History

Established in 2008.

The Schneider’s built the house in 1991. It is 5,000 square feet of hilltop magnificence. 300 degrees of amazing views an «away from it all» feeling while being just 11 minutes from the freeway junction of ²⁴⁄₆₈₀. The house is decorated in Early California artifacts including a real stuffed bear. Many amenities, gourmet kitchen, gas BBQ, sauna, hot tub with great view off the front deck, endless pool in the back courtyard patio. The interior is furnished with antiques and luxury linens. Propane provided for the large BBQ, setting perfect for small events.

Shaping this house into it’s current condition was a labor of love and rather than sell it we fund our retirement through vacation rentals. Always the «party house» we decided to offer this special house for others to enjoy. And they do!
