This immaculately cared for 5 bed/3 bath 2374 SF newer custom-built home in a beautiful forested neighborhood (4000 ft elevation) with open concept main area, is perfect for gathering with your loved ones! Whether you are visiting for a long weekend of recreation & relaxation, or ready to move permanently into your dream home this gem has something to offer for everyone. Home comes mostly furnished and move-in ready. Living room/kitchen/dining "great room" comes furnished with comfortable seating and 65" Samsung Ultra HD 4K TV and entertainment system. All bedrooms except one (currently used as an office) have cozy beds and nice furnishings. The three main floor/upstairs rooms have closets, while the bedrooms downstairs do not. Bonus room downstairs (currently used as an office) can serve as another entertainment space or guest bedroom. The garage comes equipped with a newer 9-piece Husky locking workbench set. Too many bonuses to count! Home build was completed in 2007, but used as a vacation home by the homeowners until 3 years ago. Lot is approximately 1/3 acre, and extra work and care has been taken with property fire clearing for safety and peace of mind. Beyond the back of the home is the Stanislaus Forest, 898,000 acres of land. The deep quiet of this area with only the gentle forest sounds in the distance, make for the best night's sleep! Solar with battery backup & accessible high speed internet make this home comfortable and modern even though it feels off the beaten path. No HOA! Year-round enjoyment, but the warmer months are especially fun for a BBQ on the back deck, perhaps after a day of play at Dogwood Lake just around the corner. Close proximity to the Cedar Ridge portion of the Tuolumne "Ditch", where a walking (biking or running) path goes along the peaceful tree lined waterway for countless miles in each direction. Fishing areas nearby! For the ATV or dirt bike enthusiast, there are numerous paths in almost every direction, just a short distance from the home. Close proximity to Twain Harte and gas station/mini mart. 20 minutes to downtown Sonora with larger stores. 25 - 45 minutes drive to several different lakes for daytime recreation and/or camping (Lyons, New Melones, Pinecrest/Dodge Ridge). Choose your river, Tuolumne or Stanislaus, they are both about a 30 min drive away from the home. Many more lakes and rivers beyond the immediate area. Yosemite entrance is approx 90 minute drive.
