Revered silent monk Baba Hari Dass lived here for 40 years until his passing in 2018.  Baba Hari Dass trained Richard Alpert in India, before Richard changed his name to Baba Ram Dass and wrote 1970's inspirational guidebook "Be Here Now". As expected, the home and grounds are quiet & calming.  This 1 story home is nestled in nature with redwoods, firs, camellias and low maintenance plantings adorning the grounds. The 4 acres will accommodate an ADU of up to 1,200'.  The home is a 3 BR, 2 BA w/ 2 wings on either side of the kitchen, each with a large living/great room area and a full bath. The redwood board and batten siding, the granite outcroppings and the large useable area around the home add to the magic of this property.   A long ago abandoned, in-ground, concrete sculpted, vinyl lined pool could be resurrected if desired, or it could be filled for a deep  gopher proof garden.  The former print shop with terrific natural light could be a GREAT workshop. Come experience the magic!
