$5,000 REDUCTION! This is an opportunity to own in an upscale mountain community. A short 20 minute scenic drive from the desert floor brings you to the private community of Pinyon Crest. A different world awaits your arrival - one that is 10-20 cooler than the desert floor. This upscale community has its own community-owned wells providing fresh, clean water to all residents, graded roads, mailboxes and locking back gates for security and privacy. These essentials and the equipment used to maintain them are owned by the residents' HOA with a salaried resident operator/mechanic on duty. Now for technology: Anza Electric CoOp provides reliable power, hi-speed fibre optic internet and strong WiFi to the mountain communities. Desert getting too hot for you? Make this your new home office and work remotely with all the necessary essentials. This ranch style home is located on 1.03 acres with mountain views and room to create new outdoor living spaces that suit your needs. Inside, natural light streams through your windows into the bright, spacious primary bedroom and comfortable guest bedroom, separate large full bath, a well equipped kitchen, breakfast bar, washer/dryer, and spacious dining area. Delight in a multi-windowed open living room bathed in sunlight with wide open mountain views. This is a solid, practical home, a safe, self-sufficient enduring community with fresh mountain air, crystal clear starry nights that make you feel a part of the Milky Way, and quiet. Very quiet... Pinyon Crest is an official national monument, a wildlife habitat, and a designated Mount Palomar night viewing area. So come up, take a look; breathe the air and make an offer at this new reduced price! Welcome to your new home and peace of mind. Did I mention the panoramic mountain views from every angle and every window in your house. Step outside onto your front or back deck and feel the freedom of wide open skies and fresh mountain air. Wait, was that a hawk floating effortlessly on an updraft close enough to circle above, dip its wings and continue on the hunt. Wow. That's what I'm talking about. It's a beautiful life up here at one with the universe. A sanctuary within your reach, and amazingly within a 20 minute drive to the Desert Cities below. Think about it. But don't think too long. You're not the only one looking at this listing. Opportunity knocks... Now smile, and take your best friend out for a nice long walk.
