In the mid 70s, the owner's Dad brought Mom to Palmdale.She agreed to stay if they could find a summer place, well, more temperate."And that has made all the difference." (Frost).The home we're selling is next to the one that owner's Mom & Dad first purchased. It is delightful. It's kind of like staying in a newly remodeled Airbnb without the remodeling.The bathrooms could use a little help; I know it can be done because they bought a remodeling kit 8 years ago & I still have it. It sits at 4500', 1-5 stones' throws—depending on skill level—from Big Rock Creek.You can climb a mountain, catch a trout, chase a bear (don't chase the bear), splash in the stream and, still, Super Target is less than 20 miles away! The departed & beloved neighbor, Wayne, who built this house for his family, had a fun story to tell. He worked for the studios during Hollywood's heyday. On the set of "It's a Wonderful Life,”Jimmy Stewart was struggling to throw the rock through the second floor window of the Old Granville House. Wayne volunteered to give it a try,and according to him, accomplished the feat on his first throw. We believe him 'cause there's still a couple cracked panes in the house he built for his bride. You see, wishes do come true. You'll have wonderful neighbors; Seller's young and growing family are keeping Mom's place. They’re not here all the time, but when they are, they're a real treat. If you make friends with the resort next door, they may invite you over for a glass (or more) of wine, a bite at the cafe, live music or movie night for the kids. If you'd prefer biking or hiking, you can see the Manzanita Trail from the property. Turn right and you get to Devil's Punchbowl. Turn left and it's Mt. Baden Powell (9,399’), the PCT & Wrightwood. The back way to Wrightwood is an 11 mile ride, but since there's a new brewery up there it only seems like 2. Lots of water up here. The property is gravity fed by Paradise Springs (maintained by the neighborhood) & also by a high pressure (~130psi) well at the resort (at no cost.).Do you like fruit? That’s wonderful. Owner planted a 100 tree orchard right next to you,all heirloom and no two varieties the same. You can have all the peaches, nectarines, pears, plums, apples, cherries, grapes, apricots & figs you’d like. It’s about as close to Paradise as you can get. It must have been one of Wayne’s kids, ages past, who climbed the fireplace wall & glued pebbles to a thousand pound rock: “Espirito De La Montana,” it reads. Find out more about this property.
