"Low and Behold"

Set on 9.29 acres in Los Gatos Mountains,
this gated and private property features a truly storybook, completely updated,
1000sf home and detached 300sf studio. This solar and propane powered, non-conforming home is completely off the grid, though power is close by. A recently paved driveway provides access to the home, continues on to the studio and ends at a canvas sheltered parking area.
Set below the house and out of the line of sight, a separate and paved driveway leads
to an RV or Boat parking site.

Set on charming, immaculately manicured grounds.
Wide garden area features raised flowerbeds, bordered by uniquely shaped and lush flowerbeds. The main house features warm Spanish style tile floors, tasteful tile work in the kitchen and bathroom, new appliances, new carpet, new everything.
An open floor plan makes the house spacious and large picture windows continue the line of sight into the forest and valleys beyond. From the upstairs bedroom you can see across to Castle Rock State Park.
Tasteful and artistic paint color scheme and the seller used nontoxic paints throughout the home. No detail left undone!
The 300 sf studio has been beautifully constructed with a loft area.
Trails lead throughout the property, one of which leads down to a lovely creek side setting
with small waterfalls and swimming holes.

The water sources are a private horizontal well/spring and creek.
This property is inspirational!

$420,000 Owner Financing May Be Available.

-Gas water pump at creek uses about one tank of gas to fill 3/4 water tank.

-Road and driveway repaved one year ago.
-RV Parking area on lower flat could have many uses.
-The area is very mountainous but this property has several small flat areas. Starting by the creek near the bridge there is a flat meadow area that we call the “Zen Spot”. Then as you drive or walk up from there just before you reach the driveway for the cabin there is an area with a paved entrance that is ideal for RV parking. Beyond the RV parking you reach the cabin, close above the cabin there are two more usable flats and if you are ready for a hike there is one more undisturbed flat area that I believe to be on the property. There are other small flat areas but not large enough to note
and there may be others unknown to me.
