Set on 20 serene acres just outside Davis, this extraordinary country property offers a way of life defined by privacy, beauty, and connection to the land. Surrounded by mature trees and open fields, with golden sunsets stretching across the horizon, this is a place to slow down, gather, and truly feel at home. Designed and built in 1988 by architect Will Chambers, the 3,183 sq ft residence was thoughtfully created as a passive solar home where light, air, and seasonal rhythms shape daily living. Sunlight pours through expansive windows and warms the home in winter, while shaded porches and vine-covered arbors offer cool refuge in summer. Gentle Delta breezes flow naturally through the home, creating comfort in every season. At the heart of the home, an open and inviting kitchen serves as a natural gathering place, featuring informal dining space, a built-in desk, and a cozy reading nook perfect for morning coffee, conversation, or quiet moments. Cathedral ceilings and a blend of Saltillo tile and carpet create warmth and character throughout. The main level includes three bedrooms, two connected by a Jack and Jill bath, and a third with its own ensuite ideal for family or guests. Upstairs, a lofted retreat offers an add'l liv. room w/wet bar, a generous office or game room, and a private primary suite with its own split-system heating and air, creating a peaceful sanctuary apart from the rest of the home. A fireplace and wood stove invite cozy evenings and relaxed gatherings. Designed for sustainability and ease, the home features 2x6 construction, enhanced insulation, dual-pane windows, and solar panels that keep energy costs remarkably low. The all-electric system is supported by a heat pump, and a reliable well provides water for the home and land. Outdoors, the property unfolds as a personal haven. Once an open hay field, it has been lovingly transformed with trees for shade, fruit, and wind protection, along with irrigated lawns and gardens. Two ponds capture winter rains and support irrigation. A pool and vine-covered outdoor dining areas create inviting spaces for entertaining or unwinding beneath the sky. For those drawn to a rural lifestyle, the land is ready: a barn, corral, chicken coop, and pens for animals offer endless possibilities for hobby farming or simply enjoying the rhythms of country living. Private, peaceful, and carefully designed to live in harmony with its surroundings, this is more than a home, it's a place to create a life.
