Welcome to a true Northern California retreat where adventure, wildlife, and wide-open space meet comfort and breathtaking views. This incredible property features 55 acres of rolling terrain with established trails, perfect for exploring on horseback, ATV, or simply enjoying peaceful walks through nature. Seasonal creeks, natural springs, and ponds create a beautiful landscape that attracts abundant wildlife year-round. For hunters and wildlife enthusiasts, the back acreage has produced antler sheds and frequent sightings of turkeys, wild pigs, and large bucks passing through the property. The seasonal pond creates a small oasis where ducks and turtles regularly gather, making it a peaceful place to watch nature unfold. Equestrians and livestock owners will appreciate the 2 large fenced pastures and a well-equipped 4-stall barn, complete with feed room, tack room, power, and water. Each 12x12 stall includes its own run, providing excellent space and comfort for horses or livestock. The property also features a large chicken coop along with additional small critter pens and shelters, making it ideal for those looking to raise chickens, goats, or other small animals. Additionally, it is set up for everything with a private shooting range, two storage outbuildings, and a large shop featuring power, water, a swamp cooler, and 220V —perfect for projects, equipment storage, or hobbies. Thoughtful infrastructure adds peace of mind, including fire hose hookups throughout the front of the property, a deep well, and a large gravity-fed water storage tank for additional water security. Perched at the top of the hill, the property offers unmatched panoramic views of Mt. Lassen and Mt. Shasta, along with unforgettable sunsets that light up the valley each evening. The home sits beside 1,000 acres of neighboring farmland, giving you the quiet and privacy of country living while still being close to town—with Walmart grocery delivery and local food spots that deliver right to your door.
