Casa de la Vaca II -Main House (two bedroom) Right side private entrance.
PLEASE NOTE:
1. The water for our home comes from an underground well and can be unpredictable depending on precipitation levels and time of year. To remediate we have; two Triple Ozone systems, three stage (manganese, iron and hydrogen sulfide) iSpring filtration system and separate charcoal filter at the well. In addition, we have a Reverse Osmosis system in both kitchens for purified drinking water. We monitor the well on a continual basis as it is shared with our neighbor. The water will always have some degree of underlying scent of sulfur; although it is perfectly safe. This comes with the territory of being remote on 5 acres in the mountains. If you are sensitive to well water and require city water, please stay in the city.
2. All-wheel drive is always recommended especially during winter months, in case of snow. You will drive up 800 ft of unpaved road to reach our private gravel road to our home. Convenient parking is available in front of the stonework on either entrance. Complimentary Level 2 -EV charger NEMA 10-30 and Tesla adapter available in the carport for your charging convenience.
