Property Description

Rare Opportunity - A Fully Renovated Foothill Retreat on 21+ Private Acres. Welcome to one of Nevada County's most special offerings: a beautifully reimagined country estate tucked at the end of a quiet road, surrounded by the natural splendor of the Sierra Nevada foothills. Set on ~21 acres with Riparian rights to Deer Creek and peek-a-boo views of the Yuba River, this ~1734 square foot, 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home has been thoughtfully transformed from top to bottom - with over $100,000 in improvements over the past few years. This isn't your average foothill fixer, the work is already done. A brand-new roof caps the home, while new Hardie Board siding and fresh paint give the home striking curb appeal. New windows flood the house with natural light and frame views of the surrounding landscape. Step inside to find new flooring throughout, new fixtures, and new appliances - a home that feels crisp, clean, and move-in ready from the moment you arrive. Step outside onto two new decks perfectly positioned to take in the beauty of this remarkable property - one offering a bird's-eye view of the acreage, the other framing glimpses of Deer Creek below. Whether you're sipping morning coffee as the foothills wake up or entertaining under the stars, these outdoor spaces are unmatched. Inside, the home's classic bones shine through: vaulted ceilings, a large wood-burning fireplace, and generous living spaces that feel warm and welcoming. The property also features a ~400 sq ft studio with electricity and heating/cooling - ideal as a possible guest suite, creative studio, home office, or rental. Two additional outbuildings and a seasonal pond round out infrastructure ready for whatever you envision. Dream of a vineyard, an equestrian property, a homestead, or a legacy retreat? The agricultural zoning and scale of the property invite it all. And when you need to re-enter the world, you're just ~20 minutes from the charming shops and dining of Grass Valley. End-of-road privacy. Turn-key condition. Generational land. This is the one you've been waiting for!
