GEM - "something likened to or prized as such a stone because of its beauty, rarity, or worth"

You will forever kick yourself, if you miss this property!!

Here is a unique Wonder Valley property that truly meets the definition of a gem. This beautifully secluded custom home sits on a gorgeous and fully useable 8.25 acre parcel at the eastern end of Wonder Valley and has over 800 feet of Millcreek frontage. This property is not part of the Wonder Valley subdivision and is not subject to the regulations of the Wonder Valley Homeowner's Association. This property IS a hidden gem...read on below:

Privacy starts at Elwood Road...access is controlled by a solar powered security gate that allows entry to a private drive with a deeded easement. The drive takes you a 1/4 mile to a second electric gate to enter the property. This is total seclusion!! Upon entering the property you will find a delightful custom home, separate guest quarters, detached 4 car garage, and beautifully landscaped grounds. The residence area is separately fenced from the large pasture area for your animals. The entire property fronts the south side of Millcreek.

The ranch style home has 2,121sqft of living area with 3br 2.5ba and many unique features. Let's start with the large family room with its Pella doors and windows, amazing parquet oak and tile floor, and corner air-tight woodstove with used brick base and surround. The family room leads to the large skylighted kitchen with solid oak floors, separate dishwashing and food prep sinks, custom cabinetry, and an adjacent morning breakfast room that has an eastfacing Pella wall of windows looking out over landscape gardens. The kitchen leads out to the large open living and dining area. The formal dining area features a gorgeous patterned tile floor with oak surround and a gorgeous drop chandelier. The adjacent living room continues the patterned tile and oak flooring and has a large custom woodburning fireplace with tile hearth and a full Pella window wall. A carpeted hallway leads to two off bedrooms, guest bath, and the master bedroom with a great bath that has a large walkin shower with a window ledge looking out to the garden. To complete the home you have a large utility room with a half bath. The home has HVAC heating and cooling plus a separate evaporative cooler which is ample for all but the very hottest days. Lots of extra storage, too...in the kitchen, family room, and utility room. Now, let's go outside.

Adjacent to the family room is a huge open patio with lots of summer shade and surrounded by landscaped garden areas. There are large lawn areas, a gazebo, plenty of fruit trees including orange, tangerine, grapefruit, apricot, and more plus a terrific detached 4 car garage. Half of the garage is finished and the other half has an oversize door with lots of workspace.

Here's another great feature...the guest quarters!!! This is a separate structure adjacent to the home with a living room, kitchen, bedroom, and bath plus a screened porch. Great place for friends when they visit, a mother-in-law, or an older child.

The land is superb with a most of it in fenced pasture and a 2 stall concrete block stable with tack room.

The coup-de-grace is the Millcreek frontage. In short, it's spectacular...and there is a great old swimming hole for the summertime.

OK...the positives are unbelievable but what about the negatives. The drive in from Elwood Road and to the house is graveled not paved so will require routine maintenance. The home has fabulous landscaping but it needs to be maintained. The guest quarters were built to code but do not have a permit. Fences are all in but they need some work. That's about it for negatives.

This is an unbelievably nice place...very rural and ultra-private with amazing amenities but with an easy commute to town. The only question is if it's too rural for you. Only way to tell is to check it out.

One last thing...showing is by appointment only to pre-qualified buyers AND the price is the price. Don't bother looking unless you have the capacity to make a full price offer. The good news is that you won't have any problem with the price when you see this fabulous property.
