Nestled on the side of the mountain at an elevation of 4800 feet, 800 feet above the valley floor creating spectacular views of Big Valley and a stunning Mt. Shasta view. This 360 acre off grid property is a mountain paradise featuring a main home with fabulous high beamed ceilings, a cabin, shop and a very rare south facing Earthship
type structure. Two root cellars built into the hillside, wooden multipurpose barn and several solar stations. Park like grounds with various rock gardens, walls and water features. From the first rock moved, the seller has created a one-of-a-kind multifamily homestead that will be treasured for years to come. Once you settle down on the large front deck with its fabulous view, the serenity will wrap around you, and you will never want to leave. MAIN HOME, logs came from Beaver log homes built in 1984 offering1220 sf of living space with high beamed ceilings, unique bald eagle-stained glass inset in the front peak. Open kitchen, dining and living area, wood stove on lava rock corner hearth, one bedroom, two baths and laundry. Pantry and all new battery bank in hall, all on main floor. Open stairs to upper loft. Slider to front porch with a stunning view of Mt. Shasta. New metal roof. Multiple rock gardens, outdoor kitchen with rock pizza oven. Raised platform over wood 10,000-gallon water storage tank now used as dipping pool. LARGE WOODEN SHOP with partial concrete floor, workshop in the middle, lounge area with wood stove. 2 craft rooms, sauna and 1/2 bath. Green house attached to back with wood stove. Battery bank has been redone. Several outside sitting areas overlooking fenced in garden and small orchard. Chicken coop behind shop. WELL HOUSE is insulated with storage room. Water well is 800 ft and tested 50 GPM. Solar pump set at 740 ft. producing 5 GPM. The water is fed into a 1000-gallon potable storage tank, also feeds 2 - 10,000-gallon outdoor water tanks. 2 generators (20 kw, diesel, 3 phase) can run the house and shop. Also, can be hooked up to well to generate more GPM. TWO STORY CABIN is nearly complete. It is wired and plumbed. Just waiting for a small solar system to be installed and the electrical plugs inside finished. It has a septic and both potable and outside waterlines. EARTHSHIP STRUCTURE is an amazing work of art, his rock wall was built by a man known for his expertise in the Reno, Tahoe area building many rock walls and water features. Instead of the traditional ''Tires stacked and concrete, this potential Earthship has the large rocks off the property providing more ''R'' value than the tire Earthships would. It faces south, ready for the framing to begin. The top plate is poured and ready for a roof. A home or shop built here will need very little extra heat, and like the rooms built off the shop with rock walls into the soil the rooms maintain an even temperature through the seasons. It has a septic, both potable and outside water lines. BARN structure has both water systems buried to the site, for convenience of feeding horses which the owners had for many years. There are 2 buried 20 ft containers used for root cellars. One at house, one at Earthship. Seasonal pond was perfect for stock water when the property was used for livestock spring grazing. At one time fully fenced, now in need of some repair. This mountain get-a-way offers extreme privacy yet is just 10 minutes to town.
