An acre of lush gardens surround this picturesque and historic estate built in 1860 by James Waters. Waters, a pioneer nurseryman of Watsonville, exported the first strawberries out of Pajaro Valley to San Francisco. In 1897 William Weeks, a legendary local architect, provided additional add-ons further enhancing Copper Beech’s charm. Mr. Waters planted a variety of rare trees and beautiful vegetation which serve as a destination for many migratory birds. The property has remained their sanctuary for over a century.
