Rural luxury home within minutes of Clovis comes with 'income-producing potential’

What does luxury and country living with convenient city amenities still nearby look like in the Fresno area?

An elegant European-inspired estate that’s for sale in rural Clovis checks such boxes, providing countryside and rolling hills views but also a quick drive from suburban activities and services.

Located a couple of miles east of Highway 168 and just south of Shepherd Avenue, the 6,587-square foot home at 8584 N. Madsen Ave. offers a combination of architectural grandeur and rural lands spanning 18.4 acres.

And yet if having a Starbucks or a McDonald’s or even hospital close by is desired, it’s all about 10 minutes away.

“Situated on expansive acreage with breathtaking views, the property offers a resort-style pool, large shop, mature landscaping, established gardens, and a thriving orchard with a variety of fruit trees,” listing agent Jessica Montag wrote on social media. “This property is horse-ready with ample room for horses, livestock, and a wide range of agricultural or recreational uses.”

The asking price is $2.25 million.

It’s not just a six-bedroom, five-bathroom house that’s part of the deal.

Buyers seeking multi-general living, or separate quarters to rent out or allow friends or other family to live in might be interested to know about the second residence on the property.

It’s located approximately 50 yards from the main home and comes with its own two-car garage, gourmet kitchen with double ovens and center island.

The main residence, of course, is the primary draw — with the grand arched entry, subtle balcony accents and distinctive turret that all highlight the European countryside aesthetic.

At the center of the house sits a chef’s kitchen outfitted with professional-grade Viking appliances, a dual-oven gas range, granite surfaces and an oversized walk-in pantry. In the primary living area, a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace serves as a central anchor, while flexible spaces include a formal dining room outfitted as a library retreat and an executive office.

The backyard has additional space with a swimming pool framed by lawns and trees. There are also established garden beds and an orchard.

And the additional lands lend itself to having horses, livestock and/or recreational vehicles on site.

The property, Montag said, offers “a rare combination of luxury, privacy, and income-producing potential.”
