RARE, very rare Old Mission Peninsula property - 150 of sandy beach on West Bay with 2.4 acres of privacy. Overlooking sunsets, the march of storms crossing the bay and fabulous views from this mid-century modern one-level living house with a big old barn for all your toys. More than enough room to build a second home - and use existing one for guest house. The water drops off nicely for swimming AND your boat options. Tucked into a quiet nook of the Old Mission peninsula but just around the corner from delightful restaurants and vineyards. Old Mission school just up the road.
