The story
Imagine owning 32 acres of your own Northern California mountain paradise, where breathtaking sunsets paint the surrounding peaks, the Trinity River flows just across the road, and some of the West Coast's most spectacular outdoor adventures are practically in your backyard. Welcome to 2995 Goose Ranch Road, a custom-built retreat offering an extraordinary combination of privacy, natural beauty, and endless possibilities. Located near the world-famous Trinity River, renowned for its steelhead and salmon fishing, the property is also within easy reach of the tranquil waters of Lewiston Lake, the boating and watersports of Trinity and Whiskeytown Lakes, and the magnificent Trinity Alps Wilderness, home to pristine alpine lakes, towering granite peaks, and hundreds of miles of hiking and backpacking trails. Built in 2008, the 2,321-square-foot home offers 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and a spacious wraparound deck where you can watch the evening sun illuminate the surrounding mountains. Inside, soaring ceilings, beautiful wood flooring, and a striking stone fireplace create a warm and inviting atmosphere. The main-level primary suite and laundry room offer everyday convenience, while a sunroom and a spacious loft above the attached two-car garage provide additional versatile spaces for a home office, recreation, or visiting guests. Two central air systems, a Generac generator, a private well, and high-speed internet bring modern comfort and convenience to this peaceful mountain setting. Affordability is another welcome surprise, with power supplied by Trinity PUD, known for some of California's lowest electricity rates, and favorable insurance costs thanks in part to substantial defensible space and a 5,000-gallon water storage tank. Beyond the home, more than 32 acres of wooded hillsides, open clearings, and fenced areas offer remarkable privacy and room to make trails, raise animals, or make the property your own. Two separate shops, including an enormous 40-by-70-foot main shop with three bays, power, and additional storage, provide exceptional space for boats, recreational vehicles, outdoor equipment, or ambitious projects. With its expansive acreage and proximity to some of Northern California's most sought-after recreational destinations, the property also presents intriguing possibilities for a vacation rental or additional guest accommodations, subject to applicable approvals. Just outside historic Lewiston and within easy reach of charming Weaverville, this is a place where mornings can begin with coffee overlooking the mountains and afternoons can be spent fly fishing, exploring alpine trails, or cruising the lake. Whether you envision a full-time residence, an unforgettable second home, or your own private outdoor basecamp, 2995 Goose Ranch Road offers something increasingly difficult to find: the freedom of wide-open spaces, the comforts of a custom-built home, and an extraordinary setting where adventure begins right from your doorstep.
