Description

Escape to your own private mountain retreat with this exceptional 40-acre forested property perched along a scenic ridgeline with fully usable acreage and incredible privacy. Offering the perfect blend of peaceful seclusion and modern convenience, this property feels worlds away while being just 5 miles from the heart of town for dining, shopping, and the post office. The custom cedar-sided 2-story home offers 2,516 sq. ft. plus a 176 sq. ft. sunroom and additional attic storage room. Outdoor living is maximized with a covered concrete front porch, concrete walkways wrapping around the home to a covered wooden back deck, plus an additional open-air deck perfect for enjoying the peaceful forest setting. A beautiful tile entry welcomes you inside where soaring double-story windows flood the home with natural light and frame the surrounding forest views. Rich wood flooring flows throughout the living room, dining room, and kitchen, while warm wood and beam accents, built-in bookcases, and a woodstove on a stone hearth create the perfect mountain lodge atmosphere. The spacious kitchen is designed for gathering and entertaining with granite countertops, a large breakfast bar, dining nook, formal dining room, stainless-steel appliances, Bosch dishwasher, and a 36” commercial-style 5-burner gas range with oven. Central heating and air provide year-round comfort. The primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with private ensuite bathroom and sliding glass doors leading to a secluded deck with hot tub. A covered breezeway connects the home to the oversized 3-car garage featuring a 12x39 upstairs loft with power and water connections available. The existing 4-bedroom septic system may allow for future conversion of the loft into additional living space. Outside, the property is equally impressive with a private well, public power, and a whole-house backup generator for added peace of mind during outages. The land was previously set up for horses, with fencing panels and related accessories potentially available. A detached metal shop/barn offers concrete floors, roll-up door, and side access door for equipment, hobbies, or storage. Additional features include timed yard sprinklers and enhanced fire preparedness with Cal Fire-designated access and a 2.5” firehose connection on the property’s storage tank. A rare opportunity to own a truly usable 40-acre mountain estate combining natural beauty, privacy, functionality, and convenience.
