Weekend Cabin – San Diego close

[quote=Bubblesitter]Interesting architects….on the upscale side

Bubblesitter, the work of your (expensive) Seattle architect got me looking again last night into some of my “choice” retirement havens and I found a listing featured in Sunset Mag nearly 40 years ago that is “totally me.”

Ironically, over 32 years ago, I stayed in the loft of 3-story cedar home very close to this property for a few days. I’ve only visited Muir Woods/Beach and Stinson Beach once since then. Not only do these beaches bring back many memories of childhood day trips for me, the beauty and ambiance of this spectacular coastline (all the way to Eureka, but ESP. HERE), is unmatched in this state, IMO. Mendocino Coast comes in a close second, Monterrey/Pebble Beach third, the OC 4th and LJ Shores 5th. I can feel the cool breeze just gazing at the photos of the listing shown below. Love the WHOLE area!

Here’s an (expensive) property of mid-century design with an unmatched view further up the coast in Mendocino County. Enjoy!

Guess these two properties don’t qualify as “mtn cabins” but IMHO, they’re even better, what with the “woods and beach” all in the same place . . . . lol!

After living (renting a small guest house) in Hope Ranch-Santa Barbara for the last 18 months my wife and I will be moving this Thursday to the Pine Mountain Club area:http://www.pinemountainclub.net/
we found a 3800 sq ft home built in 2006 for $1650/month, unreal! We have a year lease and if we like the area we may purchase, prices and fallen at least 50%. So I will let you know how life is like up in the mountains.

Sounds to me like a bunch of you Piggs should consider a shared-ownership situation.

An extra home is an expensive luxury and I doubt many would use it more than once a month. This is why you can rent vacation homes. Probably ends up being cheaper in the long run, though you don’t get to play architect.

Find 4 people to each take a weekend every month, cut your building costs 75% by sharing the burden, and allow yourself this luxury much sooner.

Just a thought.

sdduuuude, I HAD thought of this arrangement for a S. Lake Tahoe fixer property. Since it would cost many thousands of dollars per ski season to spend as much time as I would want to in a vacation rental, I thought of going in with just ONE other party (perhaps a boater-type) that would want to use it for the warmer months of the year, who was perhaps handy, as well. I would buy the materials and pay most of the utils if the other party could do most of the repairs/renovations. That’s why I would want a larger lot, so a boat could be left there, covered, year-round.
