Overview

Description

Welcome to 1163 Morning Star Drive, an amazing, secluded & peaceful property within the Morning Star Ranch community. Paved roads bring you to the property line of the home, set on 38.12 acres with panoramic mountain views, birding, hiking & e-biking from your home. This beautiful 2,699 sq. ft. home has view windows & doors throughout, with a balance of privacy, comfort & space, 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and many updates throughout the home.
