Description
Privately positioned against scenic rolling hills at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, the “Shalom” property lives up to its name — offering rare peace, privacy, and a truly secluded setting. A private driveway gently transitions toward the Cleveland National Forest, with no through traffic and no visible neighbors — just mountains, open space, and opportunity. Set on nearly an acre, this is a retreat defined by nature and tranquility. Rebuilt in 2004, this beautifully maintained single-story SDCE residence offers exceptional curb appeal with an extended driveway, custom paver entry, and mature landscaping. Designed for both comfort and entertaining, the open floor plan features formal living and dining rooms, along with a spacious family room anchored by a fireplace. The modern island kitchen with granite countertops flows seamlessly into the family room, creating a warm and inviting heart of the home. An expansive breakfast nook and formal dining area provide ideal spaces for both everyday living and hosting family and friends. The oversized primary suite is a true sanctuary, opening to breathtaking mountain views. The en-suite bath includes a whirlpool soaking tub, separate shower, dual sinks, large walk-in closet, and generous cabinetry — offering both luxury and function. Three additional bedrooms provide flexibility, including a convenient Jack-and-Jill bath between two of the rooms. Volume ceilings — 10 feet in the main living areas and 9 feet throughout the bedrooms and hallways — enhance the home’s bright, open feel. Wood, tile, and laminate flooring throughout offer durability and easy maintenance. Outdoor living is exceptional. Paver stone patios and concrete hardscape surround the home, complemented by a covered pergola, fire pit, split and ready-to-burn wood, artistic brickwork seating areas, and low-maintenance artificial turf. Over 100 drought-tolerant plants and beautiful succulents create a landscape that is both striking and sustainable. A fenced garden area with planting station adds to the property’s self-sustaining appeal. Energy efficiency and preparedness are thoughtfully integrated throughout the home, including a fully paid 23-panel solar system, high-performing A/C system, new portable GP6500 generator, new water heater, and new garage door — delivering long-term savings and added security. The oversized 3-car garage is finished and uniquely outfitted — featuring a fully equipped gym with weights, mats, mirrors, and a new infrared sauna on one side, with workbench and shop space on the other. Despite its uniquely secluded setting, the property remains conveniently close to SDCE amenities including golf, tennis, pickleball, two pools, and an equestrian center just minutes away. Located near the Cedar Creek Falls Trailhead within the Cleveland National Forest, offering exceptional access to hiking, nature trails, and seasonal waterfall views — blending refined living with outdoor adventure. The “Shalom” property is more than a home — it is a private hillside sanctuary offering comfort, sustainability, recreation, and peace of mind. This keeps it luxury, grounded, and emotionally compelling without sounding exaggerated.
