The story
A genuinely self-sufficient mountain retreat, this 40-acre forested parcel comes with a ground-mounted solar array wired into its own inverter and charge controller, plus multiple large-capacity water storage tanks already in place, giving a buyer real off-grid capability rather than just the promise of it. The home centers on a striking great room built with exposed timber posts and beams beneath a vaulted tongue-and-groove wood ceiling, rich wood floors, and a kitchen finished with dark countertops and white cabinetry opening straight into the main living space. Spanning 2,000 square feet with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms across 40 acres zoned Timber Production, the layout also includes a dedicated game room with space for a pool table and a primary suite finished in a deep blue accent wall. Beyond the main house, a detached barn-style shop building adds real utility, with an upper loft level, tool and equipment storage, and covered lean-to areas for firewood and gear, plus a smaller outbuilding for additional storage. The current owner has done real work here, including rebuilt decking using his own hand-milled hardwood, with leftover milled lumber available to the next owner. Multiple entries open onto rock-lined garden beds, young landscaping, and sweeping forest and mountain views that turn into unforgettable sunsets from the property most evenings. Tucked along Highway 36 outside Bridgeville in Humboldt County, this is privacy on a scale that is hard to find, forested acreage with genuine timber and seclusion value, dependable water storage already staged, and a solar system already doing real work, all wrapped around a warm, owner-built home that feels lived in rather than staged for a photo. Whether the draw is a true homestead, a hunting and recreation retreat, room to run equipment and toys, or simply distance from everyone else, this property delivers the space, the structures, and the systems already in place to make that lifestyle possible from day one. Bridgeville School District is located in Humboldt County.
