Here is a small blurb about a bale home for sale near where I love. It is South of the Oregon/California border, but still fairly close as West Coast distances go!
Beautiful Straw-bale home in Shasta County California for sale. Such a home is rarely available. Passive Solar designed with super low electric bills. The home has roughly 5000 sq.ft of covered patio area. In addition to the home, there is a 20×30 detached shop/garage. The property is roughly 10 acres set up for horses or other animals. It is only a short drive into the city, even though the country feel is evident as the property is located outside of City limits in the Country. Price Reduced to $319,500!
Call the broker, Bobby Lee Williams at (214) 548-7910 and visit the owner’s website at www.strawbalecitadel.com for more information.

Hi Andrew, just came across this website – IS THAT STRAW BALE HOUSE YOU MENTION ABOVE STILL AVAILABLE FOR SALE??
I am very interested in the whole concept of COB and Straw bale housing. I live in South Africa at present but want to move to US, possibly around Pennsylvannia – any chance of cob housing for sale there? Or possible chances of help to build my own there.
please reply
thanks, Dina
