Come see the views from our treehouse in the sky. This newly built but old-fashioned water tower style house is a unique, airy yet cozy place to spend your getaway. It is located in the quiet, historic town of Pescadero, and surrounded by gently rolling hills. It is private and relaxing yet only a short walk to town.
You can stroll to Duarte's Tavern and have some of their world famous pies, soup or artichoke omelets, peruse the local gift shops or enjoy the historic walking tour. Within a short distance are the beach, bird watching, towering redwoods and much more. A scenic 45-minute drive to the north will bring you to San Francisco; the same distance to the south is Santa Cruz.
The ground floor of the three story tower houses the carport and washer/dryer and is surrounded by gardens. On the second floor you will find the cozy and romantic and private bedroom and bath. The third floor of this Castle keep offers a 360-degree view through large French doors on every wall (please note that these doors do not open). Here you will find a fully stocked kitchen, living and dining area and a computer desk complete with T1 line ready for you to plug into.
This house, designed and built by a creative master builder includes such special features as Venetian plaster relief walls and rustic pine plank floors. The wraparound, vine covered deck and spacious grounds bring the outdoors in. The dream of old fashioned, small town living is our gift to you if only for a short time.
Come visit us and meet our pet pig "Ivy"! She is super friendly and is loved by all our guests! We even have past guests drive out to see her and bring her treats! Kids are sure to love her.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2001
My parents, Randy and Debbie moved to the area when they were still in middle school. They met and started dating in high school. While they both went away for a while in college they both came back and lived in the area for a while before getting married. Not long after getting married they bought a piece of property in the Santa Cruz Mountains. There they lived off the land (no power or water or any city connections and it is still that way!) while raising four kids (I am the youngest). They bought another piece of property in Loma Mar about 5 miles East of Pescadero mid 90s. They rented this out.
Around that same time my father started his own plumbing company after working in his brother in laws company for several years.
In 2001 they bought another piece of property right in Pescadero itself, and made both houses on it rentals.
Also on it is a beautiful barn that my mother started using for art. She had stoped painting for a while after I was born, and since I had finally entered my teen years and was more independent.
After a couple years a friend told us about vacation rentals and mom decided to turn the newer house on the property into a vacation rental, the Tower.
Unfortunitly two years ago my mom died of a rare disease, so now I manage the Tower for my father as well as the bookkeeping for our plumbing bussines. However much of my mom lives on in me, as well as my other siblings and our wonderful houses and quite frankly our whole community where she was very involved.
Why the Owner Chose Pescadero
Because it is where we live and we love it. My parents did not buy this property intending it to be a vacation rental.
The Unique Benefits of this House
Although I have spent the night at the Tower, I wouldn't say I have really stayed there before. Since its right next door to my office I don't really consider it getting away!
