The story

Sanhedrin and the picturesque Little Lake Valley below. The main residence offers approximately 2,264SqFt of well-planned living space across two and a half stories, featuring 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths.

The main level showcases refinished solid red oak flooring, while the upper levels and staircase feature new carpeting. The kitchen is equipped with a new propane range, rare Verde Fuerco granite countertops, and distinctive madrone wood cabinetry, all flowing into a spacious dining area that frames the incredible views. Additional highlights include a high-efficiency propane furnace, new roof, fresh exterior paint, and a generous 225 sq. ft. pantry/mudroom. The home is serviced by PG&E and an abundant well. Enhancing the versatility of the property is an attached 465 sq. ft. studio with a separate entrance ideal for guests, rental income, or a private workspace featuring a half bath, hot and cold water sink, and wall-mounted propane heater. A separate 600 sq. ft. rental cabin offers additional income potential or multi-generational living, complete with its own private setting, full bath, on-demand hot water heater, propane heat, new flooring, and septic system.
