Nestled beyond the redwoods, on a private knoll at the end of a quiet road, this custom Thacher & Thompson home delivers something increasingly hard to find, the feeling of being on your own ranch, with an open oak studded meadow stretching around you, with the surf just minutes away. Light floods through the cathedral windows generously, and the custom woodwork connects you to the beautiful natural setting. The kitchen keeps pace with a premium range that makes cooking here a genuine pleasure. Two ensuite bedrooms provide comfort and flexibility. Step outside and the property opens up into something special. A pool and sauna set the tone for long summer afternoons. The gardens are a gardener's dream, with raised beds bursting with possibility and the kind of setup where you actually use what you grow. For friends and family, a 485 sq. ft. single level guest house, complete with heated bathroom floors, awaits. Just beyond the property, hidden hiking and horse trails wind through the nearby hills. Aptos, Manresa Beach, Soquel Demo Forest, Nisene Marks and the Corralitos Wine Trail provide ample fun, from surfing, hiking, world class mountain biking to music and entertainment. The redwoods, the knoll, the quiet. And somehow, still close to everything. You can have it all!
