About this property

Built in 1944, the Hobbit house is one of the first sustainable homes in California ... designed and built by "green" architect Carr Jones. All of the building materials were reused and recycled: all bricks are reminiscence from the 1908 earthquake in San Francisco, the wood was repurposed from old ships, and the metalwork is the product of old anchor chains.

The home is comfortably appointed with Jones’ trademark brickwork, unique roofing, radiant heated floors, and rusticated lumber. A truly spectacular example of amazing craftsmanship and creative design sensibilities.

The house is uniquely divided into two spaces, separated by a charming courtyard and pool. In the main house {2 story}, you will find the master loft bedroom, kitchen, with an open area downstairs. The second one-story building (1100. sq ft) has two bedrooms, a sitting area, with 2 fireplaces. and 1.5 bathrooms.

So cool and great location

We went with another family and having the two houses was awesome. The pool table was great for the guys while we hung out in the evenings! I can't wait to come back when the weather is warmer and take advantage of the pool. Seriously obsessed with this spot. 3 couples could stay here and have lots of room with privacy and multiple common areas.

Memorable Getaway

I cannot say enough positive about this property. The home is so charming. The manager is very responsive. The energy inside and out is peaceful and happy. The master bed is one of the comfiest I've experienced in a rental home. I would stay here over and over again.

Unique home with everything you need

Great location in Sacramento. Everything you need within a few minutes. Large park close by for running or walking. Well equipped and unique experience. Not your average house but a ton of charm. Great outdoor area for relaxing.
