With 18-inch-thick hand-rammed concrete walls, this home blends artistic beauty with high-performance thermal mass for energy-efficient living year-round. Rammed earth homes are known for their passive heating/cooling, superior sound insulation, fire-resistance, low maintenance, and durability that lasts for generations. Features in the home include three-zone radiant heat floors with gas boiler, a woodstove, laminate flooring throughout, low emissivity (low-e) vinyl windows, custom cabinets, stainless steel appliances, gas stove/oven, custom lighting, photovoltaic (PV) solar, solar battery pack, and a back-up whole house propane generator. Both bedrooms have exterior doors for direct outside access to the covered patio or back yard garden area. The bathroom features a shower, soaking tub, tile floors and granite counter. The main living area also features an alcove area ideal for a home office. The 350-square-foot attic offers additional space for storage or other use. Additional property features include three RV hookups with septic and water, a 16 gpm well with 11 gpm Grundfos solar pump and a 5,000-gallon tank system that feeds water throughout the property with two-inch diameter PVC. The property has a six-bedroom septic system for expansion. Other features on the property include a 10×12 bunkhouse/storage building and a 10×16 bunkhouse with view deck, water, electricity, woodstove and laminate flooring. Garden terraces have water bibs for irrigation. Enjoy the privacy, sustainability, wildlife and natural beauty this property provides. Note: included in the price, this property also has a very nice 1,200 square foot, 3-bedroom, 2-bath off-grid solar manufactured home on a permanent foundation, which would be a great as an ADU or a rental. The second home was put on the property without permits. To avoid future problems with the county building department, the unit would either need to be brought up to permitted status with the county or removed from the property. It would likely cost $30,000 to $60,000 to bring it up to permit status. For details, contact Rick Torgerson, Your Preferred Real Estate, West Point, California.
