21200 Center Avenue in Los Banos, California, is currently listed for $4,250,000 by Crosby Doe of Crosby Doe Associates.

The expansive home features an L-shaped wall of windows allowing view over the backyard lawn and pool from the living areas.

Handa kept it simple with the palette: black, white and wood.

The southwest-facing corner with the wood stove and the forest views is the spot in the home Emilie loves best. “It’s the spot where we do everything,” she says.

A special finish brings out the grain in the kitchen's walnut cabinetry.

The home's centerpiece is its ridge-beam skylight, which extends over the living room and expanded kitchen.

Extensive garden spaces with curated plantings, fruit trees, berry bushes, and four tiers of raised bed gardens await in the backyard.

The entire living space is able to be opened up so it appears to sit beneath a canopy.

The master bedroom can be completely opened up to the deck to create an indoor-outdoor sleeping experience.

The passage that leads to the bedrooms doubles as a library, with large bookshelves and a reading window.

Inspired by the modernists, the brothers integrated bespoke furniture into the architecture. The bespoke cabinetry is crafted from raw, unpolished timber that has an earthy, warm colour that complements the colour and texture of the walls.

The open-plan living area comprises an open plan kitchen, dining area, lounge, fireplace and an overlooking study. The stacking doors in the living area disappear into wall pockets leaving the space unhindered of glass, full open to the surrounding nature

The experience of the farm includes to the permaculture vegetable garden, fresh farm eggs, interactions with the goats and horses, and hiking through a landscape populated by giraffes, zebras, antelopes, and warthogs.
