About This Home

As of February 2017

Think Napa and vacations in Provence as you slowly wind your way through the picturesque vineyards and ranches of Pleasant Valley leading to this very special 17-acre European-style retreat. Tucked back in a gated community of six homes, a tree-lined driveway leads to a magical knoll-top setting w/sun, privacy, sweeping valley and distant ocean views. Warm and inviting, flexible floor plan suited to a variety of lifestyle needs including extended family living. Main living is approx 4500 sq ft 4+BR with ground floor master suite, office or 5th BR off the foyer, fabulous kitchen/family room combination, extensive, wraparound view and dining terrace. Downstairs quarters w/bath, wet bar and private entrance adds another 800+ sq ft. 1400 bottle wine cellar and two, 2-car garages. Midway between Silicon Valley & Carmel, approx 12 mins to Starbucks and Safeway, 16 mins to beaches, 46 mins to Carmel and 49 mins to San Jose Airport. A very special property not to be missed!
