***OPEN HOUSE THIS SATURDAY OCT 5 | 1 - 3pm*** If you value privacy, luxury, one-story living, and views for miles, this might be the one for you! Within an ultra-private, gated community of only 12 homes, the home sits atop 2.5 acres, offering incredible views of an equestrian center in the valley below and hills in the distance. It includes the luxuries of tumbled travertine floors, wood floors, gourmet kitchen, granite countertops, electric shades, and heated pool/spa (Pebble Tec surfaces) in a completely private backyard setting. There are no steps in the home and no steps from the patio to the pool. The large primary suite features access to the pool and views of the valley. Two more ensuite bedrooms, a bedroom/study, two living areas, two dining areas, all surrounding an open kitchen and walk-in pantry, complete the main living areas. The kitchen is a chef's dream with its gas cooktop, double ovens, prep sink, and appliance garage built into the custom cabinetry. One bay of the three-car garage is separated and air-conditioned, making it ideal for another living area, an art studio, to hold your favorite car, or for whatever you wish. The pool, adjacent pergola and butterfly gardens provide multiple seating areas to take in the expansive views. New high-efficiency air conditioners and forty-six solar panels combine to minimize one’s electric bills, while three Tesla Powerwall batteries provide the home with backup power should an outage occur. This smart home’s capabilities include controlling and/or monitoring certain lights, the solar panels, backup batteries, sprinklers, HVAC thermostats, shades, outdoor cameras, video doorbell, and the pool and spa heater from one’s phone, if so desired. The home offers quick access to I-10, 1604, The Rim and La Cantera.
