This 7.6+/- acre property is located in the gated Sylva-Vista Community. One of the most notable features of this property is its unmatched long-range mountain views, offering stunning vistas of the surrounding landscape. Additionally, the property offers a high degree of privacy, making it an ideal location for those seeking solitude and seclusion. The elevation of the property is approximately 4,000 feet, which means that it benefits from cool summer evenings, providing a respite from the heat of the lower elevations.
