About This Home

Welcome to 38065 Murrieta Creek Drive — where your backyard opens up to towering trees, verdant open space, and majestic hills and mountains rising in the distance, creating a private natural backdrop unlike anything else. Nestled on one of the most coveted addresses in all of Copper Canyon, a masterfully planned community at the base of the Santa Rosa Plateau in the heart of West Murrieta, Murrieta Creek Drive sits alongside the serene Murrieta Creek Regional Trail — a lush greenbelt corridor of open space, walking trails, and natural landscape that makes this street feel like a world apart, offering a rare sense of seclusion and prestige, like a private island tucked within one of Southern California's most desirable communities — complete with no HOA, low taxes, and access to award-winning schools including the perfect 10-rated Cole Canyon Elementary. This exceptional property spans just over 2900 square feet total and offers incredible versatility with a private ADU studio featuring its own bedroom, full bathroom, kitchenette, large closet, and separate entrance — ideal for guests, extended family, a private home office, or rental income. The main home at 2,648 sq ft offers 4 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, welcoming you with formal living and dining rooms bathed in an abundance of natural light that flows beautifully throughout every corner of the home, a newly remodeled kitchen showcasing brand-new stainless steel appliances that opens seamlessly to a spacious family room anchored by a cozy fireplace. The secondary bathrooms have been beautifully remodeled, new carpeting flows throughout, and a freshly painted exterior adds instant curb appeal alongside a brand-new AC unit. The dedicated downstairs laundry room adds everyday convenience, while the massive upstairs loft — currently serving as a home theater — offers endless possibilities. Step outside to a beautifully landscaped backyard paradise complete with lush fruit trees, a garden, chicken coop, and a shed, all framed by breathtaking views of the greenbelt, trees, and mountain skyline that make this home as extraordinary outside as it is within. And when you're ready to venture out, an excellent selection of restaurants, shops, and everyday conveniences are just minutes away — offering the perfect balance of peaceful retreat and modern accessibility.
