So beautiful Gather herbs from the garden for tonight's dinner. Sit on the deck. Pick fruit straight from the trees. Play, garden, hang out on the deck. You will also love the detached refugio — the owners' name for the charming structure that could become an ADU, if you'd like it to be. Perhaps a spacious home office, a family room… your choice. And let’s not forget the workshop, too, for whatever you've been meaning to build. Energy Score is four.
