Here is your opportunity to own an ultra-private hillside sanctuary for the price of a track home in town! Tucked at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac, 9040 El Matador Dr. offers an extraordinary blend of serenity, nature, and breathtaking panoramic views across nearly 3 pristine acres. Surrounded by lush, sloped landscaping and natural beauty in every direction, this one-of-a-kind retreat was designed for those seeking privacy, tranquility, and seamless indoor-outdoor living. Expansive view decks invite you to relax, entertain, and take in the ever-changing scenery, while warm hardwood floors, granite countertops & dual fireplaces create an inviting atmosphere throughout. The primary suite feels like a private spa escape, complete with a jetted soaking tub perfectly positioned to capture the stunning hillside vistas. Thoughtfully integrated into its natural surroundings, the property also features a dramatic stone entry, oversized detached 2+ car garage with workshop and storage loft, RV parking, and even a private shooting range nestled within the wooded grounds. Just minutes from shopping, dining, and everyday conveniences, yet feeling a world away, this exceptional estate captures the essence of peaceful country living with unmatched privacy, character, and scenic beauty.
