MAIN RESIDENCE + BONUS STUDIO! Set on 2.93 private acres among the redwoods, this unique Boulder Creek property offers nearly 2,500 sq. ft. of combined living space, with 5 bedrooms and 4 full baths between the main residence and a detached bonus studio. The approximately 450 sq. ft. studio sits privately above the detached garage with its own entrance, kitchen, full bath, and parking, a flexible space for guests, a home office, or extended family. Recent improvements add value, including a roof about two years old and a generator hookup. The primary suite features a new walk in shower, and abundant closets throughout provide exceptional storage. A paved private road leads to a driveway that circles a redwood fairy ring, where wraparound decking overlooks the surrounding forest. The gently sloped, usable acreage offers room to explore, garden, create a playground, or embrace a homesteading lifestyle, with three fenced corrals and a barn already in place. So many features make this home stand out from the rest. IT'S A MUST SEE! Bed, bath, and square footage include the bonus studio, which is not reflected in county records. Buyer to verify square footage and permits to their satisfaction.

Remarkable property just minutes from Saratoga and even closer to the town of Boulder Creek. Majestic redwoods stand sentry awaiting the arrival of the fortunate new caretaker. Custom Built about 1978 utilizing the native forest for all the open beams. Interior T and G Con heart redwood all hand selected. Custom kitchen recently created by current owner. The studio unit above the double car detached garage is currently rented below market that would be closer to $2,000, adds value and utility. Reverse Osmosis drinking water is the best.
