Casa Junipero is shielded behind 5 large juniper trees. A flagpole in front pays tribute to its former life as a boarding school. A complete re-imagining of the interior and grounds created this 5400 square foot luxury home sleeps 14 people with up to 7 bedrooms and 5-1/2 baths, all under one roof.
