No, this isnt the cover of Country Living Magazine - though we suspect that this stunning estate will hear from them soon. Nestled into the sun-soaked hills of Larkin Valley, this gorgeous 8.7-acre property is a self-sufficient country estate: acres of rolling California countryside, horse paddocks, level land, a burgeoning garden, well, septic, plenty of garage space, proximity to Hwy 1, & a 6 min drive to the beach! The quintessential farmhouse facade welcomes you into an open living space illuminated by windows from all angles. Retreats include a potential primary suite on the main level & either of the two luxuriously updated bathrooms (complete with stunning tile & radiant floor heating). The updated kitchen features a sink with a spectacular view of the valley below (you even have a redwood fairy ring that's begging for an epic treehouse). Get more of that valley view out back on the massive deck - a space thats party-ready. Ready to move into a magazine-worthy home?
