We have a small active alpaca farm in Malibu, California.
https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/2337951

Looking to let: freestanding room+bath+1+kitchen 600"sq interior.
Anything from BnB with service, to long term lease.

You have your awesome self, and you are looking for some time on a hilly ranch, rustic with special charms, succulent garden, and alpacas.

Close to beach (Malibu, Zuma), surf, hiking, motorbikes, horses, nature (Backbone trail), and alpacas.

Filtered and tested deep-water well 7gal/min pump 20gal/min flow.

DSL
(To be upgraded to fiberoptic link when AT&T finish their work).

Delightful treehouse,

acreage with views.  Private.
...oh, and alpacas.

Some alpacas....

OMGGGGGG so cute...

I offer 100 a month, aslong as I can sleep with the alpacas during the weekends.

100 BTC per month is a lot even with the alpaca stud service included...

The local market rate in the area is around US$1600-2000/month for comparable, but frankly I'm more interested in high quality people than the money, which is why it is being advertised here way ahead of availability.

The last tenant was an artist, and had his most productive period while staying there.  But he just wasn't the same person after returning from Burningman.

One of the barns is shaping up into a nice little furniture / cabinetry / carpentry factory.
So if you are handy with the woodworking, potential extra benefits and revenue.

You should add a few more cuddly creatures and make it a petting zoo mate  ;D i would sure make regular visits

Although it isn't quite wilderness, it is pretty remote.  So there are more bunnies than the coyotes can possibly eat, as well as lots of birds including hawks, variety of reptiles, occasional badger or other critter.

We've kept peocock and guinnea hen at the ranch but it is difficult to keep them protected, the alpaca are pretty good at protection and mix well with birds so that may be in the future again.

The alpaca will eat from your hand and are very friendly.  Some of them were formerly in petting zoos.  They all have their own personality though, each one is different, some are more shy, others not at all.

We had a new alpaca baby this weekend.

And we discovered that one of our neighboring alpaca farms a mile away is also setting up for AirBNB so there are options for everyone:

Though our little ranchito is a good bit more rustic yet.

AirBnB doesn't take bitcoin yet, but we are working on them. (Thanks Paige)

Some have left reviews.

For Bitcoin payers, we are happy to go all out, just let me know what we can do for you.  Either send a PM here or check my profile for contact information.

Have had a few more guests come by.  (Hi folks)
We love hosting the bitcoin dignitaries of the world.
Stories, code, colloquy salon, adventures, math, and entrepreneurs of all stripes welcomed to our pastoral respite.

There is an AirBnB competitor that takes Bitcoin in the EU, but none in the USA.
I may start one unless or until AirBnB starts accepting bitcoin.
Let me know if you want in.

My llama may be interested. He's been creeping over as I read your thread. Unfortunately, he's mean as hell and only gets along with horses.

Wish I could pack up and go there. I do enjoy Alpaca socks, not gonna lie.

Looks nice!
Bookmarked for future.
(Am looking for a s/t rental that allows pets = 1 each: neutered cat and goat)

Cat and goat would both be welcome. (you too)

There are coyote native in the area, so cat should be inside at night, and there is a safe pen for the goat.  (Alpaca make great protection animals.)

From what I've heard, llama can breed with alpaca, myth?

Do you guys sell alpaca socks? 8)

Hmm. I don't know? I thought I read once that syphilis was a disease of llamas. So maybe I could breed with one.
 :D

Beat me to the socks line.

OK, jokers.... I'm going to pretend you are serious.  ;)

Only wholesale socks.
By the thousand pair.

Some very amazing handcrafted alpaca wool felted items too.
I'll upload pics at some point.

Alpaca wool Felting, carding, spinning lessons also are available for the asking.

Room is open and vacant once again...

You could make some serious business from this. I know a guy who has a kangaroo farm, it's not a petting zoo, the Kangaroos can go wild around the premises, and they are very friendly and like people. His is kind of a petting zoo except they are not enclosed. You could do this and give discounts to people who pay in Bitcoin  ;) I'm pretty sure a lot of people would be interested in seeing alpacas.

The alpaca are friendly enough to eat from your hand.  They can't really bite you as they have no upper teeth.  If you are very patient and gentle, some of them may let you pet them on the neck.
They are pretty smart for prey animals, and very social in their herd.
We had a baby (called a 'cria') a couple weeks ago.  The ranch is off the beaten path in the hills of Malibu California, a bit rustic and very peaceful.

Alpaca are great jumpers.  Most any of them could get out of their areas if they are motivated, but they like each other and tend to just stay in the pens.  There are a few that will take the odd walk around the grounds though.

And yes, discounts and special treatments are available for those that pay in Bitcoin.

Wishing i had an alpaca, but do to such a busy life style can't seem to make time for one. Do you guys also shear?

Dumb spam... When will this account be for sale?

Yes, and the wool is exquisite.  Some hand crafted alpaca wool items for sale for BTC, or you can learn how to felt while you visit taught by an expert.

Tailor made sheep's wool suit at one of the best Beverly Hills tailors is about US$4K, the alpaca wool suit, about US$15K.
