Golden sunsets, creekside lounging, and cool breezes. Presenting a rare opportunity to acquire a terrific family home situated on an expansive foothill property halfway between Fresno and Shaver Lake. Situated on five acres in a grove of stately oak trees, this 3 bedroom + 2 bathroom (plus optional 4th bedroom/office) has plenty of room to stretch your legs and explore or just enjoy the peacefulness.The home is thoughtfully designed and perfectly sited on a small hilltop in a glen b/w two mountains. A gated entry welcomes guests to the property, which includes fruit trees, a chicken coop, a dog kennel, and a well w/ new pump and fresh water at only 110'. A large, well-illuminated lawn frames the front elevation. The generous driveway has room for basketball, RV parking, and several guests. The back yard has an oversize patio with sunset views, a fenced swimming pool, and two storage sheds. The setting is perfectly suited for hospitality. The home's interior centers around the open and inviting living room, dining room, and kitchen area. Large windows feature lovely plantation shutters. The kitchen and both bathrooms have been tastefully remodeled with updated appliances and fixtures. Plenty of storage in the large hall as well as in the two-car garage. The true highlight of this property is a lengthy stretch of waterfront along Big Dry Creek (which ironically has water 365 days a year). Situated on the lowest section of the lot, this tranquil, atmospheric area features massive granite outcroppings, diverse vegetation, shade trees, and opportunities for fishing, wading, fjording, or relaxing. Being here feels like being in an entirely different land. Only 25 min from Old Town Clovis and 30 min from Shaver. With near constant gentle breezes and an elevation of ~1000 feet, the temperature consistently feels 7-10 cooler than on the valley floor. Full municipal services and excellent water drainage. Owned solar = very low true ups.Take some time to explore this property. It's a special place and worth the short drive. We think you'll love it.
