Condition Rating
Good

Built in 2008, this property is 16 years old, placing it within the 'Good' category's age range. The listing describes it as 'impeccable,' 'beautifully maintained,' and 'turnkey,' which is strongly supported by the images. The kitchens (main and kitchenette) feature high-quality wood cabinetry, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances, all appearing in excellent condition. Bathrooms are well-appointed with soaking tubs, steam showers, and double vanities. Flooring is a mix of hardwood, carpet, and tile, all well-maintained. While the style is more traditional than ultra-modern, the overall quality, meticulous upkeep, and modern energy efficiencies (solar, private well, generator) ensure it is move-in ready with no immediate renovations required. It doesn't quite meet the 'virtually new' standard for 'Excellent' due to its age and the absence of a very recent full renovation.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Exceptional Privacy & Expansive Grounds: A private gated entrance, long driveway, and 5-acre lot within a grove of ancient oak trees ensure unparalleled seclusion and a true estate feel.
Flexible Multi-Generational Living: The property offers single-story living on the main floor with a fully equipped lower level featuring its own exterior entry, kitchenette, and primary suite, ideal for an ADU, extended family, or guest quarters.
Resort-Style Outdoor Entertainment: The grounds boast a magnificent pool area with a fireplace, firepit, outdoor kitchen, natural rockwork, and water features, complemented by a fruit orchard and multiple sitting areas for luxurious outdoor living.
Advanced Energy Independence: Equipped with paid-for solar panels, a private water well, and a whole-house 22k generator, providing significant energy efficiency, reduced utility costs, and reliable self-sufficiency.
Prestigious Santa Rosa Plateau Lifestyle: Located in an exclusive ranch community with 5-acre minimum parcels, offering robust social activities, private trails, and proximity to ecological reserves, appealing to those seeking a serene yet connected rural lifestyle.

Cons

Above Estimated Market Value: The current listing price of $1,899,980 is approximately 5% higher than the estimated property value of $1,786,906, potentially impacting buyer perception of value and requiring further price adjustments.
High Maintenance Demands: The extensive 5-acre lot, elaborate outdoor amenities (pool, outdoor kitchen, landscaping), private well, and generator system will necessitate significant ongoing maintenance, time, and financial investment.
Remote Location for Daily Conveniences: While offering a peaceful ranch lifestyle, the absence of commercial businesses within the immediate community and distances to some schools (up to 17 miles) may require considerable travel for daily errands and amenities.
