Property Description

Perched above Elizabeth Lake in the tranquil hills of Lake Hughes, this private 5-acre ranch-style home offers breathtaking, unobstructed views and the ultimate blend of nature, functionality, and comfort. Set within a close-knit rural community, the property provides a rare opportunity to enjoy expansive open space while remaining connected to modern necessities — ideal for remote work, creative pursuits, or simply escaping the daily grind. The 2,078 sq ft main residence features 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, including a versatile third bedroom located off the kitchen, perfect for use as a home office, studio, or private guest suite with its own bath. The spacious living room invites relaxation with vaulted ceilings, windows framing mountain vistas, and a striking wood-burning fireplace that anchors the space. Glass sliding doors lead directly from the living room to the back patio, creating a seamless indoor/outdoor living experience. The updated kitchen offers newer countertops, a picturesque garden window, and stainless steel appliances. It opens to a dining area framed by custom built-in cabinets and a buffet, adding warmth, storage, and charm to everyday meals or entertaining. Adjacent, the laundry room doubles as a functional dog-washing station and extra pantry space. Outdoors, the home is thoughtfully designed for both practicality and enjoyment. A generous workshop with 220v power and insulation is ideal for car enthusiasts and hobbyists, while the attached 2-car garage features an insulated, automated door and direct access to the house. There’s ample space for RV and boat parking, as well as room to expand or build out your vision. The backyard is fully fenced with snake-proof mesh and includes a peaceful patio area for evening unwinding, a Tuff Shed for additional storage, and a fully enclosed dog run with indoor access. The property is outfitted with leased solar panels (buyer to assume) and includes a non-working well with potential for restoration—offering energy efficiency and the foundation for future off-grid living. Located within close proximity to both the Santa Clarita Valley and Palmdale, there's convenient access to the greater LA area, while still feeling worlds away from it all. Nearby hiking trails and community events add to the lifestyle appeal, making this an ideal setting for those seeking privacy and opportunity.
