Coastal 2 + bedroom retreat surrounded by over 2.3 +/- acres of magnificent gardens. Known as the Thompson Heather Garden, the grounds consist of more than 250 cultivars. Heather was planted in 1986 and proved to be well suited for the growing conditions. Featured in The Smithsonian Garden, Flower & Garden, Garden Design, Home & Garden & Sunset Magazine. A tree house is built in one of the largest Monterey Cypress's in the US. The cypress protects the garden from the winds off the Pacific Coast, 1/2 mile to the northwest. Manchester State Park is minutes away with 18,000 feet of ocean frontage & white sand beaches. This is the site of one of the oldest homesteads (1854) in the area. The working barn from 1932 still stands at the rear of the property. The home features whimsical & quality craftsmanship with soaring ceilings in the living room that beams with natural light from walls of glass. A brick wood burning fireplace in the living room & 2 woodstoves. First time on the market!
