Discover what it's like to live in tandem with nature as you explore the private 6.41 acre property to find panoramic ocean & mountain views, meandering creek, & a hidden island. 1 of 3 structures on the property, the 3bd/3ba single-level rancher balances classic country living w/ breathtaking ocean & canyon views. 1 bed, 1 bath guest cottage sits alongside Toro Canyon Creek.
