-burning stove for those cool nights, and is equipped with a modern kitchen and bathroom. The upstairs loft bedroom has a clawfoot bathtub and views of rolling hills. Look out onto mature trees, including blue gum eucalyptus, lemon eucalyptus, coastal Live Oaks and the rare Engleman Oak. There are no endangered species or plants on the property. You might spot hummingbirds gathered around black button sage, or in the pollination garden. “Bee Hill” is a perch that has been used by beekeepers to develop a thriving honey yield.

The rich presence of wildlife gives you a true sense of being in the wild West.
