Socially Distant Yet Close-in; Great Roads, Wildlife, Hot-Tub, Polite Pets OK

Above the fog line yet an easy drive to beach, town, and all major highways this one-level house (Vacation Rental Permit # 11159 expires 9/15/2025) has a detached office and garage with electric car port and overlooks a gorgeous private meadow surrounded by forest with distant views of the coastal mountains. A monumental 350-year-old coastal oak tree (10,000 sq ft canopy) shades an enormous deck that transitions to multiple gardens on 2 1/2 acres. The open floor plan surrounds the chef's kitchen. Spending time in the hot tub, the meadow room with char-pit or outdoor garden shower are guest favorites. Upland vistas are a short hike, where as, world class destinations like San Fransisco, Carmel, Monterey, Cupertino and Oakland are all easy day trips. Tucked up against the Zyante Sand Hills Habitat and the Quail Hollow Ranch Equestrian Park wildlife on parade is the norm. Swimming holes are near, as is the fabulous salt-water pool and club house at the Trout Farm Inn. Some of the best music venues found in the central coast are hidden gems on the mountains.

House:
-The master's suite contains a large four-poster bed, a free-standing gas fireplace, and a low-curb walk-in stone tile shower.
-The guest room has a comfortable pillow-top queen bed and a little extra storage.
-The third bedroom is quite small containing a bunk bed plus the pullout trundle (all three are single beds). Our smallest fans will find a toy box under the desk in the closet.

Yard:
-The hidden kitchen garden is protected by tall deer fence, planted with fresh vegetables of the season, herbs, and fruit. Please help us by keeping the gate closed and the deer out.
-The meditation area, with Buddha house and fountain, is a great place to read or enjoy a private conversation.
-The meadow room, built from the tops of redwood trees and a floor of Santa Fe slate is surrounded by beautifully maintained landscaping. There is a fully screened fire pit with this roasting rack to melt dessert or grill the late-night bite.
-Hot tub and Garden Shower are romantic and a fun way to end the day.
