Either as a full-time residence or your weekend destination, this 1,157 sf, custom cabin-home with large shop and garden area on 5 acres is sure to exceed your expectations! Located at the end of the road, the property is south facing with views of the valley floor in the winter and additional tree clearing could open up a year-round view. The modern cabin-home design has one large great room with a loft, plus bathroom with a large custom shower. The kitchen features high-end cabinets, granite countertops, gas range and dishwasher. Bamboo (Cali custom) floors throughout the main floor and the stairs and loft have carpet. The cabin faces south and is designed to utilize the sun for warmth in the winter and a large overhang provides shade in the summer, in addition to a mini split for both heating and cooling. Home is built to 2020 code with fire-resistive materials and interior fire sprinklers. In addition to the home, there is a 1500 square foot (30’ x 50’) metal building with 12’ walls to 15’ apex and concrete slab throughout. The back 750 sq ft is fully insulated enclosed, climate controlled space. The front 750 has insulated ceiling. This shop has 200 amp service, 3 mini splits, and a 24kw back up Generac generator with its own propane tank (backs up the whole property). Structures and utilities are permitted through Butte County. The well is an approx. 800 ft deep “Earl Watson” well shared with two neighbors, and has consistently produces quality water. Per seller, in the past 12 years of ownership, they have had no issues with water, even during heavy use and a prolonged drought. There’s a mix of large pine and oak trees throughout the property and an established garden area. Seller had planned to build detached bedrooms, however their plans have changed, so maybe you would like to pick up where they left off? Seller shared that “Everything is overbuilt and high quality because we always intended on this being our home forever.” Don’t miss out on this great opportunity to live simply in a beautiful, modern cabin or to keep building and create your own master-planned retreat in the woods!
