About This Home

Discover this hidden gem offering sweeping mountain views, perfectly positioned on nearly 3 private acres and bordering expansive BLM land—providing unmatched privacy, open space, and direct access to the outdoors. This thoughtfully updated single-story home features 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a functional, flowing layout designed for both everyday comfort and easy entertaining. With no HOA and minimal neighboring properties, you'll enjoy the freedom and tranquility of true rural living, all while having plenty of room for RVs, recreational vehicles, animals, or future expansion. A convenient pull-in driveway and detached garage make this property as practical as it is peaceful. The home has been extensively remodeled with quality upgrades throughout, including a new furnace and A/C, new windows, well system tune-up, fresh exterior paint, and improved landscaping that enhances both curb appeal and usability. Interior updates include thoughtful floorplan enhancements, creating a more open-concept feel—especially in the kitchen, which truly serves as the heart of the home. The kitchen is the star of the show, featuring updated cabinetry, sleek quartz countertops, a stylish tile backsplash, custom range hood, modern appliances, floating shelves, and an upgraded sink and faucet—perfectly blending form and function for cooking, gathering, and entertaining. The primary suite offers a private retreat with a spacious walk-in closet and a sliding glass door providing direct access to the enclosed courtyard. The ensuite bathroom has been beautifully upgraded with contemporary, spa-inspired finishes, including a large, spacious walk-in shower (shower glass door arriving soon), custom tile work, a modern vanity, updated mirrors, and designer lighting—creating a luxurious and relaxing atmosphere. Additional interior highlights include a vaulted-ceiling living room filled with natural light and anchored by a cozy fireplace—ideal for quiet evenings or hosting guests. The secondary (hall) bathroom has also been tastefully remodeled with a new tub, tile surround, updated vanity, mirror, lighting, and fixtures, providing a clean and modern feel. A backup generator adds an extra layer of convenience and peace of mind. The enclosed courtyard is ideal for families, pets, or simply enjoying a quiet outdoor sanctuary, offering a secure and inviting space to relax, garden, or entertain. If you're looking for space, privacy, modern upgrades, and breathtaking views—all without HOA restrictions—this property delivers a rare and exceptional opportunity.
