What would it feel like to come home to this? Set on half an acre backing directly to the 14th hole at Pasatiempo, a Top 100 golf course in the U.S., this home has been rebuilt around the view. Vaulted ceilings and a fireplace anchor the living room, while a wall of accordion doors folds completely away, opening beneath a stand of redwoods to a deck that seems to hover over the fairway. Mornings begin with coffee and a quiet course, light moving across the grass as deer, foxes, wild turkeys, bunnies, hawks, and even eagles pass through the landscape. Its a rare connection to nature that makes the setting feel different every day. Inside, generous counters and natural light make the kitchen an easy place to gather. Evenings settle in around the fire or on the lower patio, where two bocce courts invite you to stay outside a little longer. For all the open green beyond the glass, the setting still feels remarkably private. Highway 17 is minutes away, the beach is within easy reach, and one of the country's top golf courses is quite literally your backyard. A home designed for slowing down, entertaining well, and enjoying an extraordinary setting every day.
