Escape to your own private retreat on approximately 5.10 acres bordering the Cleveland National Forest, where incredible 360-degree views, privacy, and self-sufficient living come together in a truly special setting. This spacious 5-bedroom, 5-bath, two-story residence offers an exceptional combination of comfort, functionality, and wide-open space, all reached by a picturesque drive beneath a canopy of mature oak trees. A standout feature of the property is the impressive 80' x 35' fully insulated shop, equipped with approximately 160 amps of power, copper air lines, an incredible space for the enthusiast, collector, craftsman, or anyone needing substantial workspace and storage. 45 solar panels located on the shop roof supply power to both the residence and shop, while a private well, two 5,500-gallon water holding tanks providing 11,000 gallons of total storage, propane, and a newer backup generator further enhance the property's self-sufficient capabilities. Inside, the home has been refreshed with new luxury flooring, soft neutral interior paint, pet-friendly carpeting, and ceramic tile in the guest bathrooms. The upgraded kitchen features newer appliances while custom iron entry doors invite the mountain breeze inside. The spacious primary suite opens to a newly tiled private deck showcasing a truly spectacular view of the surrounding forest. Outdoors, enjoy a gorgeous swimming pool with beach entry, newer pool equipment, relaxing spa, shaded hammock sitting area, and drought-resistant, fire-conscious landscaping designed with limited water needs in mind. The property also features 1.5-inch fire-water hookups around the residence and shop with hoses and nozzles, adding another valuable feature to this mountain setting. With panoramic mountain and forest views, a remarkable shop, 45-panel solar system, private well and substantial water storage, pool, acreage, and direct proximity to the Cleveland National Forest, this is a rare opportunity to experience the beauty and independence of Ortega Mountain living.
