Fans and three portable AC units, which can be moved room to room, can keep you cool during the summer. At night you can open the European style side-opening windows for a soft breeze as you listen to the owls hoot and wolves howl. You will notice many artistic elements throughout the home. The home was designed and owned by a lifelong artist who crafted the tilework pieces in the ledges of the windowsills, the tile surrounds on the shower stalls, the bench seating next to windows and more. True adobe home with artistic details to match at every spot. Watch the movie of 'my parents' designing and building the home from hand and you will surely see how much care was taken into every artistic inch of the home. There are games for kids, adults, & couples to enjoy, as well as a small library with both children's and adult books, history books and art books for you to read and indulge in.

A SOLO Brand stove/wood burning fire pit has been added (Mar. 2022) w/additional seating (stacked and stored). A deck off the master has a quaint sitting area. The other deck has a nice conversation area for an evening glass of wine. There is a two car covered car port out front and a rocked drive way, both step and ramp entry to a one story all tiled home. Many gates and gardens where kids can get lost exploring, climbing and searching for critters are located all throughout the 3.5 acres. The tubs and showers use an on demand hot water system. The home uses water harvesting for the lower gardening beds. Be careful when showering or using the tub to not put any harsh chemicals down the drain as it flows directly into the garden.
