Are you dreaming of finding a home nestled in the pines in Garner Valley? Located in Thomas Mountain Village, only 5 miles from Lake Hemet and the Columbia mine, this neighborhood is home to many local artists; and offers an active and engaged community. A wealth of hiking trails, hunting, and an abundance of opportunities for rock hounds! Close to the city for commuters to La Quinta or the Desert, but still private enough to enjoy the quiet open spaces and star filled evenings. The generous 9583 sq ft lot is well utilized with a new wood fence on the south side of the property, a large shed, a green house, dog run and raised planter beds. The fully fenced property is cross fenced to offer you separate areas for different uses. Fantastic curb appeal and an enclosed front porch offers a great vantage point for bird watching. This lovely home has been thoughtfully updated and upgraded! A new composition roof, new dual pane windows throughout with custom single cell cellular blinds, new window trim and sills, new laminate flooring, tiled shower and tub enclosure, attractive barn door provides a way to close off kitchen from the living room and newer water heater. Seller will leave propane clothes dryer and range, as well as freezer with the home. Just off the laundry room is an enviable 8X6X8 pantry! A finished loft provides space to create a home office, studio or bedroom. (Seller will leave pull down ladder for buyer to install if they wish).
