This hidden Laguna Gem features a 2.5 acre garden with over a dozen unique trails and a pristine Mid-Century Modern home build by Knowlton Fernald in 1958 on the slope of Boat Canyon. Tucked under towering Torrey Pines\, planted from one gallon saplings in 1959\, there are over 600 plant species of which about 150 are California natives. \; The wondrous variety of plantings gives the garden color and texture during every season. The walls of glass \;of this home offer breathtaking ocean views. The original furnishings give the home a rare authenticity\, fitting of a true Laguna artist. \; The Aviary Gallery features an exhibit of the original renderings of the home drawn by the architect in 1958.
