Tucked away in the serene Gavilan Hills, surrounded by scenic mountains, lies this horse lover's dream and a homesteader's haven! This absolutely stunning, updated ranch-style estate spans 1.7 fully usable acres—private, peaceful, and meticulously updated for a life well-lived. From the moment you step through the grand double doors, the home unfolds like a story—with sunlight streaming through large windows, dancing off the laminate floors and illuminating the warm wood cathedral ceilings with exposed wooden beams. The heart of the home is a sprawling chef's kitchen, a space where rustic charm meets modern luxury. Knotty pine cabinetry, granite countertops, copper sink, walk-in pantry, and an oversized island with bar seating invite gatherings, laughter, and shared meals. Beyond the kitchen, the dining area glows under an incredible chandelier, opening seamlessly into a spacious living room where a brick fireplace anchors the space, perfect for quiet evenings. Step outside, and the story continues. Vinyl fencing, cross fencing, and an electric gate surround a property designed for both form and function. The manicured lawn and mature trees provide shade and serenity, while the covered patio beckons you to sit, sip, and savor the view. Equestrians will find paradise in the 3-horse barn complete with electricity, water, three 12x12 stalls, a tack room, hay storage, and a wash rack. Additional covered pens offer flexibility, and a huge riding arena makes daily rides a joy. Best of all, the property backs directly to the community riding trail, so the adventure never ends. Back inside, the master suite offers a luxurious retreat with high ceilings, a sliding door to the backyard, and a barn door revealing a spa-like ensuite bath, featuring a custom-tiled walk-in shower. Spacious secondary bedrooms, a well-appointed laundry room with ample storage, and thoughtful finishes throughout complete the home. All of this—just a stone's throw from scenic lakes and endless trails—makes this more than a home. It's a lifestyle, a legacy, and a place where every sunrise tells a new story.
