Experience peaceful luxury in this quality-crafted, 2,274 sq. ft. custom chalet style mountain home built by Victor Guillot. Showcasing striking curb appeal with its beautiful cedar siding and rugged stone accents, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom sanctuary is nestled within the desirable gated community of Forest Meadows. The property backs directly to a greenbelt, offering serene overlook views, private outdoor tranquility, and frequent local wildlife sightings. Inside, the open and flexible floor plan centers around a dramatic living room, with vaulted knotty pine ceilings and soaring windows that flood the space with natural light and frame the stunning Sierra landscape. The heart of the home features a beautifully updated kitchen, a formal dining room for holiday gatherings, a family/rec room (optional gym), a primary bedroom suite with a sauna, and a versatile home office that easily converts into a comfortable guest room (bedroom #4). Outdoor living is elevated by three distinct decks - including a private perch off the primary bedroom that features a brand-new rejuvenating Hot Springs Limelight Series hot tub overlooking the woods. Designed for ultimate mountain functionality, the property boasts an easy driveway for convenient year-round access, an attached 2-car garage, extensive storage space, and a golf cart garage with a workshop. As a resident of Forest Meadows, you will enjoy social events, underground utilities, snow removal of main roads, scenic walking trails, a dog park, playgrounds, and picnic/bbq areas, alongside resort-style pools, tennis, pickleball, and bocce courts. Best of all, you are just minutes away from downtown Murphys, Calaveras Big Trees State Park, and Bear Valley Resort.
