Pool With Tennis Court and Gravel Patio

This magical property came with a creek and majestic California-native oak trees. Landscape designers used those elements as a centering point, and styled the rest of the backyard around them. The theme was: eco-adventure resort and the grounds include a pool, tennis court and multiple lounge areas.
