About this home

Calling all hobbyists, mechanics, collectors, and recreational enthusiasts—this is the property you’ve been waiting for. Set on a secluded, park-like Acre in Homestead Acres, this private estate offers manicured grounds, and thoughtfully designed outdoor spaces. The showpiece is the extraordinary 1700+ sq ft pole barn/shop—an unmatched, purpose-built structure engineered for serious work, storage, and recreation. Featuring water, electricity, a 14' RV door, reinforced concrete for a lift, wide-stair mezzanine, built-in cabinetry, sectional lighting, and parking for 4+ vehicles plus RV, it’s the ultimate dream shop. Outside, expansive parking accommodates multiple RVs, boats, trailers, & all the toys. Plus lots of room for possible ADU or sportscourt or whatever your needs may be! The fully fenced backyard lives like a private park with a 100' zip line, 78 sq ft tree house w/stairs, mature gardens, play area, & a 10x14 Tuff Shed. The beautifully maintained 4 bed, 2.5 bath home (2200+ sq ft) has been extensively updated with a new roof, refinished floors, new windows, new water heater, heat pump with A/C, and generator wiring. The remodeled kitchen showcases custom oak cabinetry, Corian counters, deep pull-outs, gas stove, appliance garage, spice storage, prep-sink island, & more! All of this serenity sits just 3 miles from Costco, Hwy 18, Safeway, and everyday conveniences. A rare blend of privacy, beauty, & purposeful space—truly one of a kind. THIS ONE IS SPECIAL!
