Welcome to 1601 Coyote Drive, an idyllic oasis in the charming foothills town of Murphys. This location is hard to beat: situated at the end of the street on a peaceful cul de sac, you will drive past picturesque vineyards during the short distance, under two miles, to downtown Murphys with its many wonderful restaurants, shops, and wineries. The home is less than a half mile (within walking distance!) to the Indian Rock winery and tasting room, and is in the desirable Murphys Ranch subdivision consisting of only a few dozen homes on 1/2 to 1 acre sites with zero HOA dues; there is no homeowner's association. This particular home is on one of the best lots, at the end of Coyote Drive, set back from the street and backing up to a large 8+ acre privately owned parcel that has a home built on the opposite side, not even in sight. This means you have many of the benefits of large acreage (privacy, privacy, privacy) without any of the financial obligations or maintenance responsibilities. From the vantage point of your large relaxing rear deck surrounded by gorgeous trees, there are filtered views of a pretty little pond (not a public pond) which sparkles in the afternoon sun. The house itself is a rare find, too; built in 2006, it is newer construction than most of the neighborhood and was built with great love and care for the builder's own family. It boasts two-by-six well-insulated walls, a presidential roof, a single-level easy-access floor plan, central heat and a/c, and two nearly flat driveways that can accommodate cars, boats, and RVs galore. The first driveway leads to the home's attached two-car garage; the second driveway runs adjacent to the home's sub-area which offers tons of extra storage. The .57 acre lot has mostly low maintenance landscaping (great for second homes or vacation rentals) but there is plenty of room for gardening enthusiasts to transform it further if desired. Stepping inside the house, you are drawn immediately toward the wall of windows in the open-concept great room that overlooks nothing but trees and nature. There is not another home in sight from these windows, so no need for window coverings! The home's layout includes a master suite with full bath, an oversized guest bedroom/office and second full bathroom, and a bonus room (used by prior owners as a third bedroom) with a third full bathroom. The current owners have added to the home's appeal with numerous updates/remodeling throughout the home during their five-year ownership...too many updates to list here. (Ask agent for the list.) This one must be seen to appreciate. Pride of ownership is evident throughout. Shown by appointment only, to prequalified buyers.
