Views, Views, Views! This beautiful home sits on a 2.5 acre lot with gorgeous views from all directions! The perimeter of the property is fully fenced and the entire lot is level (no arroyos), so there's so much extra space to build your work shop or park all your toys! Close to Soledad Canyon road, so easy access to the new 5 mile long dedicated asphalt walk/run and bike path that runs the entire length of Soledad Canyon. It's also only two miles to the Soledad Canyon day use area for the Organ Mountains Desert Peaks National Monument hiking trails. This home has 3 bedrooms and an office, which can be used as a bedroom if needed, plus 2 1/2 baths. The views from living room and kitchen are absolutely stunning! You'll enjoy entertaining guests in the private, fenced in backyard and especially hanging in the swimming pool! Pool includes an electric cover and is self cleaning. Dog run located on side of house with doggie door to the house. Solar powered gate for driveway to garage.
