Escape to serenity at Third Gate, where a beautifully crafted 2-bedroom home sits on 18 acres of rolling hills and enchanting forests. The property includes a charming A-frame second unit nestled across the creek in the woods, offering additional living space or a private retreat. In addition to the 3 acres of fenced horse pasture with a 3-stall barn, you'll enjoy a greenhouse, fenced garden area, two seasonal creeks, an abundant spring, and vast expanses of madrone and oak trees. Several thoughtfully placed outbuildings provide ideal spaces for workshops and creative pursuits. This off-grid home is designed for harmony with nature, featuring passive solar heating via a Trombe wall to keep you warm on cool nights. High windows welcome refreshing breezes on warm days, and an innovative pulley-activated drying rack enhances the home's eco-friendly appeal. Built on a sturdy poured concrete foundation, the craftsmanship is exceptional. The land offers endless opportunities: a bountiful garden with 15 mature fruit trees, a henhouse, and acres of forest where you can forage black trumpets, boletes, and shiitake mushrooms. A rain-fed pond provides irrigation, and with 20,000 gallons of water storage, you'll be well-prepared even in dry years.
