Description:

SOLD !!!...Here's a truly unique offering... a true custom design/build home in an architecturally landscaped setting. Built in 1976, the home was the creation of the original owners, one an award winning architect and the other a professional landscape designer. The result? An amazing 2br2ba residence in one of the prettiest settings you will ever see. The serenity and natural beauty is simply breathtaking with literally hundreds of varieties of plants and trees.

The property consists of two separate legal parcels that total 9.3 acres. The home is sited near the center of the first parcel and enjoys almost total visual privacy from the road and neighboring properties. The home is 1,765sqft with a massive beamed cathedral ceiling. The floor plan is a very open great room style that is a terrific blend of modern and rustic. The living area is highlighted by a huge corner rock fireplace and a full wall of windows looking out over the covered deck and property beyond. The dining area is uniquely combined with a double wall library. The large kitchen features a neat corner sink and island cook center with downdraft Jenn-Aire cooktop. There's tons of cabinets and you'll love the custom pantry. The bedrooms are quite large with huge corner windows. The main bath is quite unique with a Japanese soaking tub and sliding door access to an enclosed exterior patio designed for a spa. The home has two large decks. The front deck is uncovered and made of a composite weather resistant material. The wood rear deck off of the living area is fully covered and has a great view of the landscape gardens.

There are two nice outbuildings, both with clearstory windows, and designed to look like old time buildings. Both are about 12x16 and both have electricity. They make great workshop areas or could be used as bunkhouses. There are numerous fruit trees, dedicated garden areas, and small pasture pens for animals. There are also 3 additional pads for future buildings. The well is one of the best on the mountain and rated at 100GPM. Water has been piped throughout the property. The second parcel is mostly hillside with a dense coverage of oak and manzanita. A seasonal creek bisects the property.

How about any negatives? With all of the plantings comes a greater level of maintenance. This is a property where you really need to like plants and gardening. The garden areas will need some sprucing up as health issues have limited the owner's ability to keep up with the required maintenance. The home is older but well maintained and everything is operative except the trash compacter.

This really is an amazing property, unlike any other on the mountain. My real problem has been in adequately describing its features. Take my word for it... you have to see it in person.

One final note... this is a short sale so any sale will be subject to the lender's approval and the escrow period may be rather long.
