Offered for the first time in nearly five decades, this exceptional Corralitos estate blends the tranquility of a country retreat with convenient access to Aptos beaches, local wineries, shopping, and Highway1.Originally built in the early1970s, the home was thoughtfully expanded in 2006 by Bay Area architect, Warren Levi Gilbert.
