Stan, an artist, horticulturist and landscaper, designed this 1.56-acre property. His gardens contain more than 1,000 plantings and fruit trees. The landscape also features an in-ground pool, a koi pond, three patios, a gazebo and a cabana. The nine-room ranch was rebuilt in 2009 after the original burned down. The great room is equipped with a 50-inch LCD TV with surround sound and a Blu-ray player. They stay, along with most of the interior and exterior furnishings. The house has three to four bedrooms and three full bathrooms with Italian tile. Stan chats some more about the grounds and the house:

" The house and property can accommodate 100 people. . . . The eat-in kitchen has a huge center island, granite counters and maple cabinets... The lower level has a fireplace, a wet bar, with tiki bar with stools and a refrigerator."
