This is a panorama of the lot. I'm going to try to upload some elevations and floorplans. Nothing is finalized. I'd love your thoughts.

Guest room. A big one. With its own bath.

Nice setting !

Alan Mascord Design Associates ??

Good looking elevations.

Garage isn't big enough :)

Absolutely! Finished before Christmas 2014. Let me know when you're around.

Thanks. It's JDA architects.

you really need to fireproof that sucka - esp. the roof; check out the new research in flame spread during forest fires

also, incorporate the rocks into the landscaping

and, yeh, swap the parts labelled "house" and "garage" in the drawing...

Garage needs to be at least 3 times bigger.

envy!

Won't be doing any wrenching. I have room for my truck, a car and my motorcycles. I'm good.

I'll let you cruise the Gullwing if the wife and I can stay? Driving distance from So Ca?

might I suggest incorporating some of the natural elements around the property? Stone, wood, etc..

It's going to be pretty rustic. Timbers, rough sawn siding with board and batt. Local stone. Minimal landscaping

It will look very much like this...

where will you put the snowmobiles?

Moses, are you building in Martis Camp? Looks like North Star in the background. I worked on a home in Martis about 4 yrs ago. Been working in Homewood on the west shore.

Nice house.

Oh hell no! Can't afford Martis Camp. That is Northstar in the back. Good eye. I'm just down the road. Schaffer's Mill.

Jeremiah Johnson is what I consider rustic. :D

Very nice though. Secret lair time underneath.

Wow. Just wow.

Moses, that would be a dream home to me. Right there in that still womb of nature. So beautiful. So serene. Absolutely f..ing brilliant!
