Update: Thanks for all the interest but our fine little home ended up going to a local organic veggie farm where it will be used to house seasonal farm help. We are happy to see it go to benefit our local foods and farm movement!!!
Today is as sad as it is exciting for Raven and I. You see after over two years of owning and living in our yurt, it no longer fits our needs as we move into the next unfolding plan in our lives. We are creating a nest a little more suited to long term travel and home time comfort for a pair of writers and adventurers.
In an ideal world, we’d keep the yurt. Who can’t use nearly 500 square feet of beautiful space? But we’ve put so much time into making it functional living space that in many ways we’d hate to see all that work go to waste. I’m sure we’ll end up with a smaller version and maybe even test out a hard-sided one I’ve designed. But really, this one is too well set up to let it become storage space and too big to call just a writer’s retreat!

Our parting could be your gain!

We are offering up our 2 year old, 24′ Pacific Yurt for sale. And we are being pretty flexible with options!
.
We ordered our yurt to come with 5 windows, a french door, drop screens on the door, ceiling fan brace, two window awnings, through-wall woodstove chimney kit, the wind kit, and the snow load kit. You could get all that for as little as $12,000.
Of course, we’ve spend two years crafting the yurt to suit our needs. We have constructed a “wedge” with built in shelves, a front media center, a kitchen center, and loft which contains the shower/bathroom area inside. We’ve also built custom shelves against the yurt wall between rafter supports in the kitchen (finished only last fall!). We have installed an energy efficient ceiling fan, wired in plugs, plumed for the shower, have a shower base, set up a 210 watt solar panel with four batteries, and put up a wind turbine. Not to mention the 30 x 35 foot deck and yurt platform! All of that could come with the yurt sale – a virtual latch-key home – if you are interested. We still have the Pacific Yurt assembly instructions and can certainly help the buyer troubleshoot disassembling and reassembling. For the whole kitten caboodle, we are asking $30,000. (Sorry, this does not include any of the furniture in the pictures – I’m rather fond of them!).
And we are willing to consider any offer and arrangement of components in-between. Ask questions, we can send pictures and schedule a visit if you like. Our current construction plans will keep us living in the yurt until this fall, but for the right offer we may be able to vacate early!
