This Richard Rhodes designed custom home offers a rare opportunity to own a private 3.68 acre hilltop escape located at the gateway of John Steinbeck's Pastures of Heaven. The single level floorplan takes full advantage of the natural sunlight & canyon views that are a currently bright green, burst with color in spring & settle into a golden glow when fall arrives. Walking through the open floorplan you will be drawn to the many outdoor living areas. Take in the fresh mountain air from the sparkling, heated pool, & float over to the hot tub for optimal relaxation. A separate pool house or home gym is complete with outdoor shower & half bath. A sunny kitchen in the heart of the home opens to the family room with wet bar, breakfast nook & an open copper hooded fireplace. Three guest bedrooms and the spacious primary bedroom take every opportunity to encompass the scenic views & most being ensuite, offer lots of privacy. No HOA. Located near the entrance of Corral de Tierra Road.
