Accessory Dwelling (Future)

A 2+ acre portion of this incredible estate is set aside for the development and construction of a completely private accessory dwelling with up to 1,200 square feet of living area. This home would be built in a wooded glen of valley oaks and live oaks approximately 500’ from the main house. This area is completely private and cannot be seen from the main house or casita.

The area is accessed by a lovely meandering trail that begins on the pool deck adjacent to the casita. Preliminary drawings are available for a 2BR, 2Ba home with full kitchen and great room that all look out to scenic Coyote Canyon and the Hill Ranch – both scenic areas encompass thousands of acres of permanent open space.

This home could be an in-law home, live-in caretaker’s residence, or a rental property. There is sufficient flat area adjacent to the proposed accessory dwelling to create a tennis court, large garage, or barn. Horses are approved in this area.
