Tucked behind a private gate shared by only nine homes, this custom-built residence is nestled on 5 serene acres in the hills of Hemet, offering privacy, natural beauty, and a true escape from the hustle of city life, yet still just minutes to shopping and dining, and a little over 20 miles to Temecula. This unique home is rich with natural rustic charm, featuring stunning cedar ceilings, beautiful tile flooring throughout, and a welcoming living room centered around a top-of-the-line wood-burning stove. The thoughtfully designed floor plan includes two spacious ensuite bedrooms, each with its own private bathroom, ideal for comfort, guests, or multigenerational living. The gourmet kitchen is both functional and inviting, highlighting tile countertops, gorgeous cabinetry, and modern stainless-steel appliances, including a double oven, perfect for entertaining or everyday living. Step outside to an 1,100 square foot wraparound deck, where you can relax and take in breathtaking views of mature trees, abundant wildlife, and a seasonal stream that enhances the property's tranquil setting. Below the home, an 884 square foot garage/workshop provides ample space for vehicles, hobbies, or storage. Zoned for horses, this property offers endless possibilities, whether you are seeking a private sanctuary, equestrian lifestyle, or a nature-filled retreat with room to roam. The property is adjacent to Simpson Wilderness Park which offers convenient hiking and mountain biking trails.
