Property Description
A special Nevada City log home on 5 beautiful acres, offering the privacy and tranquility of a woodland retreat! As John Muir wrote, "Come to the woods for here is rest..." and this property captures that feeling from the moment you arrive. Follow the scenic drive over the Rock Creek bridge and through the canopy of oaks, cedars, madrones and pines. Sculpted manzanita trees greet you as you come in the driveway where all you can hear is the wind in the trees. This 2-story log cabin offers 4 bedrooms and 2 baths, a metal roof and features the warmth of the wood burning stove and a covered front deck overlooking the peaceful forest setting. Seller has provided mini-split heating and cooling, new carpeting, a home generator with push button start and TreeLink internet service for reliable connectivity. The encapsulated crawl-space helps lower utility bills and protects against moisture and pests, while a generous supply of firewood awaits cozy evenings by the stove. Set on 5 private acres yet only 15 minutes from the vibrant Gold Rush town of Nevada City, this property blends rustic charm with practical rural living. There is a reliable well with holding tank, fenced yard area, RV ramada with electrical access and water plus a composting outhouse and a older storage structure. Finally, The Round Mountain network of trails is nearby offering a touch of the Wild and Scenic for outdoor enthusiasts. This special wooded property offers a rare opportunity to immerse yourself in the beauty and serenity of Nevada County.
