Situated in the foothills amongst a forest of tall trees, waterfalls and exotic plantings sits this beautiful traditional home.

The open-plan living, dining and kitchen have a wood burning fireplace and a wall of French doors opening on to a grand, Wisteria covered veranda. Also opening out is the convertible 3rd bedroom or den. Upstairs is the master suite, office and guest bedroom and 3rd bath. The custom baths feature vessel sinks, glass tiles, stone & custom cabinetry.

The separate guest quarters and bath complete this amazing property.
