Imagine the lifestyle you will have living in a completely tranquil setting, within a 5-minute drive to all conveniences of town & a short jaunt to beaches/redwood state parks! This is an ideal commute location & the perfect retreat after a long work day. Comcast hi-spd internet & garden views from the office make this a dreamy setting to work from home. A sunny knoll is a sweet location for the possibility of a 2nd home. Dont miss this rare, full-sun, close-in country opportunity!
