Tucked into the redwoods of Moonlight Meadows, this A-frame sits at the end of the road on approximately 56± acres across three parcels, with direct frontage along the Mattole River.
The setting is quiet and established, with a natural clearing around the home and trails that lead down through the trees toward the water. The river can be heard from parts of the property, adding to the overall sense of place.
Inside, the home offers a functional layout with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, warm wood finishes, and large windows that bring in natural light throughout the day. An open living area connects to the deck, creating an easy transition between indoor and outdoor space.
Recent updates include new flooring, exterior paint, roof, insulation, and ongoing improvements.
The land off mix of open space and forest. Two year-round springs run side by side. A detached garage and chicken coop add additional utility.
Located in the Whitethorn Valley, surrounded by redwoods and set along the Mattole River, this is a solid Southern Humboldt property with space, privacy, and a strong connection to the land.
