Property Description

8 acre site in Northern San Diego County with two buildings, a 1344 square foot strawbale dwelling plus 700 square foot covered patios and a 1656 square foot detached garage/workshop with a second story.  The buildings were designed by the renowned architects Hubbell & Hubbell.  The site was then further developed with a large flat pad for a main dwelling which was not built.The house is built with natural materials - straw, lime, wood, low VOC cabinetry; trimmed with solid wood - solid walnut floors and cabinet faces; finished with natural products - tung oil and limewash.  The primary goal for the house was an accessible beautiful space with extremely high thermal efficiency. This has been achieved.  The house is heated by a wood burning stove and neither has nor needs any cooling.The owners planned to build a large primary dwelling and developed the site with extensive grading and landscaping.  Due to a change of circumstances the owners are leaving the country instead of pursuing this.In this area of San Diego county 8 acres of raw land would be priced around $600,000 - $650,000.
