Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2001
This property has been one where people have come from all over the globe for healing. The majestic, sacred, ancient oak tree is well known in our area and seems to have an unforgettable presence about it. I wrote and published my first book from this home, My Recycled Pets: Diary of a Dog Addict, which is my life story that tells about my journey starting, running and mostly self-funding one of the first all-volunteer, pet rescue charities of its kind in Southern California. The equity from this home helped support my charity and now I am offering it as a vacation rental for others to enjoy and for the much needed income it will hopefully generate.
