The private, three-acre property is located above the Upper Village and a quick stroll away from front-country trails. At $7,775,000, it’s already far and away the best value in town—and the seller is very motivated.
Last week’s sales also include a Hot Springs five-bedroom with ADU; half-old, half-new compound on Sycamore Canyon Road; stairs and views on Las Alturas; spec reno near Hendry’s Beach; 1928 Chapala cottage with funky walls; and more.
