A fresh contemporary farmhouse design drenched in natural light and layered with exceptional details and amenities graces a fabulous 5-acre property filled with possibilities.

Come home to this slice of country paradise designed for horses, a lot of horsepower and more. The property is perfect for creating the ultimate equestrian center with an added barn, stalls, arena and grazing pastures or for that car enthusiast to take advantage of the two garages and a total of eight bays. Two bays feature vaulted ceilings to accommodate a car lift or RV.

Located on a premium cul-de-sac, 475 Torrano Court in Hollister is within walking distance to Spring Grove Elementary (K-8), a California Distinguished School, and about 8 miles to downtown.

About 4,200 square feet of living space on two levels includes six bedrooms and four bathrooms, formal rooms, a gourmet eat-in kitchen, an executive office, and a primary suite featuring a 30-foot-long walk-in dream closet. A 750-square-foot apartment above a five-car garage features one bedroom and one bathroom, a full kitchen and living room, plus a 300-square-foot covered deck. This unit also includes central air conditioning and a washer and dryer and is ideal for a possible income-producing rental, guests or caretakers.

Drive through the gated circular driveway to the grand and impressive entry and a wrap-around porch and envision sitting a spell with a cold beverage while enjoying the mountain views that sweep from Morgan Hill to Pacheco Pass. Take advantage of the sprawling outdoor entertaining mecca with a large patio, a solar-heated pool and spa with an automatic cover, dozens of trees, and lots of room to further customize for your lifestyle. Consider an outdoor kitchen, cabana, bocce ball or tennis court, with a view of the level pastures and distant mountains.

Current owners extensively updated this home, spending around $500,000 and have meticulously maintained the home to shine in like-new condition. Among its many features beginning at the two-story foyer are gleaming hardwood floors, crown molding, tray ceilings, travertine tile in the bathrooms, freshly painted interior and exterior, and an open floor plan with oversize windows to frame the spectacular views.

Formal living and dining rooms are spacious rooms designed to accommodate large gatherings. Step into the gourmet kitchen updated with stunning ogee-edge granite slab counters, a decorative tile backsplash, custom-painted cabinetry with under lighting and upper glass-faced cabinets, two stainless sinks, and an island/breakfast bar illuminated by a pair of pendant lights. The kitchen is also well-appointed with stainless appliances, including a KitchenAid six-burner, dual-oven range, a Bosch dishwasher, and a built-in Thermador refrigerator with front cabinet-matching panels. The adjacent casual dining nook is perfectly set in a bay window.

A gas fireplace with an updated travertine surround and carved mantel anchors the expansive family room. This room also features built-ins and a sliding glass door to the patio and pool.

Also on the main level is an executive office with a dramatic box-beam ceiling and a pair of built-in cabinets.

The primary suite behind a double-door entry on the upper level features a vaulted ceiling and view windows. The luxurious en suite features travertine floors and counters, a dual-sink vanity, a jetted tub and an oversize shower. Updated fixtures and painted cabinetry create a stunning room. A walk-in closet spans 30 feet and is filled with custom built-in shelving. Dormer windows provide lots of natural light.

Additional features include dual furnaces and central air conditioning, a deep freezer, a butler’s pantry with an additional refrigerator and one-year-young LG front-loading washer and dryer. Park in a three-car garage attached to the home or a five-car detached garage.

Centrally located between Monterey and San Jose, each about an hour’s drive, this property is about 13 miles from Highway 101 and about 16 miles from Gilroy. Hop on Highway 152 nearby to connect with Highway 5, about 33 miles away.
