From the road this looks like a small single story home, but it's not. This is a two story home, with 1,728sqft and 2br2ba, that has been built into the side of a hill where it can overlook the San Joaquin Valley and the surrounding Sierra's. Each story has ground level access and the in-ground construction provides natural cooling and great energy efficiency. The upper level has a well designed living area that is very open with a rustic appeal featuring natural wood walls, wood and tile floors, a fully appointed galley style kitchen, and a southern exposure covered balcony patio that offers awesome views. Here's a spot where you can get rid of all of the stress of the fast paced urban world. The greatroom style living area has a defined dining space and a living room that has a very spacious feel...sorry the woodstove is not included but you will have a place for your new one. Completing the upper level is a nicely sized bedroom, the master, and a large bathroom with a custom corner tile shower and stacked washer/dryer enclosure (they are included). The lower level features a second bath, a smaller bedroom, and a large open space ideal for a family or game room and a sliding door exit to the outside. The home has been recently painted, has a roof less than 2 years old, and has HVAC heating and cooling. Everything is in just about mint condition. AND... the property is as good as the home.
The home is sited well back from the road on a fully fenced and cross-fenced 4.8 acres with 3 separate pasture areas. A graveled, circle drive leads to the home and outbuildings. The main outbuilding is a neat shop with a large work area that has a rustic barn style appearance...looks old but this is nice! On the back of the shop is a stall enclosure for your horses and on one side a fully enclosed wood storage room. There is also a very nice storage building with power and a neat little greenhouse. The front half of the property has very gentle terrain with plenty of room for any other uses that you might want to add. The back half of the property slopes down to where it backs up to a large ranch area. There are two wells but only one is being used and it is supplemented with a 2,500 gallon water storage system. The home has great seclusion from the neighbors and the views are simply gorgeous. The property has line of sight to Bear Mountain which has a tower that provides wireless DSL internet service and the close proximity to Hwy 180 makes for an easy commute to the valley.
As always, I talk about any negative features. This property doesn't have many. There is no garage, but the shop is large enough to park a car in. The home is extremely comfortable and well designed but would probably be a bit cramped for a full family(the second bedroom is not very large). On the other hand it is ideal for a couple wanting a guest room.
This is a move in ready property, ideally set up to function as a mini-ranch with plenty of room for your special touches. This really is one you need to see to appreciate... my pictures don't begin to do it justice. The seller is quite firm on his price, but you will understand why. Showings are by appointment only.
