About this home
Affordability. Family farm sitting on 5 rural developed acres, this 2 bedroom, 2 bath, 1,377± sq. ft. Energy-Star-rated manufactured home built in 2005, is thoughtfully positioned to capture expansive views of the Carrizo Plain and surrounding hills. The interior layout supports full-time rural living, with a private primary suite at the rear of the home that includes its own entrance, covered porch, and adjoining retreat room—ideal for an office, nursery, studio, or fitness space. A second bedroom (currently used as an office) and adjacent bathroom are located toward the front of the home, while the open-concept living and dining area creates a comfortable central gathering space. A double-sided fireplace adds warmth to both the living room and the secondary bedroom or office. A detached bonus room connected by a breezeway offers additional flexibility for remote work, hobbies, or private guest space. The level ground features organic garden beds, mature landscaping, and a family orchard, creating a setting well suited for small-scale agriculture or self-sufficient living. A strong well supplies good-quality water, grid power is connected, and a fully pre-paid leased solar system supports long-term energy efficiency. The home is serviced by propane and septic, internet is available, and maintained dirt road access allows for year-round usability. Additional improvements include a 40-foot storage container, a rammed earth root or wine cellar, a travel trailer equipped with its own solar power and septic system, and an above-ground pool for warmer valley days. This is not raw land or a speculative project. It is a functioning rural property with established systems, fenced acreage, and the flexibility to support homesteading, multigenerational living, or simply a quieter pace of life with infrastructure already in place. Wide-open skies. Practical systems. Manageable land.
