About this home

Venerable as the California Missions, legend has it that Koller carefully crafted his visionary home from salvaged materials stone by stone, and artifact by artifact from 1928 all through the depression years, and only laying his trowel down as World War 2 was ending in 1945. Hidden within a secret mountain glen where kept a summer cabin, took his repast, one comes upon "the house of birds" as one might a Mayan Temple deep within the jungles of Central America. The sense of mystery and magic is pervasive.
