A rare Jerseydale find at 4,000 ft elevation horse property, where you'll experience all four seasons on 4.91 useable acres of trees, meadow, and mountain views. This 4-bedroom, 3-bath, 2,201 sq.ft custom home was built with an irreplaceable story: the entire exterior siding and the exterior and interior trim were milled from a single Sugar Pine logged in Yosemite National Park. You can't build that twice. A passive solar design pulls the outdoors in through walls of windows, vaulted ceilings, and a dramatic arched picture window in the sun-drenched second living area. The remodeled kitchen features quartz counters, stainless appliances, birch cabinetry, and a Harman pellet stove with FireDome combustion in the dining nook. The primary suite offers dual vanities with granite, a travertine-tiled shower, and its own propane stove. Forced-air heating, central A/C, and a whole-house evaporative cooler keep things comfortable year-round. Outside is a hobby farmer's dream: small barn, fenced areas ready for horses or livestock, and a producing mini-orchard with apple, peach, pear, blueberries, blackberries, and grapes. Step out the front door onto Forest Service land with miles of riding and hiking trails. Yosemite basecamp, homestead retreat, or four-season foothill home - this is the one.
