We also manage properties (Airbnb and VRBO's) and are Real Estate Agents for FHL Realty, Inc. in Julian, California. Our offices are located right next to our Wood Design Studio in Julian Station. 

We specialize in backcountry and off the grid living in the San Diego County Backcountry areas. We live the off the grid life, and it wasn't easy to learn. Many people have a misconception of how to live this lifestyle and along our journey we learned many valuable lessons that we would love to share with our clients. Reach out to us today to learn more about solar systems and off the grid lifestyles!

Contact us today to see our listings and let us help you buy or sell a little slice of paradise in the backcountry.

Want to see how we make our beach epoxy boards? Watch our videos here!

Our one of a kind beach epoxy wave boards are made at our epoxy studio in Julian, CA, and sold online and in our retail studio inside of Julian Station. From start to finish, each board takes approximately 72 hours to cure, then an additional few hours to finish. The epoxy we use is fully cured and food safe, plus the wood parts of the boards can be used for cutting. The epoxy parts of our boards should only be used for display (cutting on the epoxy will leave knife marks and damage that area).
