Rustic Ranch Cottage in Almaden Valley | All Utilities Included Nestled at the edge of Almaden Valley, this charming 2-bedroom cottage sits on a large, fully gated lot surrounded by coastal oak trees with Almaden Quicksilver Park directly behind the property and Rancho San Vicente Open Space Preserve right across the street. It's a rare find: a working horse ranch property preserved in its original rustic character, complete with a private stable and pasture. The previous owner was a skilled mason who built much of the property's distinctive brickwork and stone structures by hand. Far enough from the city to enjoy dark skies and Milky Way views on clear nights, yet close to top-rated schools, major freeways, and everyday conveniences. $4,495/Month Water, Electric & Gas Included - Waterbeds are generally not allowed. - Missing keys or lockouts cost $50. - Basement storage is allowed, but landlord is not responsible for lost or damaged items. - Roof/fire escapes are for emergencies only. - Tenants get 6 parking spaces for working vehicles only. - Landlord handles major repairs; tenants must report problems and pay for damages they cause. - Landlord pays water/trash; tenants pay electricity, gas, internet, cable, etc. - Late rent after 5 days has a $75 fee.
