This is truly one of the most private settings you'll ever find! You cannot see the house, the 2 shops, the solar array or any of the other improvements on this property from the road. Conversely, you cannot see any of your neighbors' places from most of the 37-acre property - you have to hike to the top of the hill, well away from the house for that. This property comes with a fully owned solar system that was engineered to run the house, the well and the two shops when they were in full operation. It's backed up by a propane Generac generator. And for approximately 10 more years, you can sell your extra electricity to PG&E at a reasonable rate! At 795 sq ft, the house is small, simple and well maintained; what more do you need? Heated and cooled with a new mini-split system, supplemented by a wood burning stove, you'll be comfortable all year round. The property has two wells, one is solar only and the other is tied into the grid & solar system. This is a one-of-a-kind property, don't let it slip by!!!

The 60 ft. x 20 ft. four car garage has a gravel floor, and both front and rear man doors. A two- sided D-log shelter neatly hides the 1,000 gallon propane tank for the Main house. A small chicken coop is behind the garage. There is a 60 ft. x 24 ft. coach which has two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The coach has a new blue, metal roof, all new windows, and about half if it received new siding. All new wood flooring except for the tile in the two bathrooms and utility room. The wood burning stove pretty much heats the whole “house”, but there is a 500-gallon propane tank for the new hot water heater, the kitchen stove, the propane refrigerator and for a space heater as well. On one side there was added a 65 ft. x 15 ft. redwood deck and railings. There are two storage sheds located below the main house. The main house and the coach each have a septic tank. The well is near the top of the hill. One of the water tanks is aluminum, obviously the body of a milk truck or water tanker. The other tank is the typical Army green one about 8 feet tall. The well pump was replaced last year along with 400 ft of new hose. The flow is currently at 16 gallons per minute and has never run dry. Both the solar and batteries have been upgraded with a total of twenty new panels from Canada to handle full time occupation. There are generators to act as backups for the solar. The house was built about forty years ago without permits. However, we have the CA Fair Plan.
