10535 Silva Avenue

Morning light shadows dance across the hardwood floors as the forest brings balance with steadfast presence. The house settles around you with the quiet confidence of a place built for more than ordinary days. On two parcels totaling roughly six acres within walking distance to Nevada City, this custom 2007 home by Jesse Connor feels elevated yet deeply rooted. Stone and redwood siding welcomes and warms sunlight through the pines. Inside, open-beam ceilings soar above the fireplace with wide views of forest, roses, and Little Deer Creek. A wine cellar, home gym, and steam shower turn ordinary days into something restorative. The kitchen, anchored by a Morice range, dual built-in Fisher & Paykel dishwashers, Dacor warming oven, and Bosch in-counter mixer, is made for long meals and easy gatherings. Outside, the property opens into possibility. An outdoor kitchen and pool frame summer evenings. Weddings have been celebrated here, revealing how naturally the land holds people. A 600-square-foot ADU offers flexible space for guests or additional living, with clear potential for short-term rental income in a high-demand area. City water and a private well for irrigation provide a high degree of water security. Fenced grounds and a covered stall invite a horse or two, small livestock, or expanded gardens. RA-5 zoning supports low-density residential living alongside secondary agricultural and agritourism uses. With appropriate permitting, the property can accommodate event hosting, ADU rental, equine pursuits, or small-scale agritourism that fits the rural character of the foothills. Enjoy City amenities with County flexibility. This is not simply a beautiful house. It is a private compound with room to breathe, water to rely on, and zoning that keeps the door open to both quiet living and thoughtful enterprise; ready for the next owner to live deeply, host meaningfully, and create a life that feels as considered as the home itself.
