About This Home
As of February 2026Situated behind a private gated entry in one of Mt. Helix’s most desirable enclaves, 4847 Vita Rd presents a rare opportunity to own a refined single-story ranch style estate on approximately 1.7 acres. A serene front approach featuring a koi pond, expansive covered porch, mature landscaping, and fruit trees establishes an immediate sense of privacy and distinction. The residence offers a thoughtfully designed open floor plan accented by hardwood flooring and seamless indoor-outdoor flow. The farmhouse-inspired kitchen is appointed with a large center island and high-end appliances, opening to expansive living spaces and retractable doors that blur the line between indoors and out, leading to a backyard that feels more like a private resort than a residence. A tablet-controlled whole-house audio system with interior and exterior zones provides effortless ambiance throughout. Four generously sized bedrooms each feature en-suite bathrooms, while the primary suite is highlighted by a fireplace, spa-inspired bath with soaking tub, oversized vanity, and a massive walk-in closet. A bonus room offers flexible space for guests, media, a kid's retreat, or other additional living needs. Outdoors, the property reveals itself in layers. A tropical pool and spa with walk-in entry, outdoor fire pit, expansive entertaining areas, and multiple private seating spaces invite relaxation, connection, and moments of escape. Wide open park-like land and on-site horse stables provide a rare opportunity for equestrian living while still allowing ample space to entertain, play, and relax all in complete privacy. With owned solar, pool solar heating, RV or boat parking, a three-car garage, and a location that balances exclusivity with convenience, this is not just a home you see; it’s a home you feel.
