About the host
Hosted by Debbie
I am an architect & artist- Big River Farm has been my art project for many years. I live in Comptche, 10 miles inland, but appreciate coming to the Farm to work in the garden and my art studio there, out of the fog. My art studio hides under the redwoods and I am currently creating a printmaking environment for monoprints & woodblock prints there. I also enjoy an occasional moment 'en plein aire' with my watercolors or acrylics as the orchard and redwood trees have always been my muses... Being by the ocean is also inspiring. I love to kayak on the river and occasionally go rockfishing. I like to ride my bike on the Big River Haul Road. Walking on the beach or headlands is always refreshing & uplifting.

Why they chose this property
Big River Farm is a revitalized former Zen commune on site of an old goat farm and orchard. While the dwellings have been brought to the standard of modern-day comfort, to this day relics of the old Farm and the Zen commune are noticeable throughout in the buildings and meditative spaces. The various cabins have been claimed and are occupied by renters. There are 4 cabins on the property. The Zendo, at the heart of the property, is continuing to welcome visitors and provide the rural country 'Getaway' experience.
What makes this property unique
The Zendo is unique for its seclusion amongst the Redwoods and cherry trees, and yet has beautiful views of the forest understory out of its multitude of windows. Recent renovations to the kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom have created a feel of vacation comfort while still maintaining the rustic air of this country home. Bring sturdy shoes as there is a short walk downhill to the Zendo. And not to forget- the woodstove. To Mendocino locals like ourselves, there's nothing like kicking back in front of our home fireplace to make a good end to another day in paradise..
