I thought so too, for a second, and then realized that it takes a certain square footage to fit in 20-30 people for a shindig. Not to mention a hootenanny.All that talk about building a tiny house and you chicken out and go for a normal house???
Am so heart broke
Originally we were talking about putting up something tiny and cheap for us to live in for two years or so while we saved up to build something larger.All that talk about building a tiny house and you chicken out and go for a normal house???

Very nice and exciting for you guys!!
We have been putting metal roof on my brother's new/old place for the last couple of days. Are you going for metal? It will drastically reduce your fire vulnerability and it did reduce our fire insurance rates.
That works too. Doesn't sound as good in the rain though............Thanks!
No, the house is going to be done in Tuscan style so the roof will be tile, probably cement tile.
Did you ever say what general area this was located in?
Stay away from Clear Lake. It's anything but clear.See username.
Seriously though, the lake is Lake Mendocino. Mendocino County, CA, just outside of Ukiah.

The Comcast pole that services the entire hill is actually on the parcel. Also, I can always build an omni or focused yagi from a neighbor (or heck, the telco, I have LoS) and terminate to a Mikrotik or similar, and build a decent scope net through L2 or 2.5 (BCP, proprietary EoIP, VPLS/MPLS, etc) approaches. <20 ms latency, usually 7/2 sustained with comcast link.youre gonna build that house and move in and then call up the phone company to get your dsl line and theyre gonna say "sorry we dont service that area"
I still like the small house idea.Originally we were talking about putting up something tiny and cheap for us to live in for two years or so while we saved up to build something larger.
After running the numbers, we found that small wasn't going to equal cheap. We decided that with the cost involved, we might as well build something we can live in for 10+ years, which included space for guests to stay overnight (+1 bedroom) and a full kitchen and living room so we can have people over comfortably.
1400 sq ft just wound up making more sense for how we use the space.
And yeah, the living room windows face the valley, including the pond which is to the lower right. We'd have to take down some trees for it to actually be in the view, so that's tbd.
And you can grow dope up there!
I was perusing the website and saw some of your wedding pics. You are beautiful. Zenmervolt, you're a lucky guy.
Back on topic, wonderful spot.
