Incredibly charming mountain home in the Walker Basin community of Caliente! Huge great room with vaulted ceilings and wet bar. 3 large bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms surround this incredible entertainment space in a split wing design. Master suite features double closets and a large full bathroom. Classic kitchen with long breakfast bar and a sink with a view to the front yard. If you need room for projects, animals, or toys, look no further; expansive 3 car garage provides plenty of space, including a storage loft. 2 acres of flat and gently rolling countryside, dotted with many oak trees and a few pine. You'll never run out of adventures with miles of dirt roads and mountains to explore. A local secluded entrance to the Sequoia National Forest is only 20 minutes away, and water activities of Lake Isabella and Kernville are only 30-40 minutes away. This is a perfect spot to get out of the heat and pollution of the city, and enjoy the simpler life of the country.
