Beautiful 6 acre property in the Applegate Valley or Southern Oregon located in the hills between Medford and Grants Pass, Oregon. The custom built straw bale home is 1500 SF with 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. It was built by the owner who was also my lead carpenter and lead baler at the time.


The home has an open floor plan, radiant floor heat, wood stove, custom kitchen with stainless steel appliances, pantry and root cellar. The master suite opens to a deck, and has a beautiful bathroom with a travertine tile 2 head shower. The home, completed in 2008, also has a wrap around deck, high speed internet, and grid-tie solar system.

There is a pond and seasonal creek on the property which help irrigate the established organic gardens, orchard, medicinal herb gardens, and 2000 SF greenhouse. As a working organic farm, there are also agriculture buildings, a 16′x24′ shop, and chicken and goat facilities. Everything you need to step into farm life is already in place. The property backs to BLM land (Bureau of Land Management) which is beautiful and undeveloped. The property has a 20+ GPM well and new septic system. The owner is moving out of town and will be leaving behind an amazing property for someone to swoop up! If you are interested, please contact me via this blog and I will set you up with the owner. The property is listed for a mere $445,000 with everything above included in that price.
