20 acres hosted by Sarah B.
This secluded canyon in the mountain wilderness was once home to the Kawiiasu Native Americans. Oaks trees over 300 years old once served as a staple food source for them, and acorn grinding stones are found throughout the area. A cave is situated at the top of a nearby cliff where free range goats live at night, and venture down to the Eco Farm during the day. Wild Thingz Eco Farm was founded in 2017 from a vision of former Hollywood stuntwoman/actor, artist and massage therapist Sarah H. Brown. The motto is 'Wild Thingz Live Free' and it is a journey into building a life off grid, in harmony with nature and wildlife, while producing an abundance of food sources. Drawing from Native American knowledge and Permaculture/Organic/Regenerative practices, this is the beginning stages of building that dream on the 20 acres of land.
The bottom portion of the property is the current camping area where large trees create shade and beauty. A dirt road passes by near the camping area, but usually has few cars a day travel through. Occasional free range cows will meander through the camping area, and are generally afraid of people. Up above is the communal area which is under construction. It has a 40 foot shipping container covered in art, a safe area for earth oven fires with seating, and magnificent views in the day or night.
Classes and tours are available on a number of topics related to living and growing off grid, foraging wild foods, natural building with earth, making yucca baskets, composting and more.
Book a massage in the shade of the oak tree, do a yoga/stretching session in the woods, enjoy meandering through back country roads, or relax in the hammock. Be left alone or join Sarah for fires, classes, conversation or music. Nature is here to nurture and inspire you. Come home the the wild.
Learn more about this land:
A secluded canyon in the wilderness with oak and pine trees below, juniper and yucca on the drier mountains above. The campsite is close to a dirt road with occasional but little cars, nestled below a community center in the making on the hill. Large trees give a private feel. Views of mountains surround the campsite, occasional free range cows drift through, and free range goats that live in a cave far above the camp come visit during the day. A dry creek bed with colorful rocks run past the campsite, an organic garden is close by but not in view of campsite. It has a mostly private feel, but can be viewed from the road above through the trees if you make an effort to see. The sounds of quail and other birds are common. Bunnies are often seen, and the echos of coyotes through the canyon are enchanting at night. It is mostly quiet aside from the barking of dogs in the far distance (from houses that are not in view) on occasion, and occasional cars. Across from the land is a fenced property that is not is use and only viewable from the communal area above. There are young cactus planted near the camping area so be sure to keep children from touching them. There is a water spigot and outdoor shower at the campsite. Water temps are controlled by the sun.
The host wishes to connect with campers eager to learn about off grid living, sustainable growing, wild food foraging, natural building and more if they are interested, but it is not required for camping stays. Also, musicians/singers/rappers who would like to jam/freestyle or listen to hosts original music (bluesy electric guitar/rap/rock) are welcome! Campers are free to have their privacy, and if they would like to socialize with the host that is also welcome. Only one site is booked at a time unless an event is being held. Lake Isabella and Remington Hot Springs are an hour away for day trips. An archery shooting area is available in the campsite, and archery rentals are offered. A music studio with drum set is available for hourly rentals. Many classes are also offered to campers.
Please be aware that once campers exit the 58 freeway and drive through the long canyon towards the camp, there is no cell service for the rest of the trip, and no cell service at the camp. There is Wifi for internet calls at the camp if need be. The closest grocery store and gas station are an hour away so please plan accordingly. Be sure to watch for cows in the road on the winding drive through the canyon after exiting the 58.
