Off the Grid straw built home nearly at the end of Armstrong Rd, Aprox, 20 minutes from Sheep Ranch. This home was developed by Veda E. Scherer a independent free thinking spirit (Artist) who built her straw built home on 20 acres. The home is in need of TLC some metal roof damage due to a falling tree. The home has solar, adjoins US Government Land, has a propane tank Owned and filled, telephone, solar panels, multiple wood burning stoves, indoor garden. The acreage has many downed trees from the Bark Beatle and ideally should be dozed into piles for winter burning and enhancement to the property The acreage is on a creek. The zoning does allow a secondary homesite and the straw built could be a temporary homesite, for building your private residence. Ms. Scherer collected rainwater from the sloping metal roof and there is two fiberglass storage tanks. The reason that the Calaveras County Senior Center owns the property is that Ms. Scherer gifted the property to the Senior Center.
