Class and character come to fruition in this beautiful, hilltop, gated estate perched on 3 acres at the highest point of Portola. Conveniently located in town and close to everything but feels private and secluded because of its elevation. Natural light fills the open floor plan and 360 views of established landscaping and mature fruit trees can be enjoyed inside or out of this luxury residence. The recently remodeled kitchen features high-end finishes and upgraded amenities and is featured in the designers showcase magazine. Each spacious bedroom has a walk-in closet, private bathroom and patio access. The expansive modern master suite feels like a separate home with vaulted ceilings, stained concrete flooring, large walk-in closet, oversized tub, walk-in shower and French doors to private patio area. A heated soaking pool, unique fountains and multiple outdoor living spaces surround this unique property. Detached structures include a gardening shed, granny unit/ studio and massive detached garage/workshop that can accommodate up to six vehicles. The entire perimeter of the property is fenced and the residence is powered by a fully paid for solar system with a monthly electric bill of $9. All landscaping is irrigated and the east side of the property has been tiered to accommodate a small vineyard. This is a very special, one of a kind property that just feels like home. Its positive energy is undeniable!
