Welcome to 1000 Mushroom Lane, a one-of-a-kind custom retreat where luxury, thoughtful design, and energy efficiency meet the outdoor lifestyle of Vallecito Lake. Set on 0.61 acres in the desirable Vallecito Valley neighborhood, this single-level home offers 1,440 sq ft of living space, a massive 1,920 sq ft heated garage, and direct access to an exclusive community walking and fishing easement along scenic Vallecito Creek. Designed with comfort, modern convenience, and elegance in mind, the home features 15' vaulted ceilings in the living and dining area, 10' ceilings throughout the rest of the home, hand-carved wildlife etchings, and high-end finishes throughout. Both bedrooms have ensuite baths, including a luxurious 4' x 6' steam shower in the primary suite with multiple spray options, heated bidet seat, towel warmer, and a spacious walk-in closet with custom built-ins. The chef's kitchen is a true highlight, complete with a Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezer, Blue Star induction cooktop, hood vent with heat lamps, Thermador dishwasher, custom 15-inch deep soft-close cabinetry, and leathered granite countertops. An adjacent butler's pantry includes a Blue Star convection wall oven, wine fridge, and laundry space, making the home as functional as it is beautiful. Outdoor living is effortless with 960 sq ft of covered patio space featuring tongue-and-groove pine ceilings, Philips Hue color-changing smart lights, and room for dining, games, or simply relaxing. Over 70 mature Blue Spruce trees dot the property, along with raised garden beds featuring herbs and annuals, and a full RV service pedestal with 20/30/50 amp power, sewer, and water. Motorcoach owners, car enthusiasts, and adventurers will love the heated, 32' x 60' garage with oversized doors (14' x 12' and 10' x 10'), in-floor radiant heating, a deep utility sink, and a climate-controlled wine room with a mahogany racking system for storing approximately 900 bottles. The massive garage can comfortably hold a 45-foot motor home and has housed a 35' fifth wheel RV plus tow vehicle, which the sellers occasionally used as a guest suite. A 40' covered carport provides additional parking for trailers or boats. Mechanical systems include a 12kW solar array with battery backup, 400-amp electric service, 16kW electric boiler with six heating zones, Ecobee smart thermostats, and a high-efficiency heat pump water heater. The home is also fully wired for Ethernet, satellite TV, and smart home features, including lighting, thermostats, security cameras, and garage door openers. As part of the Vallecito Valley Property Owners Association, owners have access to a walking and fishing easement along Vallecito Creek. This unique amenity provides a ten-foot-wide corridor along the water's edge for creekside strolls and licensed fishing, accessible only to Association members and their guests. The easement runs through private property, offering a quiet and respectful way to enjoy the natural beauty of the area. Access points are located along CR 501 and through designated subdivision trails.
