Located across from downtown Willits, this single-family home sits on an unencumbered 6.83-acre lot. Perched just above a waterski lake, the property is private and feels secluded but is walking distance to many popular amenities, including Crown Mountain Park, Whole Foods, The Steadman-Hawkins Clinic, several nice dining options, coffee shops, and miles of hiking & biking trails. The new buyer has the option to pursue a subdivision into 3 2-acre building lots.
Built in 1979, the home was well constructed by the reputable local builder Gene Grange. It is indeed dated, with original finishes from the late 1970's with minor updates through the years. However, the bones are good and the property is very well maintained. The house is a 2-story building totaling 2,541 sq. ft. with a large 608 sq ft walk-out basement. There are 3 bedrooms, and 3 bathrooms (2 full baths, 1 half bath). The exterior of the home has wood and stone siding and a metal roof. There is a covered front entrance with a large patio on the east side of the home, and another small deck off of the 2nd-story master bedroom. There are plenty of large windows and 3 skylights.
Historically, the property was used as a dog boarding and training facility, hence the nicely constructed outdoor dog kennels, heated indoor dog wash station, and the 1-car garage. The heated garage does technically have a full bathroom and could be renovated into an ADU if desired. The property is grandfathered for commercial use under a 'veterinary' category with Eagle County. The garage was built in 1997 and sits on a concrete slab along with a covered storage area on the east side of the building. This property suggests a possible development scenario of three 2-acre lots. There is no HOA and no irrigation rights. The home has its own strongly producing domestic water well, septic system, propane gas / propane furnace, and electricity is provided by Holy Cross Energy.
