Stroll the secret gardens at this charming French Chateau perched on the hills above Redlands Country Club! Past the front gate, a tree-covered circular driveway lends a stately air to the home. Past the driveway, a serene, tree-lined path to the front door greets you with beautiful ivy, morning glory, honeysuckle, and roses. An edible garden provides spearmint, chocolate mint, vegetables, and both red and green grapes during harvest season. A separate whimsical brick pathway with a potted garden leads you to an ornate water fountain feature and the perfect outdoor resting or reading nook. Ornamental brickwork adorns the house and the grand portico entryway and atrium, while a leaded glass transom sits above a carved wood front door.
