Let's start with the property...this is a nicely secluded 5 acre parcel at the 2,500 foot elevation with gentle terrain and a great coverage of mature oaks, buckeyes, and conifers. The front portion of the property has been setup for horses with cross-fenced pasture areas, shades, water, and even an area for a large round pen (the round pen fencing has been removed but the gross area is still fenced). Water has been piped extensively through the property and there are dedicated areas for fruit trees and vines plus a separate fenced garden area. The home was placed near the center of the property and has been extensively landscaped with chainlink fenced lawns, flower gardens, walking paths, and a neat creek style water feature that flows down to the back patio. Finally, a garden path leads from the home up to the highest point on the property to a great above ground pool and full deck structure set amidst some unique rock formations providing a neat party area for outdoor parties and BBQ's in the summer. Also, with it's western view, you have a great place to relax and enjoy our spectacular sunsets. On to the home...

And what a home it is...with its totally private setting, the 3,160 square foot structure has a unique passive solar design that lets in the winter sun and deflects the hot summer rays by use of high set ceilings with south facing custom windows. The home also has a brand new HVAC system plus 2 wood burning fireplaces (one in the master bedroom and one in the family room/library) plus a pellet stove in the living room. The home has two large off bedrooms each with its own bath plus a large isolated master suite. The large, modern and open kitchen is fully appointed with custom cabinetry and a separate area for dining. The very cozy living room is open to and adjacent to the kitchen. The huge family room/library can be accessed from both the kitchen and the bedroom hallway. It features a corner fireplace plus custom full wall bookshelves and cabinets on two walls. There is also a large sunroom, utility room, and storage room. The entire home has custom dark adobe style tile floors. The high ceilings and windows make this a very open and cheery home.

Adjacent to the home is an oversize 848 square foot garage with a workshop area and a second story loft room. The interior of the garage is unfinished. And...there is a complete RV hookup for your friends and family to use when they come to visit.

As always, we talk about any negative features. The property is on an elevated plateau area about 5 miles from the highway. About 2 miles of the road up to the property winds up a hill to the plateau. This section is is pretty curvy. It is in good shape and is traveled by the school buses. This is a beautiful property with a huge amount of landscaping. That means more maintenance so you will need to be prepared for the extra work involved. But, as you will see, the end product is well worth it. Finally, the 2,500 foot elevation does mean you will get a little winter snow from time to time. But, the elevation also means it is cooler in summer and well above the winter fog level.

Here's the bottom line...this is an absolutely unique residence and horse property that offers total privacy, a host of amenities, and very gracious living. And...it has been priced to move.
