MARKET DEBUT! First time on the market in over 40 years! This lovingly maintained mountain retreat is nestled among Ponderosa Pines with a breathtaking pine-covered mountain ridge as your private backdrop with nearly ½ an acre of your personal paradise! Break away from the heat of the Valley and experience Peace on Earth! Pride of ownership is undeniable from the moment you arrive with fresh exterior paint in 2022, newly resurfaced driveway in 2025, roof replaced in 2015-2016, and a new 20x18 RV/CARPORT installed in 2022. Built with 2x6 walls and heavy insulation, this home was engineered for comfortable, energy-efficient mountain living through every season.
Step inside to soaring ceilings, a dramatic wall of floor-to-ceiling windows framing lush treetop views and a warm propane fireplac focal point perfect for snowy Pine evenings. Appreciate the knotty pine cabinetry, dual kitchen skylights, a center kitchen island, dedicated pantry, and a sun-drenched bay window dining room that makes every meal feel like a retreat. Outside, the spacious covered back patio with its wood-paneled ceiling, hanging porch swing, and fully fenced backyard surrounded by mature shade trees comes complete with a Peach tree, McIntosh apple tree, flagstone path, RV PARKING with RV HOOK UPS (water & electric) and the pine-forested mountain views, delivers the private mountain sanctuary buyers dream about but rarely find.
