Think Napa and vacations in Provence as you slowly wind your way through the picturesque vineyards and ranches of Pleasant Valley leading to this very special 17-acre European-style retreat. Tucked back in a gated community of six homes, a tree-lined driveway leads to a magical knoll-top setting w/ sun, privacy, sweeping valley and distant ocean views. Warm and inviting, flexible floor plan suited to a variety of lifestyle needs including extended family living. Main living is approx 4500 sq ft 4+BR with ground floor master suite, office or 5th BR off the foyer, fabulous kitchen/family room combination, extensive, wraparound view and dining terrace. Downstairs quarters w/ bath, wet bar and private entrance adds another 800+ sq ft. 1400 bottle wine cellar and two, 2-car garages. Midway between Silicon Valley & Carmel, approx 12 mins to Starbucks and Safeway, 16 mins to beaches, 46 mins to Carmel and 49 mins to San Jose Airport. A very special property not to be missed!
