Are you up for a challenge? I challenge you to look carefully at the photos: Did you notice all the custom details & finishes throughout? Did you notice how quickly you can get to this country farmhouse off the freeway without dealing with all the poorly maintained county roads? Did you see how you can drive out of the driveway and the road ends at the beach in La Selva? Did you notice the sun-drenched gardening spaces surrounding the home, including an orchard? What about the incredible redwood grove on the property? Did you notice all the private outdoor living spaces? Did you realize that there are five garage parking spaces? What about the potential to add an ADU? Were you able to see the detached gym? What did you think of the outdoor kitchen? How about the chicken coop? How would you feel about having horses here? Can you imagine yourself using the hot tub or sauna? Do you agree that those are the nicest hardwood floors you have ever seen? It is hard to believe that every door has a custom mortise set door lock; isnt that unique? How about those light fixturesdid they make you drool? Did you know the primary bathroom was recently redone? Did you see the views out the windows? Isnt it easy to envision your family living in a home with all of these features?

Agriculture
The purposes of the A Agriculture Zone District are to encourage and provide for noncommercial agricultural uses, such as family farming and animal raising, and to allow limited commercial agricultural activities, on the small amounts of agricultural land remaining in the County which are not designated as commercially suitable, but which still constitute a productive natural resource; to provide for agricultural uses of a higher intensity in rural areas than those allowed in the RA Residential Agricultural Zone District where such use is compatible with the surrounding land uses and the environmental constraints of the land; to maintain options for a diversity of farm operations; to implement the agricultural preservation policy of Chapter 16.50 SCCC; and to maintain productive open space and rural character in the County.
