The space
This 3,500 square foot home has four bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms. There are amazing views from literally every room in the house! Upstairs you will find three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The primary suite is located upstairs and includes a 55 inch Samsung Frame TV, private balcony, double futon sofa bed, king bed with down bedding, Nespresso machine, and a mini fridge. You will also find an additional small desk that can double as a makeup vanity. The en suite bathroom has heated stone flooring, and extra large soaking tub set under a giant picture window (stargaze with a glass of wine in the tub!), and a separate two person shower with body jets.

The second bedroom upstairs also has a king bed, mini fridge and a Keurig coffee machine. Views from this room are also exceptional. Directly across the hall from this bedroom there is a full bathroom.

The third bedroom upstairs is the "bunk room." This room has two sets of full over full bunk beds that also include two twin pull out beds underneath. If children are sharing this room you could fit a maximum of 10!! There are a lot of windows in this room with beautiful views and a sweet reading nook with a papasan chair and canopy.

Downstairs there is a very large sunken living room with tall ceilings and a beautiful stone wood burning fireplace. There is also a very comfortable leather sectional that can be rearranged to accommodate your group. Three sets of french doors are located in the living room that open up to two different outdoor patios. The majority of the downstairs has gorgeous saltillo tile flooring.

The dining and kitchen share the same room. Another 55 inch Samsung Frame tv is located in the dining room. The Restoration Hardware farmhouse table can accommodate 12 guests. Create feasts with your family in the chef's kitchen that includes a six burner Viking range, extra large island with four barstools, Vitamix blender, Instant pot, Kitchenaid mixer and everything you need to make the meal of your dreams. There are two sets of french doors that lead the backyard patio.

The fourth bedroom is located on the main floor. This room has a large sofa that can convert into three twin beds or one queen and one twin. We have had several families and also couples enjoy this room. If this does not need to be a bedroom it can be used as a separate tv/gaming/study room. In this room you will find a smart tv, standing desk and an entire wall of bookshelves. This bedroom also includes a set of french doors that open onto a small deck. Just outside there is an outdoor shower. *If your party needs this to be a bedroom please let us know and we will have the beds set up for you upon your arrival.

Directly across the hall from this bedroom there is a full bathroom.

The garage/game room/laundry area is located down the opposite hall. This a finished garage that includes two sets of brand new washer/dryers, ping pong table, folding desk with stools, mirror with ballet bar, sofa and a basketball hoop game. Directly outside is the outdoor shower. Perfect for rinsing off after a day of surf at Rincon or from romping around the ranch!

The front yard is a beautiful oasis of fragrant flowers and roses, breakfast bistro table, rockers, hammocks, swings and lounge chairs. Sun bathe, bird watch, or enjoy your morning coffee while listening to the beautiful water from the outdoor fountain.

Just off the living room is another small patio that includes two hanging swings. There are many reading nooks at Stella Vista and these chairs are a favorite spot for that.

The backyard has a patio with a Traeger grill (the absolute best!!!), sofas, fire pit table, and a dining table with benches under the jacaranda tree. There is also a telescope set up for you so you can star gaze. On a clear night the stars at Stella Vista are absolutely fabulous!

This home is a place for refuge, for reconnecting, for rest, and for making memories. We love it so much and we hope you do too!!

*** A couple things to note before booking: The driveway leading up to our home is long and steep. It can be very intimidating for the first time, but we have seen many vehicles of all shapes and sizes make it up just fine. So "just keep going!"

** If you have toddlers you will need to keep an eye on them in the backyard because of the steep slope. There is no fence.

** This is a high fire area. Absolutely no smoking or bonfires are permitted. The Traeger grill should be only be on when someone is home.

** Even though the home is out in the country we do still have neighbors. No loud parties or noise outside after 10pm. This is our family home please treat it with respect. :)
