Description
Hello! My name is David. Born and raised in the bay area , of northern California. I was fortunate enough to travel often through my years around the world. All of those experiences were wonderful! Now that I have a project of my own I look forward to hosting travelers & sharing some of the skills that I’ve gained along the way.
Colton my friend, and I have have a beautiful property in northern California that was homesteaded during the gold rush & operated as a gold mine. It was abandoned for a couple of decades prior to me getting it. So it’s a diamond in the rough currently! There is a house & several cabins that I’m in the process of renovating. A fruit orchard with walnuts, apples, pears, plums, peaches, & mulberries.
This year I’m setting up a vegetable garden. There are 2 creeks that run through the property & a large pond. We’ll be setting up hydro-electricity this summer. We’re also cleaning around the pond & setting up a little floating village with yurts & who knows what else!
We would like to know about your transportation, due to fact we are pretty far off the beaten path. There is public transportation to Nevada city, Ca. but hopefully you have a vehicle. Makes this so much easier for people up into the area. Please let us know.
Come check it out!
