About this property

The Art of Living in the Mountain


Part of a large compound consisting of main house and a guesthouse with signature boulders, manzanitas, pool, hot tub, outdoor bbq with dining area, viewing decks, greenhouse with fresh produce, hiking paths among the pines, this is the quintessence of mountain luxury.
One bedroom guesthouse/1 bath with washer/dryer, huge living room with high ceiling and fireplace, full kitchen with dishwasher, magnificent views from every window, sunny and bright, furnished in the best tradition of cabin life. The story goes that the compond was built late 50ies by a rich oil tycoon for his aristocratic wife for entertaining and relaxing far away from the “hustle and bustle” of city life.
Long circular driveway off a wide street takes you to this dreamlike abode. Parking is in abundance with a dedicated guest carport.
Admire the serene views from the decks over a glass of wine, plunge in the pool (heated May - October), dine at the barbeque, get some fresh lettuce from the greenhouse, enjoy the hot tub under the stars.

Amazing location. Clean and properly built property! Just make sure you understand there is a main house on the property but you do get some descent privacy. Will definitely be going back soon.
