Everywhere--from the time you arrive in the Laurel Community via Laurel, Redwood Lodge, or Schulties Rds and the time you go--you'll have been immersed in jaw-dropping landscapes and scenery. This extraordinary and well designed home with panoramic redwood forest views is situated adjacent to several magnificent old-growth redwoods harbored in stunning groves. The minute you step inside you see the redwoods from every window. Spend time sprawled out on the couch in this well-maintained property relaxing and enjoy the awesome view of the redwoods from the wall of windows, glance up to the soaring ceiling and through the skylights and catch sight of the spectacular old-growth redwoods as sunlight filters through the dense green canopy! The property has 360-degree views of the surrounding forest. Commutable to Silicon Valley, Santa Cruz, or Capitola! Fully furnished, 12 month or longer lease preferred. Access is via the Private Easement Road whose use is restricted to a limited number of individuals. A very special property in the Los Gatos Mountains. As you turn onto a private road let the world stay behind you. Beneath a forest canopy of redwood trees relax your senses, and in a short couple of turns you have arrived! Breathtaking wild and natural beauty, idyllic charm, incredible views, space to spread out and, in a gorgeous setting that looks like a memorable illustration out of a children's book! Experience the natural beauty, crisp greenery and stillness. Commute to SFO/beyond with hybrid work schedules! Clover like verdant redwood sorrel, stately oaks and colorful deciduous abound, pine and a loquat tree too! Scenic drives through the redwoods included as a bonus. When coming in the 3 mile drive from Highway 17 North after exiting onto Laurel Rd you will be navigating a twisting almost single-lane road at times through the old-growth/re-growth redwood forest on a bit of a corkscrew drive that will be providing you with a unique combination of unlimited scenic views, a beautiful and intriguing road trip, and an easy to get in and out location including the easement road section, that is on private land. This storybook home within a fairy tale setting is at the end of a private redwood forest easement road that serves as a less than a mile long driveway winding up past private properties that share the easement road, a mixture of residential dwellings which are partially obscured from view by vegetation. This Private Easement Road is a nice drive through the redwood forest! Referred to as the "Old Road" on a January 1936 land survey map. See Google/Apple Maps for the intersection of Laurel, Schulties, & Redwood Lodge Rds. To recap, from Laurel Rd coming in the three miles from Hwy 17 North you'll be on an almost single-lane road at times through the redwood forest and you will end up at the intersection of Laurel, Redwood Lodge, and Schulties Rds. Private Easement Road, a nice drive that is less than a mile long on a private road in a beautiful area. Enjoy fresh air and orange rays of sunlight through the redwood trees in the forest. At first the Private Easement Road is a paved road, then the final piece, for .6 miles or so, it is a dirt & gravel road, & only in a very few places is it a bit wedged in tight in between the beautiful redwood trees that surround the area. The road winds. Google/Apple Maps will send you the best/fastest way to where the three roads meet; located in the southern part of Los Gatos all the roads into the Laurel Community i.e. via Laurel, Redwood Lodge, or Schulties Rds are twisting and almost single-lane roads at times as they wind through the redwood forest, where some old-growth coast redwoods remain. Next, the scenic easement road is less than a mile in length total--there are not a lot of places where you can drive on an unpaved road between soaring coastal redwood trees that can grow as tall as a 30-story building. Treasured coast redwoods are some of the world's oldest and largest living things. Not only do the old-growth redwoods provide a tranquil forest canopy in this private and surreal setting, they bestow a wonderfully mild spicy scent with earthy undertones that comes and goes as it pleases. It is dreamy-it feels not quite real! As you walk the natural soft redwood duff is delightfully spongy and porous due to the stiffness of the redwood leaves and twigs and absorbs sound in the decaying dark green needles the length of fingernails, leaves and flowers. Cones the size of marbles often grow out of sight near the tops of the trees. Enjoy the beautiful illuminating bright green shade loving redwood sorrel ground cover and there's wildlife galore, deer often visit daily! Soaring redwoods with thick furry corrugated red-hued bark and luminous verdant lush brush like needles! This isn't just any redwood forest, it is one that is commutable to Silicon Valley! Perhaps redwood forests are one of the most beautiful forests that our country has to offer? The road is narrow at times and the last .6 or so of a mile to the house is unpaved (dirt & gravel) but it sure is beautiful! It is a dirt & gravel road set between redwood trees--it traverses the heart of this redwood forest! Monterey is a hop skip and a jump; and, San Francisco, a cultural center of northern California, is in reach. Added bonus: Every day living in this magical natural wonderland, among other things, amazing panoramic scenic drives through the redwoods! It's like a dream come true! A priceless opportunity
