About 3131 Branciforte Drive

Rare Happy Valley property fist time on the market in over 50 years, with over 2 acres of privacy, natural beauty, and serene indoor-outdoor living. Single-level home features wings for privacy, picture windows framing redwoods and mountain views, vaulted ceilings, and an open-concept kitchen, living, and dining area that flows throughout. An expansive wraparound deck, beautiful spacious bedrooms and living spaces all with views, a dedicated laundry room, and bonus rooms provide flexible spaces for an office, studio, or yoga. Public water is an especially valuable feature for a mountain property. Mature redwoods, scenic views, meandering paths, three resting benches, usable level land, a private well for irrigation, and multiple areas for gardening. An outhouse and remnants of a tree house add a touch of rustic charm and endless possibilities. Practical updates include a new 1,500-gallon septic tank, new 200-amp main electrical panel and subpanel, newer water heater, and new water pump. Conveniently located just 10 minutes from shopping and town amenities and directly across from Happy Valley Elementary School. A truly special private sanctuary combining usable land, remarkable privacy, natural beauty, and convenient access to town, school and to Highway 17 for​​‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​ commuters.
