Across from Lotusland, behind the welcoming wooden gates of 680 Ashley Road lies a curving gravel drive culminating at a former farmhouse, circa 1910. The shingled home is secluded within tall hedges on a sprawling, flat 2-acre estate with lush grounds, mountain views, quiet and privacy. The turn-of-the-century home has been lovingly maintained, yet offers modern day amenities. Lofty ceilings and French doors lend a bright aesthetic to the first floor, which houses an expansive living room, dining room, and sizable kitchen with sunny breakfast bar. The second floor gives way to three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a cozy TV room, and a pair of sun-soaked patios with mountain views. An ascending staircase leads to a bonus third floor guest bedroom that doubles as playroom or art studio. The parcel is appointed with a charming carriage house and a San Ysidro style guest house that sits at a quiet corner of the estate. Impeccably landscaped, the property is peppered with flourishing ferns, roses, wisteria, mimosa, magnolia, oak, and olive trees, in addition to a family orchard that offers citrus, pomegranate, plum, and apple trees. Flagstone pathways twist through a pool area, quaint cabana, and bocce ball court. The bountiful grounds are fed by a new state-of-the-art water well that offers an output of approximately 35 gallons per minute and the option of using all well water for the house and the grounds. Nothing compares to the charm and provenance of The Oglivy Estate. Property Video: http://www.sudingmurphy.com/680-ashley-road1.html
