After only about a month on the open market, the Southern California hobbyist farm and creative sanctuary owned by actor Rainn Wilson has seen its first price chop. The property was initially priced at $1.7 million; it is now asking $1.6 million. Not a big slice, but enough to stir a little additional interest in this very unique and very literate home.

The house went up in 1981. Details that reveal the nuanced soul of this home begin to appear immediately upon entering: the ceiling fixture in the foyer is worth a look on its own. As the home develops, more substantially artistic and individualistic elements appear, among them a tile kitchen counter and stove backsplash in an abstract expressionist design.

Varied wood textures and warm and cool tones also help distinguish this unusual house. A pine-floored studio is among the home’s creative/recreational spaces. The property’s exterior features include an intimate Saltillo tile terrace, as well as accommodations for livestock.
