Private and gated, this 48-acre oasis is an extremely rare find, offering a sense of deep seclusion while being centrally located. Just 2 miles to the charming Gold Rush towns of both Grass Valley and Nevada City, the main house boasts a wood-burning grand open fireplace, hickory cabinets, granite countertops, radiant heated floors, skylight, and a large, open loft. At just over 1800 square feet, the main house has 2-3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. Adjacent to the main house, connected by a covered breezeway, you will find the Grotto, which includes an indoor hot tub spa with vaulted ceilings, an open-air wood-burning fireplace, custom rock work, oversized windows, and a massage room.
The 5 smaller dwellings also have vaulted ceilings, hickory cabinets, either marble or granite countertops, modern clawfoot tubs, vessel sinks, garden windows, skylights, wood floors, French doors, covered decks, and intricate artisan details including commissioned stained-glass windows unique to each home. Each cabin features 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom and all but 1 also have full-sized lofts, potentially doubling their sleeping capacity. Along with the “HideAway” guest house and the tiny cabin, there are 13 possible sleeping areas. All living structures on the property are fully permitted and of newer construction, finished in 2019.
Hence, they have newer code compliance systems such as fire suppression sprinkler systems, and each home has their own on-demand water heater.
The property itself is truly an incredible experience to explore, and gives you the feeling of immersion into your own private sanctuary. Among Pine Trees, Cedars, Oaks, and Madrones, you will find year-round Wolf Creek running through the property, harmonized by a trail that meanders alongside the creek, leading to two waterfalls. The swimming pond features a white sandy beach and small boathouse complete with an outdoor shower. There is also a drinking water fountain by the boat house. A huge fenced organic garden, with fruit trees and four varieties of grapes greets you as you make your way to the original farmhouse. Partially finished and recently used as a multi-studio art, craft and music space, the original farmhouse has had a new roof, foundation work, and electrical work.
Additionally, there are two wells, an automatic generator, underground utilities, high-speed internet for remote work at home, and a solar array with Tesla power walls for a sustainable lifestyle.
Located in the highly acclaimed Deer Creek/Nevada City school district, this hidden treasure is in an ideal location just 1 hour from Tahoe/Truckee, 1 hour from Sacramento and 2.5 hours from the Bay Area with a small private airport close by in Grass Valley.
Please consider there is 72 hours notice prior to showing, full proof of funds is needed to schedule an appointment, and all appointments will be in the afternoon. We look forward to touring you around this truly incredible property!
