When coming in the 3 mile drive from Highway 17 North after exiting onto Laurel Rd you will be navigating a twisting almost single-lane road at times through the old-growth/re-growth redwood forest on a bit of a corkscrew drive that will be providing you with a unique combination of unlimited scenic views, a beautiful and intriguing road trip, and an easy to get in and out location including the easement road section, that is on private land. This storybook home within a fairy tale setting is at the end of a private redwood forest easement road that serves as a less than a mile long driveway winding up past private properties that share the easement road, a mixture of residential dwellings which are partially obscured from view by vegetation. This Private Easement Road is a nice drive through the redwood forest! Referred to as the "Old Road" on a January 1936 land survey map.

Next, the scenic easement road is less than a mile in length total--there are not a lot of places where you can drive on an unpaved road between soaring coastal redwood trees that can grow as tall as a 30-story building.
