Sonora House | Beautiful, Modern Straw Bale House

3 Bedroom House in Sonora

Beautiful modern straw bale earth house in the heart of gold country. Light-filled and full of gorgeous design touches. This home resides on a seasonal pond and creek. Sit outside by the fountain and enjoy a glass of wine or coffee as you watch the turkeys and deer stop by. Perhaps catch a glance of the river otters that live in the pond, or catch a fish. Animals we have seen include coyotes, deer, turkeys, foxes, bobcats, rabbits, fish, mt lion, heron, bald eagle, snakes, salamanders. We are up against federal land and our pond supports an abundance of life. Kayaks are available. Relax in the hammocks and watch the stars.
A straw bale home is a environmentally sustainable type of architecture. The walls are over 18" thick and this home is built to passively heat in the winter and cool in the summer. There are solar panels and the beautiful concrete floors have radiant heat in winter and naturally cool the home in summer. We consider this house to be a piece of art. We are so happy to share it with you and hope you will make many happy memories.
****If you are bringing small kids; this is a fragile home. Strawbale is covered with breathable lime plaster which some small hands may want to gouge, pick or otherwise destroy.
****There is a large fountain with over two feet of water outside the back door. There are several steep cliffs, drop offs and areas to fall. There are wild animals all around. It is a magical home and surroundings but we have cliffs, ponds- you get the idea. Kids will need to be closely supervised. If you have questions please reach out before instant booking.
****We welcome well behaved dogs. Please clean up after them inside and outside. Keep them leashed outside. They should not harass or chase the wildlife. Do not leave them unattended in the house. If you leave, crate them. There is a $50 charge per dog.
House has shades that can be drawn in the summer and we have added window air conditioners to cool it off on very hot days.

Summary: This property is wonderful. The home is beautiful inside and out. The property is fantastic, with plenty of options for enjoying time in the hills. This location has room for six and options for all ages. Enjoy the outdoor seating with a variety of views or sit around the fire pit and enjoy your favorite beverage. Hammocks, tire swing, rope-slide, or a closet full of games, there is plenty to do for all ages. Bird feeders throughout the grounds attract birds of all types, and a herd (8) deer wanders the grounds in the evening hours. The kitchen is a chef's dream come true. Cooking utensils, pots, pans, dishes, cutlery, and knives are easy to find and plentiful. The TV and entertainment systems are excellent, unobtrusive, and conveniently placed. Highly recommend this property for adults and children. Literally, something for everyone to relax and enjoy. The hosts are most responsive to messages, making us feel welcome.
