Beautiful estate of 14 acres (5.5ha) right up against a 750acre (300ha+) natural preserve!
This property is in excellent condition, maintained in top shape by the current caring owners. It includes a main house, a full second guest house with its own kitchen, and a wing with two guest rooms with a shared bathroom, making this ideal for families who receive guests, would like to rent out part of the property, families with grown children, etc. The layout of the main house however also lends itself to more compact living for a couple or smaller family. The service quarters include two separate bedrooms with shared bathroom, and small living area.
A caretaker´s house separate from the main house and guest house and rooms doubles as a gatehouse, and includes three bedrooms. It also includes storage, a garage for the property´s side-by-side, and bathroom for external service/garden staff. Water is both city and private deep-well, and there are various large holding tanks.
This hacienda style estate moreover includes a beautiful swimming pool and pool house with a fully equipped kitchen and bar, and plenty of space to gather friends and family. It also includes stables, a covered garden with cement planters for all the vegetables and herbs you can imagine, and a covered lounge area by the stables and garden. A small lookout structure graces the top of the hill abutting the natural reserve, offering sprawling views to the Central Valley and rising sun beyond it to the East.
The quality of build and maintenance is evident throughout, from the gardens to the finishes inside the house and the use of different materials that work nicely together. This estate really is an impressive property and a pleasure to enjoy.
