Some homes check boxes. Others change the way you live. Welcome to 17652 J Avenue, a one-of-a-kind 10.01-acre property tucked away on private land off a paved county road, where peaceful mornings, mature trees and wide-open views create a lifestyle that's increasingly hard to find. Lovingly cared for by the same owners for nearly 30 years, this property blends updated living spaces with exceptional amenities. Inside, you'll find an updated kitchen, remodeled bathrooms and a spacious primary suite addition with a cozy fireplace and gorgeous views. Just outside the primary suite, a spacious bonus room is ideal for a home office, sitting room, hobby space, nursery or even a second primary suite. Enjoy morning coffee in the 3-season sunroom, entertain on the multi-level deck or unwind beside the pool. The finished lower level includes a nonconforming 4th bedroom/flex room, providing even more versatility. A traditional attached garage is complemented by a heated and cooled 1,000+ sq. ft. workshop, while the attached garages total an impressive 1,741 sq. ft. A 24' × 60' outbuilding provides even more space for equipment, RVs and future projects. This is more than a home—it's a rare opportunity to enjoy the peace, privacy and possibilities that only a property like this can offer. New septic system approved and permitted, with installation planned to begin immediately, weather permitting.
