THE PROPERTY

After meandering through the gorgeous hillside of coffee plantations and cattle ranches, you will arrive at the gates of ‘Casa Doughty’ and thus begins your vacation in paradise! The home’s exterior space evokes peace and tranquility while providing stunning views of the San Jose and Central Valley both day and night.   Cool off in the swimming pool while surrounded by tropical landscaping, or sit beneath the covered Rancho for a barbeque dinner prepared on the stainless steel grill.

 

 

Stretching the length of the house are lovely covered terraces that look out to the gardens and lead through the courtyard. Sip your morning coffee among the butterflies, watch the sunrise or enjoy evening cocktails with a view of the Central Valley city lights off in the distance.

Through the living room, you’re greeted with high ceilings, modern amenities and all the comforts of home, including a 47-inch high-definition LCD TV featuring international cable with HBO, Cinemax, CNN, ESPN. Make memories in the gourmet fully equipped kitchen, where expansive counters and ample seating are perfect for family dinners with spectacular views of the gardens.

‘Casa Doughty’ has 5 spacious bedrooms, all complete with comfortable queen-sized beds and a satellite TV in the first master bedroom. Atenas has spring like conditions year-round, with highs in the 80’s and lows in the 60’s, but for added comfort both master suites have air conditioning and every room has ceiling fans.
