The story
Discover a truly one-of-a-kind private retreat designed for those who value space, comfort, recreation, and self-sufficient luxury. Remote yet refined, this exceptional property offers the rare opportunity to step away from it all without sacrificing quality, convenience, or thoughtful design. For the buyer seeking a secure ''Plan B,'' a recreational sanctuary, or a sustainable lifestyle property, this is a remarkable offering. Comprised of two parcels totaling approximately 452 acres, the property showcases sweeping open views in beautiful Northeastern California. Located in NE Lassen County at approximately 3,500 feet in elevation, the land offers privacy, usable acreage, and an inspiring natural setting with expansive skies and panoramic vistas. The main 313-acre parcel encompasses a naturally separate 40+/- acres with tentative subdivision map of five parcels and a well, to more secluded setting accessed by a paved road and private entrance. A well-maintained road leads to the heart of the property, where recreation, sustainability, and refined country living come together. Within the main 4,000+/- sf structure is a beautifully appointed 1-bedroom, 2.5-bath living quarters. The open-concept living room and kitchen feature granite slab counters, quality cabinetry, and a generous pantry, while central heat and air provide year-round comfort. Designed with self-sufficiency in mind, the home also includes an Amish-style woodstove that radiates heat, supports cooking, and can circulate heated water to the primary bathroom. The spacious primary bath offers a granite-topped double vanity and ample walk-in closet space, creating a comfortable and elevated living experience. Adjacent to the suite is a 750 sq. ft. area currently used as a gym with an enclosed laundry room. The expansive shop area includes a full bathroom, built-in cabinetry, a basketball court, woodstove, with two 12' x 14' roll-up doors suitable for large equipment. Additional bedrooms could be added with ease. Multiple interior access points open to the rear of the building, where four large bays--one enclosed, two open, and one with a garage door provide flexible storage and workspace. Two 8' x 20' Conex boxes offer secure storage, while a fully fenced orchard, raised-bed garden area, and chicken coop support a sustainable lifestyle. The entire structure features metal siding and a metal roof accented by attractive wood details, with interior sprinklers supported by a separate fire-suppression system and buried propane tanks for added safety and clean lines. Off the living area, a hard-surface entertainment space with built-in BBQs, concrete picnic tables, and lighting creates an inviting place to gather and enjoy the surrounding privacy. A separate ADU, known as the ''bunk house,'' adds impressive flexibility for guests, extended stays, caretakers, or additional living space. This approximately 1,200 sq. ft. home offers forced-air heat/ air conditioning, a woodstove, one bedroom, one bathroom, a bright open floor plan, separate laundry and dining area, large closets, and a full bathroom. Exterior storage options include three side bays that may offer future conversion potential, with plumbing already positioned for added bedrooms or a bathroom, along with three additional bays on the backside. The property is serviced by one well supplying the homes, supported by a 2,500-gallon water storage tank for added security. A graveled road continues past the pump house to the additional 140-acre parcel along the Pittville Bench, where a spectacular potential homesite offers sweeping views of the Fall River Valley, the Pit River, and ranchlands below, framed by Mt. Lassen to the south and Mt. Shasta to the north. Everywhere you look, the property reflects an uncommon level of care, planning, and meticulous construction in this versatile property.
