RARE RIVERFRONT HOME along the Mokelumne River, near Clements CA. This unique home sits back just 15' from the upper bank of the beautiful year-round river. There are two major water reservoirs and numerous smaller dams above in the Sierras, which tame and control the flow of the river. The more or less 13.4 acres includes both sides of the river, a Hartley walnut orchard, a mix of 14 fruit trees, and both wild and domestic blackberries. This is one of the prettiest, tranquil and private homes in CA that is still within easy driving distance of several cities. The land across the river is undeveloped wilderness, where you can spot the nests of the largest egret rookery in the region. If you hear a splash, it may be a 40-inch chinook salmon or a 25-inch steelhead trout! This casual country style home was designed to be open to the outdoors, with 8 sets of French doors and with casement windows. The huge great room can easily hold 100 people for family events such as the reception festivities, after the marriage itself has been performed on the lawn along the lower bank of the river. The Ag-20 zoning allows as many horses, goats or chickens as you want. Barns or sheds can be built with just regular permitting.
