40600 State Highway 49, Sattley, CA 96124

Nestled on 51.85 lush acres with coveted water rights, this one-of- a-kind legacy property blends natural beauty, craftsmanship, and comfort into a peaceful mountain haven. Aptly named Origin, this magical year-round retreat is located at the very headwaters—the origin—of Northern California’s pristine North Fork of the Yuba River. At the heart of the estate is a spacious three bedroom, two bath main residence, complemented by two charming one-bedroom guest cabins and a one-room sleeping cabin perfect for hosting friends, extended family, and guests. The land is graced by spring-fed creeks that flow into a half-acre pond lovingly named “Delaney’s Trout Fishing Lake” by the previous owners in the 1950s. The primary suite is a serene escape with a sleeping loft, redwood detailing, cedar-lined closets, and built-in drawers built by yacht craftsmen. Additional rooms include a guest room/study with built-in bookshelves and clerestory windows, and a family/guest room with loft for flexible living. Indulge in spa-style comfort with your own private wellness wing featuring a teak hot tub, indoor pool, cedar sauna, massage area, and oversized (steam-ready) shower. The pool room spills out to a sunny deck overlooking the meadow and pond. This is where morning coffee turns into sunrise meditation and sunset dinners become unforgettable memories. Additional features include central vacuum system, wine storage, laundry, two hot water tanks, radiant heat floors, two large generators, and custom window coverings. Located along scenic Highway 49 in the heart of the Lost Sierra—a region known for its undiscovered charm—this property sits just minutes from the Lakes Basin Recreation Area. Enjoy crystal-clear lakes perfect for swimming, boating, and fishing, along with unspoiled hiking and biking trails, all set against the backdrop of the Sierra Buttes. Whether you’re seeking a private retreat, family compound, or a lifestyle rooted in nature, Origin offers an unparalleled blend of seclusion, recreation, and accessibility—just 45 minutes from Truckee, 20 minutes from Sierra City, and 60 minutes from Reno-Tahoe International Airport. Come experience where the river begins—and life slows down.
