Set on 4.22 private acres with approximately 369 feet of frontage along beautiful Mountaintown Creek, this exceptional property is just 2.3 miles from the guard gate and offers a rare combination of privacy, adventure, and natural beauty. The setting feels more like your own private national park than a neighborhood, and once you reach the creek, you may forget the outside world exists. A private trail winds through the property to the creek, where massive boulders, rushing water, swimming and fishing areas, fire pits, a hammock, and swings create an unforgettable outdoor retreat. Multiple gathering areas along the creek provide plenty of places to relax, entertain, explore, and enjoy nature. With three combined lots, there is room to roam and discover. The turnkey 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath home is perfect for everyday living, family getaways, or a vacation retreat. The main level offers three bedrooms, an office, laundry, and inviting living spaces. The remodeled lower level features a private in-law suite with bedroom, full bath, sitting area, and separate entrance—ideal for guests, extended family, or rental flexibility. Multiple decks and a screened porch provide generous outdoor living space, while the climate-controlled garage is currently set up as a gym with an infrared sauna. The sellers have completed extensive updates throughout the property; see listing documents for details. With its privacy, turnkey furnishings, flexible guest space, extensive outdoor amenities, and extraordinary creekfront setting, this property offers exceptional short-term rental potential. Come explore this special property and allow plenty of time—you may not want to leave. Qualified buyers financing with Rick Guerrero at The Mortgage Firm may receive a lender-paid credit up to 0.75% of the final loan amount toward allowable closing costs. Subject to qualification, eligibility, and underwriting. Use of lender is not required. NMLS #899983
