Description

When it comes to rural retreats, tradition tends to demand excellence. The private enclave of Badger Hill Estate fits the bill. Nestled high on a hill, the gated community highlights upscale amenities such as 24-hour guard service, a clubhouse and tennis courts.

This gorgeous estate setting on over an acre of manicured landscaping gives the feeling of the Italian countryside. Numerous trees and lush vegetation open to a tranquil waterfall. The Grand entrance to the Villa begins at the outdoor courtyard and continues to a double door floor to ceiling glass entrance and a second level terrace. With a porcelain marble entry with glazed terra cotta inlays that reach from side to side, create the beginning of the two story living area. Hickory hardwood floors warm the large area that is framed by 16 foot windows that treat you to unbelievable views of the Sierra mountains and the valleys below. Just to the right side the kitchen features a Thor range, a built in Forno refrigerator, and a quartz island with waterfall edges are a chef's dream. An abundance of custom cabinetry complimented by designer hardware and lighting. Uncork a bottle of Chianti from your private climate-controlled wine area and carry a glass to the main suite and sip while taking in the countryside from your private second floor patio. The master bath has the feel of luxury. The large soaking tub also takes advantage of the views. Custom tile work in all bathrooms gives a sense of opulence that is carried throughout the home. Make an appointment for your private tour of this gorgeous villa. You will not be disappointed

    "Exeter is quiet and safe. The trees on our street are very mature and large. The homes are older but well cared for and close to a nice public golf course. There are schools close by and many people walking with families and dogs. It’s really lovely. "

    "Exeter is quaint and quiet. The downtown is thriving with a variety of restaurants. Tourists come for the dining and the murals, and also because it’s on the way to Sequoia National Park. Cool, clean little town with friendly people. "

    "Exeter is an awesome place for those winding down in life and looking for a quiet safe place to live. If you are looking for a racy lifestyle you will be disappointed, however, if you are looking for a great place to retire, or to start retiring, this is a good choice. It is quiet, the neighborhoods are safe, and the people care about the community. The coast is 2 hours away as well as wineries, the mountains are within 40 minutes. The only drawback is the college in Visalia is not quite as develped as it should or could be. It would be nice if they had a broader selection of classes for adults, art, cooking, writing, languages etc....then it would be awsome!"
