296 Blohm Ave, Aromas, CA 95004

On this serene, pastoral land, a delightful COUNTRY COTTAGE overlooks a large SWIMMING POOL, surrounded by an enormous BOTANICAL GARDEN WONDERLAND. It's conveniently located in the friendly town of AROMAS, 25 minutes to Santa Cruz or Monterey, 35 minutes to San Jose, only 15 minutes to Gilroy, and even closer to some outstanding nearby beaches, restaurants, and parks. ONE LARGE BEDROOM / ONE BATH (with shower and big tub) / bright, sunny living and dining room area / gorgeous views of the poolside garden setting, plus a private garden-patio area. A second bonus room can serve beautifully as a single tenant's primary bedroom or a poolside den or office, or a once-in a-while guestroom (It's not-quite a fully-private bedroom, as there's a pass-through potential to other rooms.) Handsome, disappearing double pocket doors between several of the rooms create additional privacy potential or an elegant and spacious open floor plan if desired. French doors lead from one of the bedrooms to its own enclosed, private courtyard garden. Swim in the huge, well-maintained pool, or enjoy the lavish, glistening view of it from your bedroom or den/office in the privacy of your luxurious home. Gardening, exterior maintenance, and pool service are provided at no cost to the tenant. Amenities include quality custom cabinetry; generous, well-designed closets; and dramatic high ceilings; plus dimmable shelf-display lighting and on-the-beam ceiling spotlights controlled conveniently by dimmers installed in each room. Look up! This poolside home features six generous skylights letting the sunshine in. The whisper-quiet central-heating system is hard-to-beat for comfort. But the cast-iron, wood-burning fireplace can really impart a rosy glow on a wintry night! The 2 1/2 acre property is artfully lighted, entirely fenced, impeccably maintained, and conveniently served by a remote-controlled entrance gate. A washer and dryer are included, as well as a large, enclosed auxiliary storage area. Enjoy opulent gardens, sweeping vistas, and a distinctive, organic orchard containing varieties of nearly every fruit imaginable. Make your selection from over a dozen delectable varieties of oranges, tangerines, lemons, and limes. Handpick your personal favorites from at least 25 tempting specimens of apples, pears, and apricots. The broad diversity assures a lengthy, rewarding harvest season. Meander among scores of colorful ornamental trees, including dogwoods, redbuds, magnolias, Japanese maples, crabapples, plums, and flowering cherries, just to name a few. This is a serenely picturesque setting with inviting woodsy pathways and vista points overlooking Aromas' rolling hills, flower fields, and bountiful farmland. The bucolic setting is complemented by the rich, lush backdrop of the adjacent forest. Watch the Amtrak Starlight Express slice across the valley below and disappear again into the oak-studded hillside. And remember to take in the unobstructed sunset display from the top of the property! A small pet is negotiable. Please call 831-588-four two one six. for more information.
