About this home

This exceptional 2 acre property is less than 10 minutes from town but offers genuine country seclusion. Located on a private lane surrounded by woodlands, apple orchards and vineyards. 2 well-maintained older homes surrounded by an abundance of mature landscaping including a Redwood grove, fruit trees, deciduous and evergreen shade trees. Includes an RV parking area with full hookups. Excellent southern exposure & PV solar potential. Suitable for horses or farming. Underground utilities to the main house, no unsightly overhead wires. Main home has a newer, 2 zone heat pump for heating & cooling. The 4 bed septic system was replaced in 1997 and serves both homes. Fresh interior paint & new carpet in the bedrooms of the 3 bedroom, 1 bath main house. The updated one-bedroom A-frame cottage is currently rented. It includes a Hot Spring spa & private patio. Both homes have newer dual-pane vinyl windows. There are 3 electric meters that serve the two homes and the well, RV & the detached shop/garage. Each home also has its own propane tank for their respective freestanding gas fireplaces. A backup generator is included with a manual transfer switch to operate the well pump. First time on the market in 49 years and a rare opportunity to make this idyllic country property your home
