Winding slowly up Senda Ladera, you climb slightly in elevation past small riparian streams, groupings of deer, coveys of quail racing along the road and unexpected openings in the fences or the fields that mark the start of a vast trail system that follows the contours of the green hills and small valleys that flow together in a tapestry of native grasses, dense pockets of forest, sloping pastures, rounded knolls and extended ridgelines.

Still the country lane draws you on and closer to home, unfolding in layers of beauty and emotion with each new turn or juxtaposition. Relaxed. Gentle. Scenic. Quiet. Sunny. Compelling. The approach to home is like an inner and outer labyrinth of intimate meaning carrying you towards the center of your own heart. The home inside the home that provides refuge, safety, comfort and sanctuary for our daily lives.



Reaching the property you first bask in the sounds of silence, hawks circling overhead, sun warming your face, nature opening its arms wide in every direction. Up a long drive, nestled on its own private knoll, framed by the majestic limbs of stately old coastal oaks, is a shining white, two story home dramatic in its custom Mediterranean design, warm and welcoming in its demeanor, intimate and inspiring in the soulful muse of its Mediterranean accents. It is a stunning sight that simply, elegantly, convincingly says - "You have arrived."
