Back on the market with brand-new backyard access! After listening to buyer feedback, the sellers temporarily withdrew the home, relocated the Well and HVAC, and added a new rear garage door—creating a true drive-through option for an SUV or car into the backyard. This upgrade opens the door for easier access, equipment, projects, or even a future ADU. Beautifully renovated from top to bottom, this move-in-ready 1960s home features brand-new light oak vinyl plank floors, stunning stone countertops, fresh interior and exterior paint, and a brand new roof, installed in the summer of 2025. Updated lighting brightens every room, while the cozy corner wood-burning fireplace adds warmth and character. The spacious kitchen blends original 1960s charm with modern updates. Well-maintained vintage cabinets are refreshed with new hardware and paired with new appliances and stone counters. Just off the kitchen and dining area, a versatile bonus room makes an ideal game room, office, workout space, or whatever fits your lifestyle. Sitting on 1.2 acres and zoned Very Low Density Residential (VLDR), this property allows for up to two mature horses without needing a minor use permit—a rare opportunity for anyone with equestrian interests. Outside, the oversized yard includes multiple shops and sheds offering endless potential. One of the shops could even be converted into an ADU or possibly a second unit, creating space for guests, multigenerational living, or rental income. Whether you need storage, a workshop, or room to expand, the options are wide open. This property offers a hard-to-find combination of charm, updates, acreage, and usable space—ready for its next owner to make it their own.

VLDR
Very Low Density Residential Zone
The purpose of the VLDR zone is to allow for single-family homes and related uses in residential neighborhoods within the county. Standards for the VLDR zone are intended to preserve and protect the character of existing neighborhoods and to ensure that new residential neighborhoods provide an appropriate transition from rural to more developed areas. Permitted residential uses in the VLDR zones include single-family homes, small residential care homes, accessory dwelling units, animal grazing, on-site agricultural product sales, and private stables. The VLDR zone also conditionally permits non-residential uses compatible with a residential setting, including public and quasi-public uses, golf courses, park and recreational facilities, personal services, animal-keeping, large residential care homes, and medical offices and clinics. The minimum permitted parcel size in the VLDR zone is 1 acre. The VLDR zone implements the Very Low Density Residential land use designation in the General Plan.
