Make your move to Mountain Ranch, a settlement established during the Gold Rush Era. This expansive 2,850 SQFT home is nestled on a picturesque 10-acre lot surrounded by the lush greenery and stunning landscape of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. An additional dirt road off Wendell Rd leads to a building site with breathtaking views, offering possibilities for an ADU or shop. The site also features an 18-inch ditch for convenient electrical access, making it ideal for future development and expansion. Built in 1986, this charming two-story residence offers 3 bedrooms with a possible 4th on the main floor, 2.5 bathrooms, and a very spacious kitchen boasting a center island and abundant storage. The main floor also features a formal dining room, a generous laundry room with an extra sink and more storage, a cozy living room with a fireplace and beautiful wood beam ceiling, French doors opening onto the back deck, and a 2-car garage. Upstairs, you'll find a loft area, guest room, full bath, and the primary suite featuring a second fireplace and a private balcony to take in the tranquil views. The primary bath is equipped with a walk-in closet, soaking tub, and a spacious vanity. This home is perfect as a full-time residence or a weekend retreat for the whole family, thanks to its broad floor plan. Additional amenities include an outbuilding, a 20x24 workshop, ample parking for all your vehicles and toys, and a 30-amp Generator Hookup. With its serene mountain views, privacy, and proximity to town (only 3 miles away), this is the mountain escape you've been waiting for.
