This beautiful retreat can be used as a large family home or B&B. Nestled in the cloud forest
mountains 20 minutes north of San Ramon. As you drive up you are greeted by a large custom
four panel gate that opens up to a parking area that can fit four vehicles. When exiting your
vehicle, you will notice the spectator view of the valley and mountains including 4 dormant
volcanoes. After pulling yourself away from amazing views of the surrounding scapes, you
head to the front door.
As you open the steel front door with a six point locking mechanism and walk into the large
foyer, you are met with over 100 ft long by 12 ft tall landscape murals valued at over $12,000

orchids, sloths and a beautiful turn of the century chapel on a resort seen from this mountain.
