Property Description
Set on 8.5 sweeping acres in the quiet Holycross Canyon area, this Oracle retreat blends rustic charm with rare, hard to find garage and workshop capacity perfect for collectors, hobbyists, or anyone craving space, privacy, and panoramic mountain views. The single level 1,730 sq ft home welcomes you with a warm, inviting living room anchored by a wood-burning fireplace and framed by beamed ceilings and natural light. The kitchen offers an island, electric cooktop and oven, pantry closet, and easy flow into the dining area and custom wet bar, complete with running water and a small refrigerator ideal for entertaining without interrupting the cook.
