Description
Designed to be Different! Set on over 4 acres in one of Tehachapi's most sought-after locations, this custom Kent Turner-built property offers character, creativity, and endless potential. Designed with an eclectic modern flair, the 2BD/2BA home showcases tongue-and-groove ceilings, unique architectural details, abundant natural light, and warm inviting spaces throughout. The fully enclosed sunroom captures breathtaking views and creates the perfect setting for year-round enjoyment, offering a peaceful space to relax and take in the surrounding beauty. The converted attached garage now serves as versatile flex spaces including a spa room and an additional sunroom-style retreat filled with natural light. The property is equipped with natural gas, a private well, septic system, and public electricity. Usable pasture land makes this an ideal setup for horses, livestock, gardening, or simply enjoying wide-open space and privacy. A permitted detached garage adds additional functionality and storage. Tucked away on the lower portion of the property sits a guest house that has not been utilized in many years. Current access is limited and condition is unknown, but the structure may offer future possibilities for the right buyer willing to explore its potential. A truly rare opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind property in a premier Tehachapi location.
