The living room makes a memorable impression with open-beam ceilings, a custom fireplace, and a working heatilator, creating a warm and distinctive gathering space. Custom real-wood cabinetry throughout the home adds depth and personality, while the kitchen’s hand-painted cabinet artwork brings a charming artistic touch rarely found in today’s homes. Comfort has been carefully considered with both evaporative cooling and modern mini-split systems. Outdoors, the property offers a one-car garage, two storage sheds, mature landscaping, RV parking with electrical and sewer hookups, and generous open space ready for your vision—whether you imagine a pool, garden, art studio, workshop, additional outdoor living areas, or a peaceful desert retreat.
