Enter the property through custom gates and arrive at your private acreage, where an auxiliary building welcomes you--perfect for a home office, studio, or creative space, complete with its own private lavatory.
Up the stairs, the main residence opens into a stunning living room featuring soaring pitched ceilings with tongue-and-groove wood and exposed beams. Expansive windows frame breathtaking treetop views and glimpses of the city below. Two elegant French doors lead to a walking balcony where you can enjoy fresh mountain air and spectacular vistas. At the heart of the room sits a rustic wood-burning/gas fireplace, beautifully crafted with vintage brick and native river rocks sourced from the surrounding canyon.
The spacious open kitchen is designed for both everyday living and entertaining. It features slab countertops and a gourmet Wolf range complete with sear top, rotisserie, four gas burners, and a large capacity oven. A built-in Sub-Zero side-by-side refrigerator and freezer provide generous storage. A beautiful island with breakfast bar and dining area creates the perfect setting for relaxed meals and fireside gatherings. The stainless-steel drop-in sink overlooks the surrounding landscape, offering views of nature and wildlife while you cook.
The main floor also includes a full bathroom, laundry area, and a large bedroom with ample closet space.
Downstairs, the expansive primary suite offers a peaceful private retreat with its own exterior entrance. The suite includes a comfortable sitting area, large closets, and an en-suite bathroom featuring a dual-sink vanity, oversized shower, and generous space throughout. An additional open area with linen storage and a walk-in closet provides flexibility as a lounge, office, or additional living space.
Outside, the grounds are equally impressive. A cold room/utility space is built directly into the hillside, accompanied by two outdoor patios, a barbecue area, and a third auxiliary structure. There is also a covered work area, four covered horse stalls with a tack room, and additional covered utility storage.
The landscaped slopes have been thoughtfully improved with concrete steps, rustic pathways, and terraced garden beds filled with thriving fruit trees. The orchard includes avocado, pink grapefruit, fig, apple, guava, tangerine, lemon, peach, kumquat, orange, grapes, mulberry, and more. Extensive copper irrigation with brass valves feeds drip lines throughout the landscape to support the flourishing grounds.
Just one mile away is the 40-acre Decker Park, offering basketball courts, a community center and gymnasium, restrooms, horseshoe pits, children's play areas, concerts in the park, crafting events, walking clubs, picnic areas, and an outdoor stage.
