Property Description

Originally built in 1939, this beautifully updated cottage is full of warmth, character, and timeless appeal. Ideally situated just above the snowline, you'll enjoy the very best of Apple Hill living just a short stroll to High Hill Ranch (yes, you really can smell the fresh apple fritters in the morning!) and minutes from the area's beloved apple orchards, wineries, bakeries, Christmas tree farms, and year-round events. Best of all, you'll enjoy easy freeway access while avoiding the seasonal traffic. Inside, thoughtful renovations preserve the home's original rustic charm while incorporating modern comforts throughout. One of the home's standout features is a private suite complete with a bedroom, full bathroom, separate exterior entrance, and space for a future kitchenette. Whether you're accommodating extended family, hosting long-term guests, creating a private home office, or seeking flexible living arrangements, this versatile space offers endless possibilities (buyer to verify permitted uses). Step outside to an inviting patio overlooking a spacious, low-maintenance yard designed for both relaxation and country living. Raised garden beds, plenty of room to entertain or expand, a newly constructed small livestock shelter for chickens or goats, and a dedicated dog run create the perfect setting for anyone dreaming of a hobby farm or simply embracing the Apple Hill lifestyle. Major infrastructure upgrades including an owned solar system, Tesla Powerwall, and a newer roof, provide exceptional efficiency, peace of mind, and long-term value. Whether you're searching for a full-time residence, a weekend escape, or your own piece of the Apple Hill community, this charming cottage offers a rare opportunity to enjoy the best of foothill living.
