There are over 400 wineries and tasting rooms in the county: the closest one is Matanzas Creek Winery, about 3 minute away. This is a very quiet neighborhood full of large country properties. Many neighbors grow wine grapes and have horses, chickens, cows etc. There are several lovely hiking trails within a short drive.
Car is preferable. Uber is an option as well. There are also many private drivers who can arrange winery tours for large and small groups, if you want to leave the driving to someone else.
NEIGHBORS: We share a long, private driveway with 1 other neighbor- they are the sweetest people ever but have sadly lost pets to cars going too fast down the shared drive. PLEASE 10 MPH max on the driveway to avoid accidents :-)
WILDLIFE: This a rural, country property set in nature. The frogs in the creek have a lovely chorus in the evenings. You may also hear coyote howling, owls hooting, and wild turkeys doing their gobble gobble thing. Next door neighbors have a pony which you may hear from time to time. PLEASE NOTE: This is a farmhouse in a rural area: insects and mice are an expected and normal part of our ecosystem, although we have regular professional pest control to keep them in check. If you are not comfortable with a bit of biomass, this might not be the right property for you.
