Nestled on a pristine 20-acre parcel in a gated community with its own private lake, this new feeling home, built in 2016, offers the perfect blend of modern comfort and rural freedom. At 1,534 square feet, the single-story residence features three bedrooms and two baths, with very light and open living spaces that frame beautiful views across the property. The modern kitchen with breakfast island is open to the living room with woodstove and LOTS of windows accentuating the view. Be sure to check out the photos to get a feeling for the excellent use of space. Step outside onto the spacious deck from the living room (or master bedroom) and treat yourself to distant views of pastures, hills and mountains. Or walk out the front door, past the spacious 660 sq ft two-car garage to your massive 2,400 sq ft (40x60) metal shop building that feels brand new. It's ideal for hobbies, storage, or that home-based venture you've been dreaming about. It features a 12' high by 16' wide roll up door, with 16' free span height inside, making a loft possible for office, exercise room or whatever your heart desires. Roughly half the acreage is fenced, including about four acres of open pasture and your own pond for quiet reflection or stock watering. The house is served by a well producing 5gpm (per owner), and he states that there are 2 other wells on the property also, but production of those is unknown. There is also a 2500 gallon water storage tank. But speaking of water, the community jewel is the expansive 45-acre lake, perfect for fishing, swimming, and non-motorized boating. The lake features, largemouth bass, bluegill, perch and catfish (per owner). Enjoy that true escape-from-it-all feeling while being only a few minutes from the quaint Gold Rush town of Mountain Ranch, with grocery, building supply, post office, and coming soon, a gas station.
