[quote=CA renter][quote=lifeizfunhuh]Thanks everybody! We love the house more and more everyday. There are some remodeling issues (eg green carpet), but overall it is one of those properties that get passed down rather than sold. The prior owner said to me in a recent conversation that “I built that house to never leave it.” It is way way beyond custom. My favorite part is the orchard on the west end of the property. We got about a 10% discount to listing, and estimate that to buy land and rebuild would be several hundred thousand more than we paid. Amazing!
Oh, and its quiet. Last night my wife and I walked the property for the every-night million dollar sunset, and all you hear is frogs, birds, and the breeze. Alpine is AMAZING!!![/quote]

Okay, I just showed the pictures of your property to my husband. With every picture, “Oh, wow!” He said, “Some of the posters on that blog sure do make a lot of money.”

I then asked him how much he thought you paid for it, and he said, “$2.5 million.”

We priced similar properties in Ranch Santa Fe and that is about the going rate. If you don’t need the fancy zip code but want the lifestyle…
