20539 Jackass Hill Rd Sonora, CA 95370

First time ever on the market, with breathtaking panoramic views of Melones Lake and the Sierra Foothills, this beautifully custom built home is a rare find. Beautiful stone work both outside and in, high quality woodwork throughout the house, a tranquil waterfall feature, and an outside basketball/pickle ball court, are just a few of the remarkable features of this unique house. Nestled at the top of the drive on an historic hill (where Mark Twain's cabin is located), this spectacular home affords privacy, comfort, and tranquility. The skill and artistry by Overholtzer Construction is apparent throughout the 3159 sf house on 3.16 acres. Past the sunlit foyer with hanging chandeliers is the large entryway and sunken living room with natural wood vaulted ceiling and rock fireplace. The living room has a wall of windows open to expansive views of the lake and foothills. The gourmet kitchen is a chef's delight with high end stainless steel appliances, granite counters, recessed lighting, stunning cabinetry and a large walk-in pantry. There is a breakfast area overlooking the exquisite landscaping and waterfall in the front yard and a large dining area in the rear with lake views. The open floor plan creates connection between the dining areas and the high-ceiling living room. On the same floor, there is an elegant master suite with a newly remodeled walk-in shower and a substantial walk-in closet. There are two additional bedrooms and a bathroom on the second floor, and a separate private office and entertainment room with lake views on the lower level. When driving up the private asphalted driveway, you are greeted by the stunning landscaped entrance and the pickle-ball tennis/2 backboard basketball court to your right. The court is fenced and professionally lit for night time play. To your left is a separate unit; equipped with cooling, heating, electricity and water. This could be a separate office or converted into an in-law unit. The location off of Highway 49 is convenient to shopping and recreation. You are only a 5 minute drive to Melones Lake and the Tuttletown Recreation Area, and 10 minutes to Green Horn Creek Golf Course. For all your shopping needs, you're 15 minutes to historic downtown Sonora and 20 minutes from Murphys, which is the epicenter of the foothill wine region, complete with dozens of tasting rooms and vineyards. And for some adventure, you can get to the Bear Valley Ski Resort in an hour and to the floor of the Yosemite Valley in under two hours! Let this beautiful spot be the basecamp for your California peace and adventure.
