These 2.4 acres offer a unique combination of expansive views with plenty of sunlight, and complete quietness and privacy with a tranquil pond shaded by the limbs of heritages oaks.

At the end of a private driveway, 170 Recreation Drive provides the ideal respite from the daily hustle while offering all the modern amenities you can expect in a high-end home located in the middle of a friendly community.

This ranch-style home is nestled in a picturesque setting which includes dramatic rock formations, a magnificent oak tree, waterfall, vegetable and fruit gardens, native plants, chicken coop, paddock for horses with shelter, hay barn, and tack room. There is detached 3-bay garage and workshop plus a 2-car carport. Just past a large, sunny patio you will find your very own creek-fed pond and island.  Miles of hiking, biking, and horse-riding trails are accessible from the property, which connects to several of the Peninsula’s largest open space preserves.

The home has spacious living areas with large expanses of glass that capture the amazing views and pastoral atmosphere. This tastefully updated home features: beautiful solid, hardwood flooring throughout; well-appointed chef's kitchen with Subzero/Viking appliances, dual dish-washer, and pantry; open dining room with views to the hills; large Anderson windows and sliders bring the outside in with tons of natural light.  The cozy living room has vaulted ceilings, efficient wood burning fireplace, and opens to the beautiful outdoors through glass sliding doors on both sides. The attached-garage provides an easy, cost-effective opportunity to expand and create a third bedroom or primary suite with views to the interior patio and heritage oaks (buyer to investigate).
