Surrounded by a magnificent grove of Redwood trees, this home has the air of a very sophisticated campsite in the woods.

The cluster of structures steps up the gentle slope, with a stone walkway leading past the detached garage to the main house.

On the exterior, Redwood board-and-batten siding on the exterior is topped by a standing-seam metal roof punctuated by a progression of dormers.

The board-and-batten is carried into the attached screened porch, complete with a pass-through that connects directly to the adjacent kitchen.

Inside, a vaulted great room houses the living and dining spaces, as well as an open kitchen. A ship’s ladder leads to an upper-level loft, and a short set of stairs leads to a master bedroom tucked behind the living room.

The tightly constructed interior includes several unexpected features, including a laundry room door inset into the kitchen cabinetry and a loft railing with an integrated gate for furniture placement.

This small retreat is designed with two zones – one with a kitchenette, and one housing a bunk room and poker room.
