Very special property, located in the sun above Browns Valley, with ocean views on clear days! Large home with spacious wood floor rooms, pool and separate garage building with bedroom/bath upstairs. 4.3 acres of fruit trees, bamboo and landscaping, fenced to keep the deer out. Gardeners love this place! Trees of apple, kiwi, plum, lemon, persimmon, etc. Property is serviced by spring water and a well for irrigation. Private road with maintenance agreement. Multiple outbuildings, including a 4 stall barn used by 2 horses kept here years ago. 2/3 of the of the former 3 car garage converted to living space but easily could be a 3 car garage again.
