Petite Maison de Joie — a French chateau-style retreat where storybook charm meets serene, everyday luxury. Tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac and approached by a long private drive, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath residence sits on 1.06 acres that are almost entirely flat and usable — a rarity among the rolling hills that give Hidden Meadows its character, and room enough for a boat, an RV, or whatever comes next. No HOA. With the primary suite on the main level, the home lives beautifully as a single story. The suite features an expansive walk-in closet and a spa-like bath with a clawfoot soaking tub and an oversized marble walk-in shower, and both main-level baths are appointed with Toto Washlet fixtures. Rich wood floors run throughout. The kitchen is a showpiece — professional-grade stainless appliances, built-in refrigerator, dual sinks, and a crystal chandelier overhead. Upstairs, two bedrooms share a full bath, and one opens to a generous private balcony overlooking the backyard with spectacular mountain views to the east. The grounds are their own reward: a waterfall and gentle stream spilling into a lush recirculating pond, mature rose gardens, and a handsome chicken coop with its own fenced run. The back and side yards have been newly fenced for privacy and security, with a level, open stretch just outside the primary suite — ideally situated for a future pool. Solar with dual Tesla Powerwall backup keeps the home running through grid outages, available to the buyer via a transferable energy services agreement. Also included: 220V EV charging in the garage and a whole-house water softening system. One of the most elegantly updated and timeless properties in Hidden Meadows — and still just 35 minutes from the coast. Come see it for yourself.
