The 3,829 sq ft main home offers 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, high ceilings, exposed beams, and expansive windows framing the redwoods. The chefs kitchen with a large island opens to a light-filled living and dining room with a river-rock fireplace. A ground-floor family room with woodstove connects to a sunroom overlooking the pool, while the primary suite opens to a private deck. A crows nest room with its own sundeck offers additional versatile space. The separate 1,671 sq ft guest house features 2 bedrooms plus an office, vaulted ceilings, skylights, and treehouse views. Natural stone terraces, gardens, a custom chicken coop, goldfish pond, and room to expand the garden or orchard enhance the outdoor setting. Carport and lower driveway provide additional parking.
