Artfully designed by renowned architect Thomas Cox of San Francisco, the home is an aesthetic mixture of Arts & Crafts with an Asian flavor. Huge ancient oaks, open meadows & wooded hillsides enhance the beauty & feeling of being one with nature.  The circular drive leads to a stone walkway & towering entry portico. The double doors open to a 14'open beamed great room with floor to ceiling walls of glass, a massive stone fireplace and heart of redwood paneling plus hand crafted redwood sconces. At the opposite end is an equally impressive screened porch overlooking the distant woods. There are three fireplaces, central air conditioning & a great ADT security system. There are custom glass display cases in the family room, burnished Brazilian cherry floors and a semi- detached guest suite that could be easily converted into a new master suite. This guest apartment also boasts a full utility kitchen. Thermopane glass throughout, a gas cooktop in the spacious kitchen, a kid's sleeping loft, a cherrywood tub & mahogany vanity counters & even Indian morteros are a few more treats to discover at this wonderful retreat. Zoned for horses, cattle or llamas, great walking & hiking possibilities are yours to discover.
