1,070 m² Property with Home, Guest Apartment & Solar Power

​​Property Description​

​

Set on 1,070 m² (approximately 11,500 sq. ft.) of completely flat, usable land, this beautifully established property offers a rare combination of comfortable living, mature gardens, excellent infrastructure, abundant water storage, solar power, a separate guest apartment, a large workshop, and fantastic outdoor entertaining spaces.

 

Built in 2017, the approximately 1,600 sq. ft. (149 m²) main home combines adobe and brick construction with a strong steel roof-support structure. The property has been carefully maintained and extensively upgraded, with many major improvements completed between 2020 and 2025.

 

The home features three bedrooms and three bathrooms and is being sold completely furnished, making it an exceptionally easy turnkey option.

 

At the heart of the home is a spacious kitchen with a large granite island, granite countertops, abundant cabinetry, and seating at the island. A small office area located conveniently beside the kitchen includes a desk and office chair.

 

Each of the three bedrooms is furnished with a queen-size bed and ceiling fan. The primary suite includes a private bathroom with a glass-enclosed shower, dresser, end tables, storage chest, and a closet with built-in drawers. The second bedroom also enjoys its own private bathroom and built-in storage, while the third bedroom provides additional closets, drawers, shelving, and easy access to the home's third full bathroom.

 

The home comes with an extensive collection of furniture, appliances, and electronics, including a 65-inch Motorola television, Samsung soundbar, LG refrigerator, Mabe stove, microwave, LG washing machine, gas dryer, commercial-style freezer, sofas, recliners, tables, chairs, shelving, and numerous custom-built furniture pieces.

 

Solar Power, Water Security & Irrigation

 

One of the property's strongest features is its excellent infrastructure.

 

A 3,600-watt solar power system with battery backup was installed in 2025, providing additional energy independence and security. The property also has solar hot-water storage on the carport roof along with two newer hot-water tanks.

 

Water security has also been carefully considered. A 250-gallon potable-water backup system with pressure tank supplements the regular water supply, while a substantial 2,000-gallon rainwater collection system captures water from the roof. The collected water is filtered and pumped and can be directed either to the home or used for irrigation.

 

Inside the house, a new reverse-osmosis drinking-water filtration system provides additional water purification.

 

The property also benefits from irrigation water and a complete 12-zone micro-sprinkler irrigation system with an electric pump, making it easy to maintain the extensive landscaping and gardens.

 

Mature Gardens & Outdoor Living

 

The entire property is beautifully landscaped with mature fruit trees, palms, ornamental plants, flowers, and established garden areas.

 

The land is level and highly usable, offering plenty of room to enjoy the gardens, grow food, entertain guests, work on projects, or simply relax outdoors.

 

A standout feature is the large gazebo and outdoor kitchen area, remodeled in 2020 with a new roof and floor tile. Designed for entertaining, it includes a sink with running water, refrigerator, stainless-steel barbecue, brick smoker, and a custom stainless-steel pizza oven and chicken rotisserie built in 2025.

 

A custom solid-wood dining table with four chairs and two large hammocks complete this inviting outdoor space.

 

The front porch provides another wonderful place to gather and dine outdoors and includes two custom-built solid cedar dining tables with benches and stools.

 

Separate Guest Apartment

 

A separate approximately 200 sq. ft. (19 m²) guest apartment, designed in 2025, provides comfortable additional accommodation for visiting friends, family, or other potential uses.

 

The apartment includes its own full kitchen, refrigerator, sink with hot and cold water, double bed, end tables, dining table with stools, and private bathroom with shower. It also features new floor tile and a steel roof structure.

 

Stainless-steel handrails have been installed along the steps connecting the main house and apartment.

 

600 Sq. Ft. Workshop

 

For anyone who enjoys woodworking, building, creating, or simply having a serious workspace, the property includes an impressive 600 sq. ft. (56 m²) carpenter's workshop, constructed in 2025.

 

The workshop also has its own half bathroom and provides substantial space for tools, equipment, storage, hobbies, or other projects.

 

An additional 8 ft. × 10 ft. brick bodega/garden shed, built in 2020, includes steel roof supports, a storage loft, and numerous garden tools that are included with the sale.

 

Private, Secure & Truly Turnkey

 

The entire property is enclosed by a protective perimeter fence with two remote-controlled security gates, providing privacy and controlled access.

 

The exterior of the main house, guest apartment, workshop, and bodega was freshly painted in 2025, adding to the property's well-maintained appearance.

 

With the home being sold fully furnished, mature landscaping already established, extensive water infrastructure, irrigation, solar power with battery backup, guest accommodations, workshop space, storage buildings, and multiple outdoor living areas already in place, this is a property where much of the hard work has already been done.

 

Move in, unpack, and immediately begin enjoying a comfortable, private, and highly functional lifestyle surrounded by mature gardens and thoughtfully developed outdoor spaces.
