Trade traffic and density for 10 acres of redwoods, fresh mountain air, star-filled skies, and room to grow - but close to Silicon Valley. This 1,734 ft2, spacious and charming 3-bedroom, 1-bath home with several additional rooms, ample storage, a second bathroom waiting to be complete, and a lofty separate ADU offers an uncommon combination of affordability, independence, and natural beauty. All within a secure gated community where folks take pride in their tradition of mountain-style reliability, hospitality, and mutual care. The home is off-grid, with several large flat, usable areas perfect for gardens, vineyards, outdoor entertainment, and recreation. The ADU, while far enough away for optimum privacy, adds flexibility for multigenerational living, guests, a private workspace, or rental income. The artisan-built kitchen features hand-milled cabinetry, creek-rock trimming, gas burners, and a new exhaust fan. The open-plan living/dining room boasts floor-to-vaulted-ceiling windows, partly tiled flooring, and gleaming redwood cabinetry. From the living room you step out onto a wide ground-level deck, then into a clearing surrounded by towering coast redwoods. A hand-crafted wood-burning stove in the living room will keep you toasty during chilly autumn evenings. The centrally located den/office room, adjacent to the living room and with optimal outdoor views, allows for remote working in the heart of the home - close to kitchen, bathroom, and front door. The expansive ground-floor-level primary bedroom has its own door out into a leafy redwood-shaded creekside private retreat. This room features skylights as well as extra-thick rafter insulation and a dedicated gas heater. Up a few short steps from the living room, enjoy the light-drenched upper level which features several east-facing windows staircased along the eastern wall. The larger room has it's own separate entrance, while the smaller room features a storage loft. A carport has space for 1 car; 3-4 more cars can comfortably fit in the driveway area. A community-owned spring provides year-round water stored in a 2500 gallon water tank, with additional storage available. And, walk to your own creek! Lovingly designed and hand built by a renowned local mountain man for optimal mountain living - includes several unique refinements, such as an open design and glowing woodwork. Come experience the best of mountain living!
