Overview
Description
Supplements: ... (Read more) included elements drawn from Swiss and Japanese techniques. At this time, the property had wells with such high quality water that folks would come from miles around to fill their mason jars. Around 1917, the family formed the Ogilvy Artesian Water Company to bottle their water and the company lasted for almost 30 years until 1937. Today this inviting compound includes over 2 acres of land with the main residence of approximately 5750 sf and an additional 1600 sf in 4 detached ancillary structures: an office/guest suite, art studio, yoga studio and a 1-bedroom /2 bath guest house with a serene, private outdoor deck and dining area. Sited down a private lane behind gates on a mostly flat parcel you will discover: • dazzling landscaping • expansive lawns • a family orchard with (13) different types of fruit trees • organic vegetable gardens • over 200 rose bushes • old-growth specimen trees, including the huge Norfolk Pine • spectacular mountain views. Also gracing this estate is a lighted bocce ball court, a large covered swimming pool plus a pool room with kitchenette. The covered front wrap-around porch welcomes guests as if stepping into a bygone era of ease and tranquility. Upon entering the foyer, the beautiful clear Douglas Fir floors set the stage for the lovely interiors with large sun-drenched windows, many charming built-ins, tall-beamed ceilings, antique fixtures collected from around the world, updated plumbing and electrical and a fabulous eat-in kitchen with restored Magic Chef range, farm sink and more. Upstairs is the light and bright master bedroom suite with fireplace, gorgeous bathroom and spacious private balcony that includes an outdoor shower.
