Property Description

With approximately 6,852 square feet under roof and 3 bedrooms and 3½ baths, this magnificent 10 year new estate offers an exceptional amount of covered space, 41 prime acres, and abundant adjudicated water. Set at the end of a 900 foot driveway and bordered on all sides by 35 to 98 acre parcels, this property delivers remarkable privacy yet remains just 8 miles to town. Panoramic views unfold in every direction, while a meandering creek, three pastures, and park like grounds create a truly idyllic sense of place. The refined single level main residence features 2 bedrooms and 2 baths, designed with timeless craftsmanship and an effortless connection to the outdoors. Wide plank hardwood floors flow throughout the entry, great room, kitchen, den, hallways, and baths, creating a warm and inviting aesthetic. The beautifully appointed kitchen showcases granite countertops, premium cabinetry, and generous workspace ideal for both intimate dining and elevated entertaining. It opens seamlessly into the light filled great room, where 16 foot vaulted ceilings and Milgard windows frame sweeping views. Additional comforts include 9-foot ceilings, central heating and air conditioning, a cozy gas fireplace, and a distinctive passive solar sunroom that provides natural light and year round efficiency. A substantial adjacent structure expands the estate’s versatility with a private, fully independent living suite complete with a full kitchen, laundry, private deck, and full bathroom. A spacious craft room, hobby room, half bath, and a finished 3½ car garage add even more functional and private spaces. Two recently constructed pole barns offer outstanding covered storage for vehicles, recreational equipment, agricultural equipment, collections, or future possibilities. Outdoor living is woven into the very fabric of the property. Expansive redwood decking and thoughtfully placed patios create inviting spaces for relaxation and entertaining, while a private hot tub offers a tranquil retreat beneath the open sky. The extraordinary 41 foot south facing covered porch is a destination unto itself—perfect for morning coffee, evening cocktails, intimate conversation, or simply watching the ever changing light sweep across the colorful landscape. Water is one of the estate’s defining assets. Municipal water is complemented by 0.55 CFS of deeded, adjudicated irrigation rights serving the pastures, entry pond, and beautifully maintained grounds. A double fenced orchard features mature apple, peach, pear, and apricot trees, and a charming greenhouse near the front porch makes cultivating fresh herbs and vegetables part of everyday life. This is more than a residence—it is a private luxury estate offering an extraordinary blend of acreage, water, privacy, views, pristine improvements, and refined country living. A truly special property for those who value space, beauty, independence, and the rare privilege of owning something genuinely unique.
