The Shaul Ranch is a rare combination of elegance, privacy, views, and forest ownership. The 6,000+ sq ft home sits at the northern end of Camelback Ridge with dramatic views of Clear Lake, Big Valley, Mt Konocti and the Mendocino National Forest in the distance. Access to the home is over a 1 mile paved private road behind an electronic gate. You would be hard pressed to find a forest anywhere in Northern California with better fuel management than this ranch. Tree spacing has been carefully selected and forest floor routinely mowed. Result has been a golf course effect, most of the upper ridge is gently sloped allowing the owner to drive through their forest and enjoy the entire property. Two wells supply water, with the water system designed around 7,000 gallons of storage for domestic use and a 20,000 gallon tank for fire protection. Fire hose hookups are available and rain bird sprinklers are installed on the tile roof for added protection. Home has excellent fuel clearance with almost one acre of carefully designed landscaping around home. The home itself is one of the most beautifully designed structures in Lake County. Large windows allow the owner to enjoy the views from every room. As you walk into the front door, the first thing you see is the elegant spiral staircase leading to the 2nd floor. Walk around this and you step down into the sunken living room with gas fireplace and postcard views of Clear Lake. Going from room to room you can't help but be impressed by the attention to detail, from the carefully chosen silk rug from Turkey to the cut glass and marble in the bathrooms. Sellers use the upstairs landing as a gym, and you won't find a gym with better views anywhere. Such a beautiful home needs protection after a hard day working out side, so a mud room is located off of the breezeway from the garage. This is a full bathroom with laundry room, so you can change, shower, and throw the work clothes in the laundry before entering the main house. Each guest bedroom has it's own bathroom. For outdoor entertaining a gas firepit is installed, a stainless steel outdoor kitchen, and swimming pool. Seller is an avid golfer, so he designed a driving range behind the house. A large shop is on the property for equipment work or storage. Sellers are looking to downsize, so all furniture and forest maintenance equipment can be included in sale. Too many features to list in the space provided here, be sure to look at all of the photos.
