About 120 yards of stone were handpicked from the quarry at Sears Point for stone walls and for the lower level of the house. We’ve added art from our friends over the years.

The back yard and gardens are yours to enjoy. Apple, pear, plum, cherry, and persimmon trees throughout the property fruit through the summer. Ruby-Throated Hummingbirds can be seen in the backyard and from the kitchen window as they dart about the Chinese Lantern flowers. Osprey nests also can be seen from the kitchen, the deck, and the master bedroom. It is a treat to hear their cries as they circle on the thermals gaining altitude to then glide off to catch a meal. When they return, sometimes they are harassed by crows or vultures or both as these thieves try to rob the ospreys of their catch. We have seen battles between the osprey pairs and groups of vultures. Each year several chicks hatch in each nest and the ospreys take turns standing guard as the other one fights off the vultures diving toward them. We are nearby and do our best to resolve any problems immediately. If a light bulb goes, etc., we are happy to take care of it as soon as you let us know.
