About this home

Welcome to Heaven on Earth! Spanning more than 85+ breathtaking acres, this extraordinary ranch estate offers sweeping panoramic views that seem to stretch endlessly across the valley and surrounding hillsides. A truly rare and special property, it provides an incredible opportunity to create a private legacy estate or explore future development possibilities in an unforgettable setting. The land is beautifully adorned with thousands of mature avocado trees that create a lush, park-like landscape, enhancing the peaceful and picturesque surroundings. Gentle rolling topography invites exploration along meandering paths, showcasing the natural beauty and serenity of the property at every turn. With three wells on site, the property benefits from an abundant and valuable water resource. Ideally located near Cross Creek Golf Course and just minutes from town, the charming single-story residence offers 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms and has been thoughtfully remodeled and upgraded throughout. Rich wood-beamed ceilings create a warm and inviting atmosphere, while the open floor plan provides comfortable living and entertaining spaces. The beautifully updated kitchen features stainless steel appliances, elegant cabinetry, and a layout perfect for gatherings. Spacious bedrooms are filled with natural light, creating a bright and welcoming retreat. Outdoor living is just as inviting. A wood-burning stove on the patio sets the stage for memorable evenings under the stars, while the outdoor fire pit offers the perfect vantage point to take in the spectacular views across the valley. A charming family fruit orchard adds to the property's character and country lifestyle. The property also includes tentative plans for 19 custom home sites, offering an exciting opportunity for future development or the creation of a private multi-estate compound. Privacy is paramount, with security gates and a long, tree-lined driveway leading to the heart of this remarkable property. This exceptional ranch estate is more than just a home — it is a sanctuary of natural beauty, privacy, and possibility. Experience the magic of this one-of-a-kind retreat where breathtaking scenery, peaceful surroundings, and limitless potential come together in perfect harmony.
