    What's special

    Ample natural light
    Rustic Ranch Cottage in Almaden Valley | All Utilities Included Nestled at the edge of Almaden Valley, this charming 1-bedroom cottage sits on a large, fully gated lot surrounded by coastal oak trees with Almaden Quicksilver Park directly behind the property and Rancho San Vicente Open Space Preserve right across the street. It's a rare find: a working horse ranch property preserved in its original rustic character, complete with a private stable and pasture. The previous owner was a skilled mason who built much of the property's distinctive brickwork and stone structures by hand. Far enough from the city to enjoy dark skies and Milky Way views on clear nights, yet close to top-rated schools, major freeways, and everyday conveniences. $2,595/Month Water, Electric & Gas Included Property Highlights 1-bedroom cottage with ample natural light All utilities included (water, electric, gas) Large, fully gated lot great for dogs Horse stable and pasture on property No light pollution Milky Way visible on clear nights Handcrafted masonry and brickwork throughout Quiet, safe neighborhood Location Directly across from Rancho San Vicente Open Space Preserve Almaden Quicksilver Park behind the property 5 parks within a 15-minute drive Zoned for Graystone Elementary, Bret Harte Middle & Leland High School ~10 min to Hwy 85 & 87; ~15 min to Hwy 101 via Bailey Rd Costco, Walmart & Westfield Oakridge Mall nearby Availability: Property is undergoing light touch-ups (fresh paint and minor repairs) and will be ready in approximately 2 weeks.
