This unique ranch has been handcrafted with love and artistic craftmanship for over 42 years. Nestled on the side of the mountain at an elevation of 4800 feet, 800 feet above the valley floor creating spectacular views of Big Valley and a stunning Mt. Shasta view. This 360 acre off grid property is a mountain paradise featuring a main home with fabulous high beamed ceilings, a cabin, shop and a very rare south facing Earthship type structure. Two root cellars built into the hillside, wooden multipurpose barn and several solar stations. Park like grounds with various rock gardens, walls and water features. From the first rock moved, the seller has created a one-of-a-kind multifamily homestead that will be treasured for years to come. Once you settle down on the large front deck with its fabulous view, the serenity will wrap around you, and you will never want to leave. MAIN HOME, logs came from Beaver log homes built in 1984 offering1220 sf of living space with high beamed ceilings, unique bald eagle-stained glass inset in the front peak.

Also, can be hooked up to well to generate more GPM. TWO STORY CABIN is nearly complete. It is wired and plumbed. Just waiting for a small solar system to be installed and the electrical plugs inside finished. It has a septic and both potable and outside waterlines. EARTHSHIP STRUCTURE is an amazing work of art, his rock wall was built by a man known for his expertise in the Reno, Tahoe area building many rock walls and water features. Instead of the traditional ''Tires stacked and concrete, this potential Earthship has the large rocks off the property providing more ''R'' value than the tire Earthships would. It faces south, ready for the framing to begin. The top plate is poured and ready for a roof. A home or shop built here will need very little extra heat, and like the rooms built off the shop with rock walls into the soil the rooms maintain an even temperature through the seasons. It has a septic, both potable and outside water lines. BARN structure has both water systems buried to the site, for convenience of feeding horses which the owners had for many years. There are 2 buried 20 ft containers used for root cellars. One at house, one at Earthship. Seasonal pond was perfect for stock water when the property was used for livestock spring grazing. At one time fully fenced, now in need of some repair. This mountain get-a-way offers extreme privacy yet is just 10 minutes to town.
