About This Home

As of May 2020

This nearly four-acre estate Robroy Lodge is located in the private community of Middleton near La Honda, in the center of Portola Redwoods State Park. This light-filled, vintage redwood log home has been artfully updated for a one of a kind experience. This 2 bedroom, 3 and a half bath property includes a 1,650 square foot main home and spacious bonus guest house, both accompanied by spectacular views of old growth redwoods and expansive gardens. Two tranquil meadows on the property are ideal for outdoor entertaining. Enjoy the pristine and peaceful setting outdoors while stargazing from the jetted spa on the 2000-plus square foot Ipe deck. With private walking trails on the property, a tranquil creek and surrounding redwood forest, this home could be your personal Shangri-la, escaping the hustle and bustle of the Bay Area.
