End-of-the-road privacy. No windows out your windows. Patios and trails out your doors. The quiet of the canyon where the city doesn’t penetrate. The birds in the trees. Deer in the grass. Where they belong.
It’s sanctuary. Sanctuary from cars whizzing by, from buzz and haste, from lawn mowing and pool cleaning, from other people. Yet with all modern conveniences.
The daily necessities of life, schools, shopping, recreation, freeways, good restaurants, San Francisco International Airport (SFO), even hospitals are just minutes away. From the middle of the peninsula, Silicon Valley, San Francisco and Half Moon Bay are surprisingly close.
Plant a garden on the home’s sunny, level, green roof where the deer can’t reach.
Take a short walk to the Wine Grove for a drink after dinner, for a deep conversation, for a private party with nothing manmade in sight, or just to enjoy the oak leaves dancing in a gentle breeze.
Hang a swing on a long rope from one of the tall oaks below the homesite and be a kid again. Or build a treehouse on the far west end of the main parcel in the perfect oak chosen just for this purpose.
Take your daily walk, run or mountain bike ride on your own trails.
Walk your dog on natural surface trails.
Find a pleasant spot and enjoy it in peace. Watch the shadows move silently across the ground, the leaves dappling the grass in shade. Let their peace flow into you.
The choice is yours.
