Tucked behind a quiet gate, 5204 Cueva Drive feels more like a hidden retreat than a home—an inspiring, tree-wrapped refuge that invites you to slow down, create, and connect. The main house spans just under 2,000 square feet, with three bedrooms and two baths that unfold around a dramatic, light-filled living space. Textures—wood, stone, sunlight—play off one another, creating warmth and calm. Two bedrooms rest on the main floor; upstairs, the primary suite offers a peaceful perch above it all, with a soaking tub, separate shower, and walk in closet. Out back, a wide deck bridges the main house and a 700-square-foot guest apartment with its own kitchen and living space—perfect for visiting family, a studio, or a private workspace. Just beyond, a climate-controlled treehouse curves around a live cedar tree, offering a dreamlike space to think, write, or daydream. Outside, life continues to unfold: a hot tub tucked beneath the trees, a fire pit made for conversation, a greenhouse ready to plant, a chicken coop waiting to be brought back to life. Covered parking blends into the land. No HOA. No unnecessary structure—just space to breathe. This is a place for people who see beauty in the details, who make things with their hands and hearts.
