With views over the Santa Cruz Mountains, this home screams tranquil country charm. But that doesn't mean it's totally remote. Downtown San Jose lies only a short drive away for you to explore, and so does San Jose Country Club for the golfing enthusiast. Apart from the stretching vistas from the balcony, we also love how bright and comfortable the space is. If you're cooking, you can pick fresh veggies from the greenhouse to enhance tried recipes. Your host can also arrange for little ones to pet piglets and other furry farm friends. With all the makings of an unforgettable family pad, you can see why this is in our collection.

About San Jose
We could tell you how San Jose is one of California’s most historic towns (founded in 1777, it’s the state’s oldest Spanish civilian settlement).
