Welcome to your gated acre of heaven, where the forest scents and fresh air leave you grinning from ear to ear. The showstopper as you enter the gate is the stunning koi pond, complete with a waterfall and a host of happy koi fun fact: did you know koi have taste buds and can remember people? Picture yourself unwinding after a long day in your pond-side cabana, soaking in all the serenity this setting has to offer. Throughout the property, meticulous stonework, crafted by a thoughtful mason, adds to the charm. Step through the covered porch and into the cozy home, where vaulted ceilings in the great room and a wood-burning stove create the perfect ambiance. The open kitchen boasts tiled counters, stainless appliances, and a stainless steel farm sink overlooking the pond. Along with the 3 bedrooms, there's a bonus space ideal for formal dining or an office. The primary suite, located at the back of the home, offers access to the hot tub patio and features a stylishly updated bathroom. Outside, the vaulted rear patio offers views of the expansive fenced yard, where you can enjoy watching native dogwoods bloom while tending to your raised beds and greenhouse. With multiple storage and parking areas, room for a shop or ADU, this property is truly a relaxing mountain retreat just a few minutes above Paradise. Don't miss out on the chance to call this your home!
