Sonora House | Beautiful, Modern Straw Bale House

3 Bedroom House in Sonora

Beautiful modern straw bale earth house in the heart of gold country. Light-filled and full of gorgeous design touches. This home resides on a seasonal pond and creek. Sit outside by the fountain and enjoy a glass of wine or coffee as you watch the turkeys and deer stop by. Perhaps catch a glance of the river otters that live in the pond, or catch a fish. Animals we have seen include coyotes, deer, turkeys, foxes, bobcats, rabbits, fish, mt lion, heron, bald eagle, snakes, salamanders. We are up against federal land and our pond supports an abundance of life. Kayaks are available. Relax in the hammocks and watch the stars.
A straw bale home is a environmentally sustainable type of architecture. The walls are over 18" thick and this home is built to passively heat in the winter and cool in the summer. There are solar panels and the beautiful concrete floors have radiant heat in winter and naturally cool the home in summer. We consider this house to be a piece of art. We are so happy to share it with you and hope you will make many happy memories.
****If you are bringing small kids; this is a fragile home. Strawbale is covered with breathable lime plaster which some small hands may want to gouge, pick or otherwise destroy.
****There is a large fountain with over two feet of water outside the back door. There are several steep cliffs, drop offs and areas to fall. There are wild animals all around. It is a magical home and surroundings but we have cliffs, ponds- you get the idea. Kids will need to be closely supervised. If you have questions please reach out before instant booking.
****We welcome well behaved dogs. Please clean up after them inside and outside. Keep them leashed outside. They should not harass or chase the wildlife. Do not leave them unattended in the house. If you leave, crate them. There is a $50 charge per dog.
House has shades that can be drawn in the summer and we have added window air conditioners to cool it off on very hot days.

Summary: Spacious home, good layout for the most part. The home has one bathroom, which is on the other side of the master and living area. If we would've come with more people (we didn't use two of the bedrooms), it would've been challenging with one bathroom. We missed that when searching for a home in the area. The outside of the home is beautiful with many different seating areas. The outside dining area is on the side of the Master bedroom, which is an odd choice and more cumbersome to get to. The house is a little too cluttered for us with lot's of decorations. We were supposed to get our deposit back within a certain amount of time, and that ended up not happening. That was a disappointment.

Summary: The property is magical. The host, Lisa, could not be sweeter, more responsive or more accommodating. We had a fabulous time just relaxing in the beautiful surroundings of StrawbaleHouse. The touches of hammocks, Adirondack chairs and other little sitting niches around the property make is super relaxing to sit back and watch nature go by...quite literally. The house itself is well appointed. Lots of cozy blankets, games, stocked kitchen. We didn't want for anything. We will be back!

Summary: We had SUCH an amazing time at the straw bale house :) The house itself had everything we needed for a Thanksgiving holiday away from the city. The kitchen was well-appointed and had everything we needed to cook many delicious meals, and comfortable seating for our group of 6 (and 2 dogs!) The bedrooms and living spaces were comfortable and cozy - plenty of blankets, plush towels, even candles and holiday decor all across the house to make us feel at home - they even had dog bowls, toys, and dedicated towels for the pups ready to go! The outdoor space is beautiful - we made great use of the firepit and seating area overlooking the lake, the hammocks, and even had warm enough weather to take the kayaks out on the lake itself to float in the sun. The location is so peaceful and quiet, and we loved taking in some local deer and turkeys walking through the property! Lisa was super responsive, providing recommendations for our stay and timely responses to any questions we had. We would definitely recommend her home and would love to come back again!!

Summary: We had an amazing stay! This place is a great getaway. My husband and I work from home and just needed a different scenery. We got there and you felt transported to a calming and soothing area. There's so many areas to just sit and relax and enjoy the day. The area was very hot, but each area had shade at certain times of the day which made it very enjoyable to sit outside all day. We enjoyed watching the turkeys and the deer’s out at dusk. My husband caught sunfish, in the pond which was a treat for him considering he loves to fish. (catch and release of course). My favorite thing was having dinner outside and listening to the waterfall outside of the bedroom. Thank you again Lisa for this place, we would definitely stay again.
