Load up the horses and take a short drive out to the peace and serenity of a country property that checks all the boxes. Extra large living spaces provide plenty of room for family and friends. A 400 sq foot bonus room off the updated kitchen has endless possibilities. Currently being used as a hobby room. The downstairs master is a nice addition to an upstairs master suite. A brand new roof, newly re-surfaced built in pool, and a new water heater are a few of the recent upgrades. Put your boots on and take a walk through the garden oasis to a variety of fruit producing trees and a home garden. Pass by a wooden garden shed, large metal covered carport, covered RV parking, an 8x40 foot storage unit and an 8x40 foot shop to reach the oak trees where the horses wait patiently in their paddocks for their next ride along the river. This country gem is only 5 minutes from I-5 and provides quick access to the Delta, the rivers, shopping centers and the Sacramento Airport.
