Modern house, built in 1994; 1950 sq. ft. on 6 acres country setting, Frank Lloyd Wright - inspired design. Hipped roofs and clerestory. Nine miles from the coast. Views of Santa Cruz mountains, rolling site surrounded by coast live oaks with open meadow, watch hawks and swallows by day and listen to owls by night, great for stars and meteor shower viewing. Kids like to sleep on the deck. Complete and utter privacy, sanctuary feeling.Barbecue natural gas on deck, and modern kitchen. Two large bathtubs, one recessed. Views from many windows. Many huge glu-lam beams throughout house. Skylights, high ceilings, loft/view library for the adventurous...Master bedroom on split upper level, with bath, closet, deck. DSL in one bedroom used as internet access. Wireless works within 80' of house. GFI outlets in garden. Landscape architect's own garden, bench swing hung in an old oak, many overlook benches on property, Mediterranean court and fountain, hummingbirds and peace. Three horses. Fenced and separate pastures. 20 x60' dog yard for large dog ( I have a greyhound).

Woodstove and central heating; no air conditioning needed as fog is sometimes around in summer, morning and evening. Generally this is a wonderful property for being outside, not boastingly hot, not freezing with fog, warmer than San Francisco or Santa Cruz.
