Property Description

STUNNING and beautiful open plan residence with amazing gardens and fruit trees. Current owners have enjoyed this lovely property in the coveted horse property area of Erwin Lake, “Erwin Heights” for 10 years. This secluded yet easily accessible property backs to 20 acres of undeveloped forest. The front yard includes a pond, a gazebo, lilacs, snowballs, fruit trees and enough lavender plants to harvest for their own use yearly. The jewel, pride and joy of the home is the fully renovated kitchen that includes all Thermador appliances and a huge island with Brazilian quartzite countertops. Every detail was fully thought out by the owner/designer/cook. There is a great depressed area in the island for all small kitchen appliances, keeping them within reach, out of the way and almost out of sight. A Chef’s dream and an inspiration for anyone to become a master chef! The property has a nice large deck in the back of the property, perfect for coffee in the mornings and a nice extension of the kitchen when entertaining. There is a media room that can easily be converted into a 5th bedroom or an office. There is a 3-car oversized garage with a workshop and exercise area , including a pull-up bar outside. There is no need for AC in this home with the great cross ventilation with the mountain breeze that keeps the house cool. The large wood burning stove in the middle of the house keeps the house warm throughout the winter, but there is forced heating for the extra cold nights, if needed. There is a large woodshed near the garage with plenty of room for enough wood to last a couple of years. The property has a slight slope, and a ramp can be easily installed in the back of the property for wheelchair access if needed. The front of the house does have a few stairs and a nice deck to enjoy the view of the full garden. This house can easily be converted into a bed and breakfast or full inn, with some minor adjustments to the kitchen and the necessary permitting. Full Utilities on site and fast cable internet. The owners are heartbroken to leave this house but have found another property that is calling their name to also transform into a beautiful home. This is a must-see property. Once you step in, you will want to stay.
