Property Description

Wake up above the clouds in this peaceful Bonny Doon sanctuary, where modern design meets soulful craftsmanship. From the moment you step inside, you're surrounded by natural wood details, including reclaimed, live-edge trim and artisan-crafted countertops. Gaze out the expansive windows to catch ocean views, glowing orange sunsets, and star-filled night skies. Upstairs, the master suite feels like a retreat, with a deep soaking tub under a skylight, a curb-less walk-in shower, and a balcony that begs for morning coffee just steps from your personal beverage station/wet bar. Feel the warmth underfoot from the radiant heat flooring. In the winter, cozy up by the fireplace, and in the warmer months. The home is solar-powered, with battery backup, an EV charger, engineered septic, and a full fire sprinkler system. There are approved plans for a detached 2 car garage with a 1 bedroom ADU above offer long-term flexibility and rental potential. Includes a permitted yurt that could be a home office, artist studio, wellness space, or income-producing setup for retreats or rentals. Whether you're looking for a fresh start, a 2nd home, a weekend hideaway, or a home that honors the land while leaning into "what's next" this one is worth the drive up the mountain.
