Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2005
David and I have lived in Oregon for a total of 85 yrs. David is a native from the rainy coast of Newport,Oregon. I am a Calif. transplant from Newport Beach, moving to Oregon in 1975. We both love Ashland beyond words! It is a very special community and is a friendly, happy, open little town.
We bought Ann St. together after just meeting 4 mths. earlier and totally gutted this funky little one bedroom. We took out all the walls, except of course, the bathroom and transformed it into a charming and spacious one room cottage. We treated it like a Boat and built in large drawers for storage, using beautiful Birch wood through out, also adding redwood trim from David's father's antique wood stash. Then we added a 400+ sq. ft. deck that has a spectacular view of the Cascade Mountains.
David and I have a micro-distillery in Ashland, the first 'Organic' Micro-distillery in Oregon! We are handcrafting organic vodka and gin using our custom built Still from Germany. We sell our liquor throughout Oregon and now are in California under the brand name of OrganicNationSpirits.com Ck. out our webpage.
Why the Owner Chose Ashland
We actually bought it for David to live in, then as our relationship progressed and we decided to give marriage another chance and moved in together at my home, we decided to not move all his household items from his former marriage but to use all of this to start a fully furnished vacation rental business. It seemed to be the 'highest and best' use of Annie.
The Unique Benefits of this House
The quiet! Ashland has become a very densely populated town, especially in the 'core' downtown, Railroad District area. And yet, Annie's Cottage is only a 5 min. walk to town. And the charm and ambiance of this little home! This is a place where you can renew your relationship with your lover or yourself with the shinning of Annie's nurturing environment. David put his love and care into remodeling Annie and it shows~you can see and feel it! Former renters "ooo" & "aaaahhh" , upon moving in and reveling in the charm and quietude.
