Fresh Opportunity at the Base of the Sutter Buttes home to a place where country life meets quiet luxury. Tucked at the base of the Sutter Buttes, this 5-acre retreat (2.4 acres fully fenced and gated) blends craftsmanship, comfort, and open-air living. The 3,200 sq ft residence offers four bedrooms, two full baths, and two half baths, designed with generous light and an easy indoor-outdoor flow. Mornings begin with golden light over the orchards, and evenings unfold around the outdoor kitchen complete with gas grill, two-burner stove, pizza oven, ice maker, mini-fridge, and instant-hot-water sink. The 1,660 sq ft shop adds flexibility and includes a 475 sq ft guest studio with a full bath, Whirlpool air unit, natural-gas wall heater, whole-house fan, and finished insulation. There's a covered RV area with two full hookups, a pickle-ball court, room for 4-H animals, and a second well with a high-output Ag pump for peace of mind. Dual gated entries, a rear access gate, and proximity to Sutter schools make this home as practical as it is peaceful a place where sunsets linger and pride of place runs deep.
