About this property
Private Estate
This private estate is located on 7 serene, sunny, wooded acres, accessible by private road. The garden is spectacular! The property adjoins Nisene Marks State park on one side, with old growth redwood trees, and is accessible by private road.
The house is super comfortable and perfect for a relaxing get-away, featuring a cook's kitchen, hardwood and stone floors, fireplace, outdoor patio with firepit, swimming pool, jacuzzi, and beautiful open spaces surrounded by mature oak, Madrone, and pine trees. Mature lemon and orange trees produce fruit year round, and the young orchard consists of peach, pear, orange, Mulberry, Loquat, plum, and persimmon trees.
There are two fireplaces, one in the living room, and one in the master suite. There are two master suites, both with private baths and private entrances.
This place is hummingbird paradise. Also expect visits from bluejays, finch, doves, and many others to the fountain in the courtyard. Foxes, deer, coyotes, wild turkeys, hawks, owls, bobcats and even mountain lions live in the area, but the property is completely fenced and gated, so they keep to the surrounding woods.
Quiet, serene, peaceful! Two weeks will rejuvenate your soul!
