32908 Ruth Hill Road , Squaw Valley, CA 93675(Fresno County)

This truly is a unique property. Originally built in 1977, this Spanish custom has been extensively added to and remodeled to create a 2,700sqft residence. The home features 3 bedrooms and 3 baths with a truly impressive master suite with high beamed ceilings and its own fireplace plus a door to the back patio. The style is a very rustic Spanish with all tile floors, barrel S-tile roofs, and arched porches. The living and dining area are very open and the living room has a nice brick fireplace. The home has 2 separate HVAC systems and the master suite has its own tankless water heater. The backyard has a huge patio area with a massive beamed porch that has an expansive western view of the valley. Off the patio, adjacent to the home, is a neat 2 story addition. Built to provide a game room and sleeping loft, the addition has a nice bathroom and could alternatively provide a nice guest suite or mother-in-law quarters. The addition has its own separate heating and cooling for the lower and upper floors. A breezeway patio provides access to the front of the home and the oversize 2 car garage and large 2 car carport.

The property is a combination of a very useable lower section plus an upper hillside section that can provide additional grazing areas. The easement road to the property bisects the two sections. The lower section is approximately 6 acres with nice vinyl rail fencing along the road frontage and field fencing for the balance. The upper section is partially fenced. The property has 2 wells, a main well of 20gpm and a second well of 8gpm that has never been put in service. Outbuildings include a metal animal shed and a small barn for hay storage. A seasonal creek traverses through the southern corner of the property. The property is currently home to two horses and two llamas. Access to the property is via a graveled cul-de-sac easement road off of Ruth Hill. The easement road serves several properties and this property is near the end of the cul-de-sac where it receives very little traffic. There are no close neighbors and the adjacent parcels are 639 acres, 200 acres, 65 acres, and 10 acres.

As always, we talk about any negatives. The first would be the graveled easement road. It is a bit bumpy in sections but fine for 2 wheel drive vehicles. The kitchen is nice but a bit small and could use some remodeling. The metal animal shed is functional but it has seen better days. The backyard fencing is a bit close to the patio and, as the pictures show, no barrier to the llamas which step right over it. The living room fireplace could use a good cleaning.

This really is an attractive property... nicely secluded, plenty of useable land, close to Hwy180, and loads of charm. We don't get many larger parcels and this one is very nicely priced. AND, the sellers may be willing to carry paper for a qualified buyer that has an acceptable down payment.
