Green! Green! Green! This home was built with self-sufficiency in mind. Solar Power, structural insulated panel (SIP) construction, producing avocado grove, 290 ft water well all work together for a very small carbon footprint. This "one of a kind" masterpiece has many architectural features such as a disappearing glass wall that slides into the floor creating a seamless link to the 2000 Sq Ft of outside decking. This 9 + acre estate property features an abundance of unique architectural elements and amenities with an over-riding "Green" building concept set amidst a producing avocado grove. The walls and roof are constructed from Structural Insulated Panels "SIPS" providing very high "R" values that reduce heating and cooling costs. The solar energy system produces 80% of the electrical needs, and on sunny days runs the electric meter backwards creating energy credit! You can see the owners attention to detail when building this home with its distressed hickory flooring, custom cabinets, extensive use of granite for the counters, antique bathroom vanities and stone wall accents. The home has a whole house water purification system and central vacuum. Heating and cooling is provided by a 4-zone system, or you can easily heat the home with its two wood burning stoves, burning avocado wood from your own grove. There is an attached guest quarters and a 685 sq ft detached one-bedroom guesthouse over the 4 car garage that could possibly provide additional income or room for the in-laws. There is a RV area with full hook-ups, a large shed and utility yard,a fenced garden area and chicken coop for fresh eggs! The home is located just east of Bonsall and 17 minutes north of Escondido; Temecula's shopping and restaurants are just 15 minutes to the North.Neighborhood Description
