Escape to your own private Nevada City retreat, where 38 breathtaking acres meet the Tahoe National Forest and adventure begins right outside your door. Offering over 2,000 square feet, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath home combines space, privacy, natural beauty, and an incredible connection to the outdoors. With the National Forest as your backyard, miles of hiking, horseback riding, mountain biking, and exploring are yours to enjoy. Inside, the home is filled with natural light and warmth. Passive solar design and a beautiful solarium create an inviting space to enjoy the surrounding views. Large windows and sliders bring the outdoors in, while the spacious floor plan offers flexibility for everyday living. An upstairs flex space is ideal for a home office, guest area, media room, art studio, or whatever best fits your lifestyle. Leased solar adds energy efficiency and everyday convenience. Despite its wonderfully private setting, you're close to the Yuba River and only about 20 minutes from historic downtown Nevada City, offering a rare balance of peaceful seclusion and easy access to town. Whether you're searching for a full-time home, private mountain retreat, equestrian property, or recreational getaway, this special property offers something increasingly hard to find: 38 acres of your own, direct access to thousands of acres of public land, and the freedom to truly enjoy the beauty of Nevada County.
