Welcome to a unique Koi Ponds Retreat & Nature Escape featuring 2 separate units, a Private Master Suite with En Suite and a Cozy Casita Cottage with Full Outdoor Kitchen under the Veranda.
Wake up to your own personal paradise with Koi Ponds, growing fruit trees, and various lounging areas in nearly 3000 sq ft of this private residence in beautiful downtown Fullerton, California.
Step outside the Master Suite into the Veranda for a hearty breakfast using the new white shaker outdoor kitchen. Enjoy your tea or coffee watching the beautiful vivid Koi fish splash and play. Say “Good Morning to Norman”, our life-size fiber glass Crocodile Guardian of the Ponds.
When you stay here you can enjoy the expansive outdoors designed for lounging and entertaining. The ponds water features are a perfect acoustic backdrop for a soak in the Hot Tub.
In the back, about 100 ft from the Master Suite, past the first pond, you can walk under the cape honeysuckle vine to a secret getaway with 6-person dining table and Fire Pit, perfect for roasting s’mores and relaxing under the open sky.
The Cozy Casita’s covered porch and Master’s Veranda are perfect for lounging or entertaining up to 10 people.
Our beloved California Ranch Style home is only a block from a specialty grocery store, and a couple minutes to charming Downtown shops, trendy restaurants, and town-favorites like bootleggers brewery. Right behind the property is the Muckenthaler Cultural Center where popular outdoor concerts take place almost weekly. Nearby is Cal State Fullerton, Laguna Lake Park, and is only 10 minutes to KNOTTS BERRY FARM, SOAK CITY, DISNEYLAND, CALIFORNIA ADVENTURE, and a few minutes more to Anaheim Convention Center, and Angels Stadium.
