A Tahoe-inspired retreat with an unexpected tropical twist, nestled among towering redwoods in Santa Rosa's desirable Montecito Meadow neighborhood. Distinctive architecture, dramatic natural boulders, lush tropical gardens, and cascading waterfalls create an extraordinary setting where mountain character meets resort-style living. Inside, soaring vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, rich wood accents and expansive windows complement sophisticated interiors distinguished by exceptional attention to detail. Numerous recent improvements, including new kitchen appliances, updated flooring, select new windows, extensive landscaping and beautifully refreshed interiors, reflect a discerning eye for design while enhancing the home's architectural character. The spacious primary suite is particularly captivating, with both the bedroom and bathroom overlooking a cascading waterfall. Sliding doors invite in the sights and soothing sounds of flowing water, while a private deck offers another peaceful vantage point over the gardens. Two additional bedrooms and a full bathroom are located on the same level, while the uppermost floor features an additional room with its own bathroom. The multi-level floor plan provides generous living and entertaining spaces, along with a beautifully remodeled room and bathroom above the garage. Outdoors, approximately 0.39 acres unfold into a series of enchanting gardens, inviting decks and secluded lounging areas. At the heart of the grounds is a heated, natural-style swimming pool surrounded by tropical foliage, dramatic stone formations and towering redwoods. Water cascades into the pool before overflowing into a tranquil lower pond. A level front garden, thoughtfully designed gathering spaces and a small fenced gardening area add to the property's appeal. From the interplay of mountain architecture and tropical landscaping to the carefully curated interiors and extraordinary water features, every element contributes to the distinctive character of this remarkable property. A home that must be experienced in person to be fully appreciated.
