The 1987 hand-crafted construction combined with an acre of dense forest and intricate gardens may necessitate significant ongoing maintenance and specialized care.

Adorning this parklike setting is a hand-crafted 3 bedroom / 4 bathroom primary home by a noted designer/builder, with whimsey and large windows, skylights and more letting the forest views in. The specialty design throughout puts this in a league of its own and there is so much to enjoy and celebrate of its uniqueness. Additionally, a later-built Casita with high ceilings, a ¾ bathroom, a deck to soak in the nature… and a Murphy bed allowing use as a guest cottage, an art space and/or an office. The meandering garden spaces throughout the property encompass a wide variety of plants, from ferns to cacti to lemon trees. The grounds offer various resting spots to visit and enjoy including an outside fireplace (gas) on granite hardscape and a path that leads to a storybook style bunkhouse with a composting facilities hut… Grandkids?! Solar power is owned and has produced all power as needed. The garage has a brand new door, skylights, lots of storage cabinets and an epoxy floor. The grounds are graced with landscape lighting and irrigation for ease throughout. This is a property with such surprises from the norm – it is a must ‘see and feel’ experience.
