Property Description
Welcome to your dream retreat where serene mountain views meet the comforts of easy-care living. There are aspects of Mediterranean styling with simple functional designs that emphasize connection to the garden and the expansive, nearly 30 acre, lot. Like two houses in one, this creative construction leverages the benefits of superior concrete on the first level with elegant modular design on the second level. Much like its sea-side inspiration, this home offers a cement plastered exterior that creates a traditional architectural feeling that is enhanced by natural elements like the patio garden, stone walkways and decks with distant mountain views. Take long walks through the rolling fields or along the wooded trails. This is ideal hunting, off-grid living, Homesteading, or hobby farm. Could even offer great rental options.
The primary living space offers enormous potential for large gatherings. Accessed from stairs on the first floor, or from front and rear side decks, you will appreciate the thoughtful layout that offers the perfect blend of spaciousness and intimacy.
The central kitchen, where everyone will gather, features high-end GE profile appliances, including a four-burner electric glass top stove with a stainless steel hood, two built-in wall ovens plus a dedicated microwave oven all framed as if for a professional cooking show. The stainless steel sink is set in the long dual level center island which also houses the dishwasher. A separate light-filled eat-in breakfast room further enhances the hospitality of this space. The chefs can stay part of the action while the rest of the party lounges at the dining table or enjoys the spacious living room. Large sliding doors provide access to the deck, extending your entertaining space for outdoor meals and relaxation enjoying the endless mountain view.
The inviting living room has large windows that bring the mountain views inside and is anchored by a cozy wood-burning stove set dramatically into the corner of the room.
Retreat to the primary bedroom suite at the south end of the floor where you find a spacious haven that offers a gas-log fireplace, two large windows overlooking the scenic vista, and an enormous en suite bathroom. Indulge in tranquility with a jetted oval tub, dual sinks, and ample storage options ensuring everything you need is within reach.
At the opposite end of the floor are two more bedrooms, each with ample closet space plus a home office space (or spillover bedroom). The convenient center hall bathroom has a center-drain shower tub, and an easy-clean tiled floor.
The ground floor features a private apartment-like setup, ideally suited for guests or multigenerational living. The open floor plan starts with a galley kitchen, breakfast peninsula and a dedicated dining area with a slider to the garden patio. A pool table and wet bar are the capstone to the perfect entertainer's space. This space includes a generously sized bedroom with large cedar lined closets, a full bathroom complete with necessary amenities, including a dedicated laundry area featuring a washing machine and slop sink to streamline daily tasks. Towards the rear of the space are two more rooms that could be additional bedrooms, office or pantry / sewing room and sporting room. A rear door opens out to the back patio and trails to the woods and creek.
Additional features of this property include a one-car-size garage shed for storage, flagstone circular patio, perfect for gatherings, and a shaded grapevine-covered patio for comfortable lounging. The addition of a small vegetable garden and swingset makes this an ideal spot for families or those looking to enjoy the peaceful outdoors, all while showcasing breathtaking mountain views. Enjoy open fields, wooded groves, and trails to the complete acreage, including paths to the seasonal creek.
