This NEWLY GATED rare Rustic Canyon gem is discreet from the street and sequestered in nature. It rests on roughly 1 acre, totaling 3 APN numbers, and combining 2 addresses, 681 and 689 Brooktree. The 5bd/4.5ba Mid-Century main house and 2bd/2ba farm-style guest house are both turned on their axis to face the creek, which runs along the property. The home has been sensitively restored to its former glory with pine eaves, redwood vertical stringers, and massive Douglas fir beams. This property is for someone who knows the value of privacy, space, architecture, and nature, as the glass walls and numerous vast decks over-look spring fed streams, cascading Koi ponds, and sacred Japanese gardens decorated with Buddhist Tori gates. There is an abundance of fruit trees, including cherry, apricot, Yuzu citrus, and very rare White Persian mulberry. Everything was designed to be ecologically sensitive and low maintenance. Enjoy the pure, endless beauty of this property, and settle down in your own private paradise.
