Both the main house and casita feature beautiful hand crafted, carved southwestern doors made by the latest owner who was a woodworker of some renown. His adobe shop is spacious and has a 1/2 bath. On the property is a two-story barn which has been converted to a studio/shop. The lower barn was for horse and buggy. it has power but no plumbing. There is a 2-car carport connected to a storage structure that serves as garden shed. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to love and care for an exceptional Estate in beautiful Santa Cruz. The main house is reported by local old-timers to have been a rectory for a French priest who served at the historic La Iglesia de Santa Cruz de la Canada Church which was built in 1773. It is about a half mile from the home. He reportedly planted several nut trees on the property. an over 100-year-old bearing pecan tree is still standing. A stately St Francis carved by noted wood carver, Henry Austin from one of those trees watches over.
