PRIVATE SHOWINGS BY APPOINTMENT • OFFERED FOR $1,895,000 A long private drive traces a gentle arc around a renowned 7.5 acre heritage vineyard, set within the larger embrace of an expansive 23 acre parcel notable for its park-like setting adorned with beautiful redwoods, pines and madrones. The property's slow meander comes to rest at a perfectly-scaled single level home nestled onto a broad knoll that provides commanding views of the vineyard's cascading terraces below as well as the sweeping horizons of the distant foothills that stretch all the way to the highest summits of the Santa Cruz Mountains. The 3 bedroom (w/separate office), 2.5 bath, 2300 square foot single level California Ranch house originally built in 1965, was lovingly remodeled and painstakingly renovated in 2005 to move it graciously forward towards it's next, more modern iteration – one that will last for decades to come. It's open, light-filled spaces offer a relaxed, casual lifestyle geared to those longing to reconnect to nature and the authentic experience of daily life – in the heart of a small town community defined by it's strong sense of place.
