243-Acre Off-Grid Mountain Estate | Turnkey Retreat Compound | 10 Min to Hwy 101
Wake up to birdsong and valley views from your own 243-acre mountaintop in California's Humboldt County — fully off-grid, fully self-sufficient, and just 10 minutes from Highway 101.
This turnkey estate combines a 4,000 sq ft custom-built main residence with multiple cabins, gathering spaces, wellness facilities, gardens, and complete energy and water independence — all on one of the largest private, contiguous landholdings available in Northern California.
The main home features four bedrooms, four full baths, hardwood floors throughout, radiant subfloor heating, a dedicated office, library, and family room. The primary suite includes a jetted soaking tub and a private balcony overlooking the valley. Built in 2008, the home was designed for year-round mountain living with no compromise on comfort.
Beyond the main residence: a separate two-story cabin with its own kitchen and baths, multiple guest and sleeping cabins, an indoor community lounge and event space, a sauna house, and established organic gardens and greenhouse areas with fruit trees. Internal roads and trails connect the entire property.
The estate runs independently on a 12kW solar array with backup generators, and draws from a year-round well and spring system with 16,500 gallons of on-site water storage. No utility bills. No dependency on the grid.
Originally developed as the YMAA Retreat Center by Dr. Jwing-Ming Yang — an internationally recognized Qigong and martial arts master who founded 45 schools across 18 countries and authored over 60 books — every structure was sited with intention. The property was featured by ESPN and drew students and visitors from around the world for more than a decade. That legacy of stewardship is embedded in the land.
Ready for its next chapter as a private mountain compound, wellness or yoga retreat, family legacy property, or creative live-work estate. All major infrastructure is in place — move in and make it yours.

What the owner loves about this home
This land offers a kind of peace that's almost impossible to find. Tucked into the mountains and surrounded by forested ridgelines, the property feels like its own hidden world — yet it's only a 10-minute drive from Highway 101 and a short trip to the towns of Miranda and Garberville.
I love waking up to morning light filtering through the trees and ending the day under a sky full of stars. The water here comes from natural springs and a deep well — it's some of the purest you'll ever taste. The solar system powers everything quietly, and the organic gardens and fruit trees make the place feel genuinely self-sustaining.
There's room here to create, to gather, or simply to breathe. Whether it's the sauna after a long hike, meals with friends in the community lounge, or watching the sunset from a cabin porch — this place slows life down and reminds you what matters.
