Handcrafted Redwood Cabin Retreat at Magic Springs

This log cabin showcases traditional craftsmanship and a serene setting among the redwoods. Completed in 2014 by builder Lyndon K. Meader, the home reflects artisanal construction rarely found today. Nearly every detail was shaped by hand, from the railings and balusters to the carefully joined logs. Much of the wood was cut on site, while other components were crafted in Meader’s woodworking shop in Gilroy and transported to the property. The result is a thoughtfully built cabin where attention to detail is evident throughout.

Inside, vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and clerestory windows bring in natural light and frame tranquil forest views. The kitchen features custom cabinetry and butcher block counters, while the loft and dining area create flexible, welcoming spaces. The main bedroom overlooks the trees, and a covered porch provides a quiet place to enjoy the outdoors.

Thoughtful updates enhance daily comfort. Utilities include generator power, a water pressure pump, a spring-fed holding tank with auto shut-off, a new toilet, and an Avalon Tree of Life propane heater (Oct. 2007)

The property also includes a small storage shed, ideal for tools or supplies, and it houses the generator that powers the cabin when needed. Durable log construction, and thoughtful design ensure long term comfort. Outside, a picnic area and nearby trails extend the living space into nature, making the cabin a peaceful retreat in Magic Springs, Gilroy.
