Set in a peaceful, ranch-style setting just minutes from downtown Penn Valley, this property invites you into a slower pace of life where space, nature, and comfort come together. Mornings can start with coffee on the porch as the sun rises over the rolling hills, and evenings wind down under wide open skies. With Highway 20 nearby, day trips to Sacramento, Truckee, or the Yuba-Sutter area are within easy reach, along with the Yuba River and Bridgeport for year-round fun and recreation. Spanning approximately 10 acres, the land offers room to roam, ride, and create. Set up for horses, the property includes a tack room, hay shed, loafing shed, enclosed corral, and is fenced and cross-fenced with open pasture for grazing. Whether you're tending animals, planting a garden, or simply enjoying the quiet, there's a natural rhythm to life here. Inside, the home feels warm and welcoming with a bright, open great room that captures views out over the hills. A cozy pellet stove creates the perfect gathering space on cooler evenings, while the kitchen flows into a breakfast area with a built-in bench seat, an easy spot to start the day. Two comfortable bedrooms and hardwood floors add to the home's charm and simplicity. The setting feels private and grounded, with a true country feel that's hard to find. This is one of those properties that you don't just see, you experience.
