PROPERTY INFO
Stop. Look no further! Come see this 4 bed, 4 bath gem that sits on a little over 3 acres in the western foothills of Gilroy in the heart of Burchell Valley. Large rooms, high ceilings, ground floor master suite, and electric shades in the family room for extra convenience. A high-efficiency pellet stove is in the family room has the capacity to heat the whole house. It will burn for about 24 hours on one $6 bag of pellets (40lbs).
There are electric awnings in two locations on the large deck providing shade when needed both to the deck and the west-facing wall of the home. The bocce ball court is sufficiently lighted to allow night time play and comes with all equipment. Each end has a removable canvas sun awning for hot days. The court is very flat and drains water very well through an engineered drainage system. Landscaping has been designed for absolute minimal maintenance with synthetic lawns front and rear and plants that need no watering. All other areas are easily mowed with a tractor in about 1 1/2 hours. The driveway was recently replaced with very thick reinforced high strength concrete and a drain in front of the garage doors. Most importantly, it was carefully designed so the slope would allow a new Corvette to use any part of the drive without scraping the bottom.
A man's paradise with a 3,200 sq ft shop!! The shop has a 6” thick reinforced concrete floor without any of the usual “cut” lines put in concrete. Makes the floor much friendlier for creepers and toolbox wheels. The structure is heavy iron beams and includes a beam and trolley for a chain fall hoist. It is insulated throughout and includes roof vents that can be closed. Overhead skylights are very effective in lighting the shop naturally. 3 large double car door and one large RV door exist for access to this 40’x80’ space. 50amp 220V power is there in a breaker panel. 110V plugs exist throughout.
Despite a shared water system, this home has its own very robust pressure station with 5000gal of stored potable water, enough to feed the whole house sprinkler system for 30minutes as well as normal household needs for many days. The well is used by 3 homes and has never gone dry even in the worst drought.
The house is just far enough off Burchell Rd itself to minimize traffic noise and allow for peaceful exterior activities. It has one of the best westward facing views in Burchell Valley. Beautiful sunsets over Mt. Madonna unblocked by trees and structures. The east view is also unblocked revealing beautiful sunrises and frequently grazing cattle and deer on the hillside. Spend your evenings and weekends working on a project in the shop or playing bocce ball and enjoying the quietness and privacy that this home and land has to offer!
