Property Overview
Nestled
like a jewel amidst redwood groves, this property is
private, magical and unique. It is rare to find an estate
that combines the glories of nature with state-of-the-art
facilities and architectural style and mystique. The
estate covers 36 acres of pristine redwood groves, ascending
to a small plateau with panoramic views, descending
to the creek below with its tangled roots of trees,
moss coverd banks and boulders. Drivable roads wind
through the woods, passing the different groves, opening
up to a sunny field, or visiting the 200ft redwood on
the property. Wildlife abounds, from the wild deer to
the redtailed hawk, woodpeckers and hummingbirds which
feed outside the kitchen window, to the chorus of frogs
in the ponds. This is the perfect remote retreat for
the lover of nature, while being only 2 and a half miles
from shopping and amenities in historic Boulder Creek,
it has good access by private road and can reach both
San Jose (International airport) and Santa Cruz in approximately
35 minutes.

on the property, which provides the ultimate in privacy
and seclusion. The preservation of nature has been foremost
in the design of this estate. The surrounding landscape
has been sculpted to accomodate the building and a large
pond.The house itself is designed as a temple. A fountain
plays in front of the house with soothing sounds. The
front door is designed in the form of a radiant sun
and covered with a dome of white mosaic tiles. Golden
turrets rising above the blue roofs are among the special
features of this building.
