Los Angeles Farmhouse with a Twist

May 26, 2021

Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher’s modern farmhouse is luxurious and fully sustainable.Their six-acres estate sits on top of a hill in Los Angeles. Their home took over five years to build. The estate includes the main house, barn, and a fun BBQ pavilion. They made it a priority to design a sustainable farmhouse for their family.

How is it Sustainable?

The structure is fully powered by photovoltaics. Photovoltaics are solar cells that convert sunlight into electricity for a home or building. Ashton and Mila’s photovoltaic system is hidden above their porch that stretches along one side of their home. The house produces more power than the property actually requires. Mila and Ashton live a sustainable lifestyle. They grow their own foods and enjoy regenerative farming. During quarantine, they started growing corn. In fact, they grew so much corn that they were handing it out to their neighbors for free just to get rid of it.

The Origin of the Farmhouse

Is anyone else in love with modern farmhouses? Farmhouse architecture originated in Europe. They were simple structures built on farm lands. Farmhouses were made of wood because it saved the homeowner time and money. Today, the contemporary farmhouse look has become very popular. The trend took off after people were introduced to the style on HGTV’s “Fixer Upper.” Now celebrities like Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis are taking the trend to a whole new level.
