Quirky 'Cave' Compound Is the Ultimate Gold Country Retreat
By Tiffani Sherman | Mar 9, 2021
A Northern California home designed to blend into its surroundings stands out, thanks to its distinctive design. The cavelike home on Sheep Ranch Road near the historic gold rush town of Murphys, CA, sits on 40 acres of hills. It's the hub of a multistructure compound in the Sierra Foothills now available for $2,685,000. “The house was built to be part of the natural native landscape,” says the listing agent, Nicole Goostree. “The soil in these parts is the same color as the cave structure, so it kind of blends into the hill.”
