About This Home

As of June 2025

This beautifully updated modern mountain home offers tranquility and convenience on 10 sun-drenched, forested acres. The open floor plan boasts soaring ceilings, skylights, and large windows that blend indoor and outdoor living. A fresh kitchen and bathrooms add a contemporary touch, while a cozy wood-burning stove invites relaxation. The versatile 4th bedroom doubles as an office or sunroom (no closet), with an additional upstairs nook for unwinding. Expansive front and rear decks provide perfect spaces for quiet moments or entertaining. Previously home to horses and goats, the property is ideal for farming, gardening, or simply enjoying nature. Large lighted basement offers workshop space, and a private outdoor area near the water storage tank that has water and electricity. Just a few minutes from town, with easy access to hiking trails, golf and Beaches. Easy to get to freeways and Bay Area or Monterey/Carmel. This rare mountain retreat is a must-see!
