Welcome to 70770 South View Drive. Perched in the desirable community of Pinyon Crest and surrounded by national forest, this 3-bed, 2-bath haven in the hills has over tons of improvements and is designed for easy living, creative pursuits, and quiet escape. Evenings run cooler here, the stars shine brighter, and peace feels effortless. An enclosed front patio sets the tone, offering a private outdoor living area before you even step inside. Once indoors, you'll find newer flooring, lots of interior storage, a cozy wood-burning fireplace, and a sunlit brand-new kitchen complete with all appliances--including refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, washer, dryer, and wine fridge. For added convenience, there's also a second refrigerator and large freezer in the garage, making this home as practical as it is inviting and easy to maintain as either a full-time residence or a lock-and-leave getaway. The private primary suite is its own sanctuary, featuring a skylit walk-in closet and spa-inspired bath that opens directly to a secluded jacuzzi--perfect for soaking under endless desert skies. A versatile single-car garage has been transformed into a bright studio with built-in cabinets, a sink, and workspace--ideal for a workshop, art studio, office, or simply a quiet space to paint your next masterpiece, write that novel, or meditate and practice yoga in peace. The main 3-car garage offers keypad and app control, a dedicated workshop area with a large wooden worktop and locker storage below, plus a loft with pull-down steps for additional storage. Daily living feels seamless thanks to thoughtful details and community care: the HOA maintains the roads weekly and oversees the wells, with water tested yearly to ensure quality. A screened-in back porch overlooks raised garden beds, and a resurfaced patio extends your outdoor living space. The property itself offers plenty of usable land with room to expand or even add a pool, plus hiking trails right on your own acreage and additional trails along the back road to the community and beyond. It's the perfect home to escape the heat or the noise of the city--tucked serenely at the back of the community, yet only about 20 minutes from El Paseo's shopping and dining when you're ready for a night out. Life on South View Drive may have you wanting to stay right where you are.

Condition Rating
Excellent
Despite being built in 1983, the property has undergone extensive and recent renovations. The description explicitly states a 'sunlit brand-new kitchen complete with all appliances' (including a wine fridge), 'newer flooring' throughout, and a 'spa-inspired bath' in the primary suite. Images confirm the kitchen features modern stainless steel appliances, contemporary wood cabinetry, and granite countertops, all appearing virtually new. The primary bathroom also showcases modern vanity, updated fixtures, and a glass-enclosed shower. While the listing notes a 'potential for older core systems' and 'no explicit central cooling system,' the significant and recent upgrades to the most critical areas (kitchen and bathrooms) and flooring elevate the property's condition to excellent, meeting current quality standards with minimal physical depreciation in these key spaces.
Pros & Cons

Pros

High Available Lot Utilization: The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 125017, living area = 1792.
Idyllic Natural Setting & Privacy: Located in the desirable Pinyon Crest, surrounded by national forest, offering cooler evenings, clear skies, and a serene escape with private hiking trails directly on the acreage.
Extensive Recent Upgrades & Modern Kitchen: Features newer flooring throughout and a sunlit, brand-new kitchen equipped with all appliances, including a wine fridge, providing a modern and functional living space.
Versatile Bonus Spaces & Storage: Includes a converted single-car garage studio with a sink and workspace, a dedicated workshop in the main 3-car garage, and ample interior and loft storage, ideal for creative pursuits or a home office.
Exceptional Outdoor Living & Expansion Potential: Boasts an enclosed front patio, screened-in back porch, secluded jacuzzi, resurfaced patio, and significant usable land with room to expand or add a pool.
Significant Price Reduction: The property has undergone multiple price reductions from its original list price of $745,000 to $649,000, indicating a potentially strong value proposition for buyers.

Cons

Remote Location & Extended Commute: While offering tranquility, the property's secluded position at the back of the community results in an approximate 20-minute drive to major shopping and dining, and significant distances to schools (10-15 miles), which may be inconvenient for daily needs.
Potential for Older Core Systems: Built in 1983, despite numerous recent improvements, the property's core infrastructure (e.g., plumbing, electrical, roof) may still be original or older, potentially leading to unforeseen maintenance or upgrade costs.
No Explicit Central Cooling System: The description highlights cooler evenings but does not mention a central air conditioning system, which could be a significant comfort concern during warmer daytime temperatures, especially in California.
