Fabulous views of the Monterey BayAerial view

Hidden behind the security of a stone and wrought iron gate, the long private drive winds across gently rolling acreage leading up to a gorgeous custom home designed to maximize views of the Monterey Bay.     This unique property offers the perfect blend of elegance and comfort,  all conveniently located about 3 miles from Soquel Avenue and 5 miles from the Capitola Esplanade and beaches.

Savor quality materials and custom craftsmanship: copper gutters. mesmerizing rare bubinga waterfall grain columns and flooring in the great room and cabinets in the kitchen.   A dramatic  Michael Eckerman free-standing river rock fireplace reaches from floor to the vaulted, exposed beam ceiling in the great room.     Imagine graciously entertaining gatherings of twenty, fifty or seventy!  - Or,  simply relaxing in your own peacefully secluded retreat.Fireplace by Michael Eckerman, stone sculptor

This 5+ acre estate is fully fenced for chickens, sheep, goats, alpacas, etc., and there's a well-built barn plus an alley for trucks or trailers.   There's about a half acre plateau where a horse may be possible, a hobby vineyard is another possibility.

With fabulous southern exposure, the solar system means electrical bills are about $10 a month!     The home has been set up with a generator transfer switch, there are two propane tanks, and the productive well has been carefully maintained.     The home is presently served by SurfNet, and Comcast is available about 50 feet away.

 

Meandering gardens feature an imported English Hartley Botanic greenhouse, a variety of mature roses, blooming perennials, sequentially blooming lilacs and daffodils, a citrus grove, Tokay grapes and raised beds for your vegetable gardens.   The gardens are fully deer fenced!     A Peony garden sits at the far corner of the property with additional raised beds.     Don’t miss the hidden, cyclamen-bordered trail to the gazebo near the upper border of the property!   The concrete structure is reminiscent of the Alameda de las Pulgas Water Temple.

Hi M.C.

Kinda late to this party - what a gorgeous property. Great views, lots of space inside and out! I hope that by now you have a contract in place, or perhaps have even closed!

This is my kind of place, and I love the views. I could make good use of that greenhouse, too.

Hi Debbie Laity thanks for stopping by!     It is a gorgeous property: feels totally private and out in the country, yet just minutes to the nearest city.    The views of the Monterey Bay are mesmerizing.     The previous owner kept their orchids in the greenhouse...I'd be tempted to put an avocado tree in there too!
