Escape to your own private Northern California retreat on approximately 265 acres of scenic, usable land featuring natural water sources, multiple residences, and income-producing potential. This unique property offers two homes (one currently rented month-to-month and one vacant), creating immediate flexibility for multi-generational living, rental income, or a live/work lifestyle. Combined rental potential is approximately $2,798/month, with additional hydroelectric and utility-related income historically averaging approximately $8,500 to $9,000 annually. A defining feature of the property is its abundant, year-round water. Multiple artesian springs supply the land, and the existing homes benefit from gravity-fed water systems. The property also includes documented pre-1914 water rights and riparian access along Hatchet Creek, an increasingly rare and valuable feature in California. The land itself offers a blend of privacy, open space, and natural beauty, along with a historic barn dating back to approximately 1895. Whether you envision a peaceful homestead, working ranch, vineyard, or a wellness or retreat-style property, the possibilities here are expansive. Zoned "U" (Unclassified), the property allows for a wide range of potential uses, offering long-term flexibility and future upside. This is more than a home, it's an opportunity to create a lifestyle rooted in land, water, and self-sufficiency, while benefiting from existing income and future potential. Seller owns the property free and clear and is open to negotiating flexible seller financing terms. Buyer to verify all information including zoning, income, water rights, and potential uses.
