Rare Owner Builder Opportunity on 10 Usable Acres in North San Juan - Assessed at $600K! A standout opportunity for a contractor, investor, or owner-builder ready to finish a home already more than 1/2 of the way there. Set on 10 usable acres with easy, gated access off Ridge Rd, this 2,672 SF, 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath residence has a fully complete exterior featuring durable metal roofing and a covered wraparound Trex composite porch built to last and all dual-pane windows throughout. A key highlight is the complete, move-in-ready guest unit above the garage with its own full kitchen, living area, bedroom and full bathroom, ideal as a rental, in-law suite, or your living quarters while you finish the main house. The primary residence is framed with rough plumbing and electrical already in, giving a builder a clean, permit-ready canvas to customize the interior to their own finishes and floor plan. The land has been cleared surrounding the home - it's a homesteader's dream, with two gated entries, established fruit trees, a garden area, a chicken coop, a wood shed, a silo (not in current use), and additional outbuildings. Great home upgrades include a tankless water heater and a strong well tested at 15 GPM (per Peter's Drilling, 2002). The property carries an active occupancy permit, with all permits currently open and in good standing with Sierra County. For outdoor enthusiasts, the location is hard to beat. Downieville, the mountain biking capital of the Sierra Nevada, offers roughly 500 miles of trails including the famed Downieville Downhill. New Bullards Bar Reservoir is close by with 55 miles of shoreline for boating, wakeboarding, kayaking, and fishing. The Yuba River with renowned turquoise swimming holes, gold panning, and whitewater rafting, and Tahoe National Forest is within reach for hiking and horseback riding. Gold Rush history is close at hand too, with Malakoff Diggins State Historic Park nearby. This is a rare chance for outdoor lovers and builders alike to secure 10 acres and a more than half-finished home - priced well below assessed value!
