13491 Borden Rd, Herald, CA 95638

5 acres in Herald held by the same owners for more than forty years. The great room sets the tone: vaulted ceilings with exposed wood beams, floor-to-ceiling windows, and a rock fireplace large enough to heat the entire house. On rainy days the windows fill with light and the sound of rain on the roof. At the holidays, that ceiling has cleared a ten-foot Christmas tree. A formal dining room opens off the main living space. A room with its own half bath and separate exterior entrance functions as in-law quarters, a guest suite, or a home office with private access. Out back, a large deck overlooks a koi pond with a waterfall, stocked and running. Eucalyptus scents the air. A small shop sits at the rear of the property with two horse stalls off the rear of it, both ready to be brought back into service. The front pasture was once a riding arena, and the sand is still there under the grass. Views open to the Sierra Foothills and to hundreds of acres of vineyards directly across the road. Five usable acres, room for horses, and the quiet that comes with it.
