A rural 5 acre retreat and private enclave with custom-crafted home, guest home and studio compound nestled serenely in the heart of the Santa Cruz Sandhills - one of the most unique natural settings found anywhere on the Central Coast, making up more than 550 acres of surrounding open space known as the Bonny Doon Ecological Reserve. A personal refuge and a remarkable window on the world seen through the close-up lens of geologic time that infuses the present with a strong sense of connection cultivated by the mindful stewardship of both life and life-style.
Located at the end of a long gated drive that winds peacefully through a riveting landscape of uplifted marine terraces and ancient dunes formed more than 20 million years ago. Giving rise to today’s unexpected and awe-inspiring rock formations, broad swathes of silver-tipped manzanitas and vast array of rare plant and animal species that have led some to call this singular habitat the "Galapagos Islands of Santa Cruz."
