Welcome to a place to gather, unwind and recharge. Just 5 minutes from the heart of Monterey, this serene property spans over 13 acres of peaceful woodlands at the end of a quiet country road, providing a true haven for family and friends. Surrounded by perennial gardens, a natural pond, and an expansive forest, this home embraces both indoor and outdoor living. The Great Room is perfect for gatherings and features a grand stone fireplace, a cozy sleeping loft and a wall of windows and doors that lead to a stone patio. A second, more intimate living area with its own fireplace and exposed beams is situated just off the kitchen and dining room, opening onto a deck and a screened porch. The entire length of the house enjoys westerly views of a lush pond fed by the Buck River.
