AN ESTATE DESIGNED FOR ELEGANCE AND VERSATILITY
The beautiful landscaped front yard welcomes you with
new lawn turf and pavers, providing the perfect setting for
refined gatherings or leisurely afternoons. The backyard
has been artfully reimagined with lush artificial turf, two
concrete “boardwalks,” and two elegant fountains, creating a
versatile space for relaxation or hosting events. Enhancing the
outdoor appeal are two Har-Tru clay tennis courts, ready for
restoration, and mature apple and pear trees, adding a natural
touch to the estate’s grandeur.
A HISTORIC HOME WITH MODERN COMFORTS
Originally constructed in 1871 as a replica of Abraham Lincoln’s
Springfield home, this 3,000-square-foot house was moved
to its current location in 1997 and carefully restored. While
maintaining its historic Neo-Georgian architecture, the home
now offers modern luxuries for today’s discerning homeowner.
A BLEND OF HISTORY AND LIFESTYLE
Originally the home of Frederick and Catherine Th?rwachter,
early settlers of Watsonville, the estate holds a rich historical
narrative. Frederick, an enterprising farmer, and Catherine,
known for her strength and integrity, raised their family while
cultivating sugar beets, apples, and other crops. The home’s
robust construction, featuring old-growth redwood and a
foundation of redwood rounds, has preserved its integrity
for generations. The 1997 relocation brought new life to the
house, though some original elements, like its three-story brick
fireplaces, were lost during the move. Today, restored with care
and featuring secure, keyless entry, the estate offers the perfect
balance of historic charm and modern convenience.
