Elbow Room or Room to Roam in Arcata -- 11+ Acres Just Minutes from Cal Poly Humboldt. Tucked into the pastoral countryside of Arcata, this 11.25-acre property offers something increasingly rare on California's North Coast: real space, at a real price, in a town people genuinely love calling home. The 1930-built farmhouse blends old-growth character with everyday comfort, 3 bedrooms and 2 baths with approximately 2,182 square feet, with the kind of solid bones, new roof and unhurried charm; generous use of wood throughout in flooring and built-ins make up a warm home that newer construction just can't replicate. Other features include a MIL unit, Redwood barn with a newer roof, covered vehicle storage, +++
