Perched on 2.29 acres at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, you'll enjoy breathtaking panoramic mountain and valley views, spectacular sunsets, and the feeling of country living while still being just minutes from shopping, dining, schools, wineries, golf courses, casinos, and major commuting routes.

Outside, the custom-built three-tier garden terraces, large graded lower pad, and drainage improvements create endless possibilities. There's plenty of room for RVs, boats, trailers, gardening, entertaining, or simply enjoying the open space.
One of the property's biggest advantages is the approved build-ready area for an ADU of up to approximately 1,200 square feet (buyer to verify), making it ideal for multigenerational living, guest quarters, or rental income.
