SELLER IS ACCEPTING BACKUP OFFERS. This rare mid century-era (1957) Magnesia Falls Cove property, with its oversized lot, double mountain views, and resort-like backyard, represents a lot of value. It has broad and unusual features that are easily adaptable to multiple uses, with special appeal for people who love the outdoors or to entertain. The 2,252-square-foot house a 3/3, including an attached 1/1 casita with a kitchen AND an additional separate, freestanding potential casita (which could also be a studio/office, etc. behind the main house). This home has a front yard that features desert landscape and gorgeous mountain views, and dual pedestrian gates on either side of the home, custom made in Mexico. We'll save the stunning backyard for last. First, step inside the foyer of the 2/2 main house and into the living room area anchored by a mid century style slump stone fireplace below the wood vaulted ceiling.

The laundry and storage area is beyond that, along with another door to the outside and also another door with access to the attached 1-bedroom casita with a kitchen.

Behind the house is a breezeway and the freestanding potential casita (no bath)/studio/office. This space is currently used as the owner's office and library, but it's near the pool and features a wet bar, and has also served as a fun game and party room. Indeed, it has numerous uses, from an art or music studio. Beyond this freestanding casita sits a custom-built shed.
