Uniquely located on an exclusive bluff looking down upon the very private Rising River and Hat Creek. This custom-designed off grid, log home on 20+ acres overlooks the valley below offering stunning views of the Rising River, Hat Creek, Rising River Lake and the valley below. Originally designed by William Turnbull Jr., an American Bay Area architect whose unique building designs challenged the more traditional architecture of California's west coast. The original build was started in 1987 and was purchased and finished by the current owners in 2015. A visit is necessary to fully appreciate the special opportunity this property offers. Upon entering, one cannot help but be impressed by the understated elegance and craftsmanship.

Wall-to-wall windows and doors to the south fully encompass the incredible views that very few will ever get to enjoy. This property is ideal for privacy seekers, nature lovers or those searching for a serene retreat. The panoramic view from the rear deck overlooks the rivers, and valley below making the bald eagles and osprey your companions.
