Description

''Rancho Guacamole,'' a rare offering of a Rustic California Ranch-style estate loved by the same family for over 50 years Tucked away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this private 1.2 acre retreat is surrounded by majestic mature oak trees and a producing avocado orchard. The main residence features 4 bedrooms and 3 full baths, blending timeless character with thoughtful updates, and a separate 2 bedroom, 1 bath guest cottage!
The inviting living room centers around a cozy fireplace, while vaulted ceilings add openness to the bedrooms. The family room, accessed off the living room through a set of double doors, offers a warm and inviting ambiance with its rich wood-paneled walls. A large bay window floods the space with natural light while providing a view of the outdoors. The stone-clad corner potbelly stove adds rustic charm and makes the room a cozy retreat. The layout lends itself to multiple useswhether as a bedroom, home office, media room, or private lounge. It also offers book shelves, access to the patio, and an attached bathroom with walk-in tile shower.

The house AND the guest cottage will be delivered vacant to the new buyer.



Two additional bedrooms and a full bath are located off the hall, including a light-filled bay-window bedroom, and a charming pass-through bedroom highlighted by two generously sized windows that frame the bed and fill the space with natural light. A later addition brought a formal dining room with vaulted ceilings and built-in banquette, a laundry room with sink, and a spacious primary suite with seating area, wood-framed windows and doors, walk-in closet, built-in cabinetry, mountain views, and patio access.



This updated kitchen blends rustic charm with modern convenience, featuring rich wood cabinetry with decorative open shelving, warm-toned granite countertops, and a full suite of high-end stainless steel appliances. The natural wood floors flow seamlessly through the space, complementing the earthy slate backsplash and enhancing the kitchen's inviting warmth. Thoughtfully designed for both cooking and entertaining, the layout includes ample counter space, generous storage, and a built-in wine and beverage center at the far end. Warm lighting fixtures add to the cozy yet sophisticated atmosphere.



Outdoor living shines with a flagstone patio ideal for entertaining, covered dining area, BBQ pit, koi/turtle pond with waterfall, and a flat yard for gatherings. A detached 2-bedroom, 1-bath guest house sits above a 2-car garage with extra storage. Served by a private mutual water company, this unique property offers the ultimate blend of rustic charm, modern comfort, and serene privacy just minutes to uptown shops and restaurants.
