This 4-bedroom, 3-bath ranch-style country gem is perched on 2.64 usable acres with mountain views! Boasting energy efficiency and a great floorplan, this home has an OWNED 36-panel solar system as well as a tankless water heater and an EV charging station! Across the driveway is a 3-bay, 2-story, 30'x32' steel detached garage/barn which has a bonus upstairs insulated living space (unpermitted) and, on the lower side of the property, a large steel-framed shed with insulation, 20'x14', (prior owner used this as a private brewery) with 220V electric that can be used as a workshop or hobby shed. As you enter the home, you are welcomed by a cozy, brick fireplace in the family room/dining room and a huge living room on the right with built-in bookcases and large windows. TWO master bedrooms with their own entrances, on opposite ends of the house, have ensuite bathrooms and walk-in closets (one master bedroom and master bath/garage conversion was done without permits so the permitted square footage of the home is 1,740 sf but actual square footage is 2,149sf). The spacious laundry room flows off the kitchen and extends out to include a wonderful storage/pantry room full of shelves with plenty of room to store your household necessities. Mature trees abound all over the property... oaks, a beautiful mulberry tree in the backyard, 2 orange trees, and tangerine, grapefruit, peach & avocado trees! The covered back porch, complete with hot tub, spans nearly the entire back of the home and opens to the spacious and level backyard. RV parking with 30-amp hookups is available on the side of the house. A fenced area awaits your goats or chickens as well as another large, enclosed area makes a great dog run! Your favorite feature of this private paradise might be that it has its own hiking trail up into the lush beauty for even more views and nature exploration. Traveling home to this peaceful sanctuary you get to cross a gorgeous creek-overflow on Cumbres Road to start your unwinding and getting away from it all! Enjoy a beautiful 9-minute drive to the freeway, much closer to freeway access than many parts of Valley Center! Ahhhhh....
