eaves, excellent advice to Bubblesitter (and any other Pigg that wants to build in this day and age . . . anywhere)! Especially the part about being able to get to a hospital, drug store, convenience store, etc. I’ve just seen too my “snowed-in” situations in my life. It’s hard enough for “in-town” dwellers in rural mtn towns to move about part of the year.

For me, there are so many already-built architect-designed houses/cabins to my liking in almost all my fav “retirement locales” that I’m sure I won’t have to wait too long to find a suitable place when I’m ready to retire!

For me I’d do Julian/Cuyamaco or Palamar. I think I’d use it more if it’s 90 minutes away.

My husband’s boss just built a “cabin” near Julian. (It’s a very nice 2 bedroom house in a cabin setting.) I think they plan to retire full time to it – but for now they spend every weekend there. As you can imagine, an architect building his retirement home – it’s VERY nice and has really nice details.

Things to consider with So. Cal potential cabin locations – you need to plan for fire. You need to have it extremely fire hardened on the outside, and have sprinklers, etc. In the cabin the boss built it’s got metal shutters that come down over the windows as well as a cistern fed sprinklers under the eaves. Because they wanted energy efficiency they boosted the quality of the insulation and windows.

I really like Palomar. It has a much better “away from it all” feel, and the prices are decent. I’d buy this one for a home if I didn’t have to commute to La Jolla 6 days a week.

I’ve been on that road, Mike. Even though I’d prefer a tall FP to a pot-bellied stove, that’s a very cute cabin for SD County!
