The main level features a bright, open living area with an adjoining kitchen, a fireplace, and sliding glass doors that open onto a spacious deck with built in seating. A sunny bedroom with abundant windows, a cozy wood stove, a refreshed full bathroom, and a convenient laundry/mud room complete the first floor.nUpstairs you'll find two additional connected rooms, each with its own closet, along with a sliding glass door leading to a private upper deck overlooking the valley and ocean.

The detached 550 sqft barn provides exceptional flexibility. With a paved floor, electricity, excellent lighting, and a skylight, it's well suited for hobbies, a workshop, fitness space, art or creative studio, home office, storage, or other approved uses.

    "There is a marvelous community volunteer effort here. We have a grange, club for adults, for kids and a volunteer library. We have a cultural center, a farmers market, and nationally famous sausage and meat. It's quiet and unique here. Picture apple orchards meet the redwoods. I adore my neighbors and my sense of safety and the peace."
