About This Home

As of April 2019

no expense spared! This home sits up on a rise with incredible views of San Gorgonio, San Jacinto and peeks up the canyon through the mouth of the Pipes mesas. The raised-seam steel roofs reveal the nature of the rest of the upgrades. This roof was built over the existing, original flatter roof providing attic space and air space for extra insulation. Seller got bogged down at the interior, but the upgraded electricity and plumbing is all there for the new owner to add their personality. The new , nearly 1000 sq ft garage shop, completely finished interior... with high volume compressor, 100 amp panel and 220, is a dream for artist or mechanic. The 5 acres is fully fenced with lots of redwood at the important areas. There are lots of barrel cacti, ocotillos and some pine trees to add to the retreat aura of this truly remarkable property The home has a high-end ducted HVAC system... all of this and too much more to mention here.
