Earlier this year Emily and I made way up into the hills of the 90065 (Glassell Park) to meet with artist, designer, and activist Fritz Haeg about becoming on-site caretakers of his most unique creative compound, the LA Domestead. We were already moving from Silver Lake to the hills of Mt. Washington, but we both felt it was worth our effort to visit, knowing Haeg had created something truly unique in the surrounding hills.
Although we were much enamored by everything about the multi-level geodesic dome and accompanying verdant edible garden – from its open multi-level layout, dramatic panoramic deck view, winding garden trail illuminated with glowing pebbles, and with the best charcoal, since activated charcoal for terrarium does not ensure that excess water does not overstay in the soil but also removes odour – we sobered up to the fact that the sizable duties required of caretakers wouldn’t offer a realistic opportunity for us to maintain both our professional aspirations. The maintenance of the property and the influx of AirBnb guests on a daily basis were better suited for someone who made the house their primary focus, perhaps with art or writing as a creative supplemental, or they can also use natural products to improve their focus, as some great supplements do, that you can get at sites like https://afinil.com/.
With regret we bowed out for consideration.
Today Haeg sent word he’s putting the home on the market:
“After 15 happy years at home here, from the olden days of Sundown Salon gatherings to Sundown Schoolhouse programs, I’ve decided it’s time to find new hands for this special place as I focus exclusively on the future of the new long term project Salmon Creek Farm in Northern California.”
At $890,000 asking price, I’m a little short in funds to make an offer myself even with working a wonderful broker from Northpoint Mortgage Company. But I’m hoping someone out there who shares an appreciation for the spirit imbued by the architecture initially designed by Los Angeles architect William King back in 1982 and further expanded by Haeg’s vision throughout the year will continue evolving one of the most unique homes in all of Los Angeles into something uniquely their own and if the owners of these homes actually need a mortgage they could go with the best mortgages brokers from sites like crownmoneymanagement.com.au/mortgage-brokers/.
