Built in 1985 as a custom home modeled after a turn-of-the-century farmhouse, 6756 Gato Road carries a European bohemian, artistic soul that announces itself the moment you arrive. Stained glass in the entry doors and kitchen, terracotta floors, & wood trim milled on site using period tools: this is a home with a point of view, & it has only become better with age. Forty years later, every major system and finish has been upgraded. The result is a rare property: a beautifully renovated main house, a private studio she-shed, a producing pecan orchard, two functioning wells, a full horse barn, a 2-car garage, and two acres in the heart of the Upper Valley.
Inside the 2,600 sq. ft. main house, two living areas, a dedicated office/study, a small wet bar, & a dedicated laundry room with washer & dryer create a layout built for daily comfort. Terracotta floors warm the main level; a custom hardwood staircase leads upstairs, where the two bedrooms are private & ensuite with full baths. (see supplemental remarks) A half bath serves the main floor. The zoned primary suite is on the main floor and is its own retreat: a freestanding clawfoot soaking tub, his-and-hers sinks and closets, a walk-in shower, and a bright skylight overhead. The primary bedroom has been reimagined with stained concrete floors, doorway tile detailing, and custom wood molding throughout. Upstairs bedrooms, hallways, and bathrooms are finished in beautiful, durable luxury vinyl plank. Hall bath fully renovated. All toilets replaced. New Minka ceiling fans with integrated lighting throughout. Fresh paint. ADT security system.
The separate studio she-shed is its own world: fully private, its own structure, its own dedicated climate system. The office looks out through custom-built windows to the full mountain views; the gym opens to the pecan orchard. Above, a sleeping loft makes this the perfect at-home getaway: a place to decompress, create, or simply disappear for an afternoon without leaving your own land.
Two fully insulated, weather-tight barn storage structures come fitted with heavy-duty metal storage racks throughout - whether you need a workshop, a tack and feed room, equipment storage, or room to grow a hobby, these spaces are ready. A full horse barn completes a property genuinely set up for horses, chickens, and goats.
The land itself is the other story. Two fully functioning wells are already in the ground. Forty-nine mature pecan trees, managed organically with an established harvest system in place, known buyers for the crop, a trusted sheller for personal use. Additional plantings of willow, madrone, and apple trees round out the orchard. Full sprinkler system throughout. Abundant outdoor lounging and dining space wraps the property, with a new outdoor side living area built for year-round use.
This custom farmhouse home with European bohemian soul, on two producing Upper Valley acres, fully upgraded and well maintained sprinkler system, orchard, and outbuildings all in working order, requiring minimal upkeep for the size of the land. With a dedicated office inside, a full studio she-shed steps from the back door, and reliable wells on nearly two private acres, this is an exceptional setup for anyone who works from home. A home with an artistic soul & a property that offers a way of life rarely found in the Upper Valley. Properties like this do no come on the market often - it is a must see!
