Walnut Hollow

PROPERTY DESCRIPTION: Walnut Hollow is a 95+ acre diamond in the rough located in West Point, Calaveras County. This property is an idyllic family compound or recreational property that has been very well developed and maintained over the years by the same family since the 1970s. As you drive along Stanley Road, you will see the neat rows of Franquette, Hartley, and Chandler walnut trees that make up the orchard. Enter through the wrought-iron gates, and you will feel instantly at home in your own Sierra Foothills estate (just over an hour to Kirkwood ski area, under 2 hours from Lake Tahoe, about 90 minutes from Sacramento, and less than 3 hours from San Francisco). The main 2,150 square foot ranch house was completely remodeled in late 2009 and boasts of a gourmet kitchen, granite countertops, stainless appliances, an open floorplan, and beautiful walnut hardwood floors in the main common areas. Sitting on the front porch, you will likely see the local wildlife that includes deer, black bear, bobcat, raccoons, foxes, wild turkey, quail, and dove. The historic 2,700 square-foot guest house is a perfect setup for a family compound or a generous guest house for your out-of-town visitors. The 2.5 surface-acre pond makes an inviting spot to have a picnic, and it has the potential to be stocked with bass for your own private fishing spot. The other outbuildings include sheds, a pole barn, a large metal 40' x 60' storage building that houses the owner's harvest equipment, and the property has a contract with Diamond Nut for the annual walnut harvest.
