Description
Quintessential Country Ranchette! Historic craftsman cottage on 12+ pristine acres outside of the beautiful town of Kelseyville with ADU. Storybook quality, nestled within a live oak forest and surrounded by ample wildlife, this property is one of the first homesteads in the area and regains all the nostalgic charm and romance of a bygone era side by side with quality contemporary upgrades that make it a delight. Unique highlights provide charm and a beguiling ambiance. Large old school picture windows flood the home with sun and fresh air, checkerboard floor adds a striking flair to the kitchen, dedicated bathhouse complete with trough bathtub is just waiting for a soak; the spacious back deck and comfy front porch extend the living space and offer an outdoor luxury lifestyle. The open floor plan with cross draft ventilation keeps things fresh and cool in the summer while the cozy wood burning stove and blue enamel propane heater is just the thing to keep you content when the thermometer drops. Soak up the sun and revel in the fresh air while lounging on the expansive deck with outstanding views of Mt. Konocti from the back, lovely vistas of the Mayacamas mountain range from the front and idyllic pond views from both the side porch and studio. Putter in the garden while deer graze nearby and wild turkeys frolic in the brush. The original carriage house has been beautifully remodeled with a tasteful flair and would make the perfect artist studio, writer's retreat or home for a friend or relative. Conversely you could supplement your income by converting it into an Airbnb or full time rental. Fish, swim and hike at Highland Springs recreational area, take to the saddle at the equestrian center, land and lunch at the Lampson Field Airport or go on a wine tasting excursion at one of the many premier Lake County vineyards …all within a five mile radius. This property is so special, so uniquely beautiful living here you will feel as though you are on vacation day in and day out!
