In 1968, Charles Bello and his wife Vanna Rae bought 400 acres of redwood forested land in Mendocino County, CA, and have spent the last 50 years creating a self-sustaining utopia.
Working diligently year-after-year, the couple created the infrastructure for a completely off-the-grid compound that is both comfortable and beautiful.
They bought the land for $2,800.
Now, the house and accompanying acreage are worth $6 million.
