Properties like this "penthouse chalet" don't come along every day; located at the top of the desirable Blue Lake Springs neighborhood, bordering forestland on a rare 1+ acre perimeter lot where you can view wildlife from your expansive 1,100+ square foot deck, and hike right outside your back door. Exceptional peace and privacy await the next owners of this special chalet, on the market for the first time since it was custom built for the sellers in 2001, with clean lines, wide open spaces, and a bright modern aesthetic. As you enter this home via the covered front porch made from Port Orford Cedar, you'll be greeted by a massive wall of windows with unobstructed forest views. The great room features vaulted ceilings and a wood burning stove to enjoy on those chilly days in winter. The kitchen features beautiful hickory hardwood floors and stainless steel appliances including a propane range, built in double ovens, and a new (2021) built in Kitchen Aid refrigerator, along with a dishwasher and trash compactor. On the main level you'll find the owner's suite with a sliding glass door to the back deck and private views of the forestland bordering the property. The owner's ensuite bathroom features dual vanities, a jetted soaking tub, and separate shower. You'll also find a powder room on the main level for guests. Upstairs, the open loft is the perfect spot to cozy up with a book, or use as a home office. There are two additional bedrooms and a full bathroom on this level as well. Additional amenities of this home include central heat and air conditioning, and a new (2022) Generac whole house generator so you never have to worry about PG&E power outages. The oversized two car garage offers plenty of room to store your vehicles and mountain toys, and the large paved flat areas at the top boast plenty of room for additional parking, play spaces, and areas to turn around. Enjoy the private Blue Lake Springs amenities including a swimming pool, two lakes, tennis courts, clubhouse and private restaurant. Conveniently located between Murphys and Bear Valley in the quaint town of Arnold, this is the perfect home base to take advantage of all the area has to offer. Skiing, fishing, hiking, kayaking and wine tasting are just a few of the nearby activities. Get away from it all and ascend to your own peaceful and private acre oasis at the forest's edge!
