About this home

LUXURY at an AMAZING PRICE! Forest and Meadows Aptos' coveted neighborhood of luxury custom homes was once a Christmas tree farm before being chosen as the site for some of the finest homes in the county. Stands of towering firs and pines from yuletides past still remain creating a spectacular setting for this truly special property. At five thousand square feet, the home boasts five bedrooms, including a master suite with an additional sitting room and panoramic clerestory windows, three full baths, a library, separate living and family rooms, formal and casual dining areas, an entertainment bar with sink, a large circular driveway, extra-large tandem three plus car garage, a river walk fountain and water fall, swimming pool with spa, a separate guest studio and sweeping green lawns. On a nearly two-acre sun drenched parcel, the home is engulfed by natural beauty, nestled among the texture of the trees, with a timeless and gracious design. Truly a special place to call home.
