    Perched atop 160 private acres in the rugged beauty of Douglas City in Trinity County, this one-of-a-kind off-grid estate is the ultimate prepper's paradise--where self-sufficiency meets refined comfort. Completely set apart from the world, the property offers unmatched end of the road privacy, sweeping natural vistas, and the infrastructure to sustain a fully independent lifestyle. At the heart of the property sits a thoughtfully designed 2-bedroom, 3-bath home featuring a seamless open-air concept that invites the outdoors in. Multiple skylights flood the space with natural light, enhancing the sense of openness and connection to the surrounding landscape. Radiant heated concrete floors provide year-round comfort, while high-end finishes--including Toto toilets, an outdoor shower, and a fully equipped kitchen with quartz and butcher block countertops, a BlueStar stove and oven, center island, and built-in dining bench--deliver a level of luxury rarely found in off-grid living. Constructed with fire-resistant wood paneling and concrete for enhanced safety and durability, the home is built to withstand the elements while offering peace of mind. A striking two-sided fireplace efficiently heats the entire home, complemented by a fire sprinkler system for added protection. The lower-level game room offers flexible space for recreation, fitness, or relaxation. Security cameras are installed throughout the property, providing an additional layer of security. Energy independence is fully realized with a robust 13.5 kW solar power system. Water resources are abundant, with two creeks and two 5,000-gallon storage tanks, plus an additional 10,000 gallons dedicated to fire protection--creating a truly defensible property. The insulated, temperature-controlled three-car garage is also constructed with fire-resistant wood paneling and concrete, and includes an EV charging station. Additional structures include a 2-bedroom, 1-bath mobile home--ideal for caretakers, extended family, or rental income--as well as multiple storage buildings and sheds for tools and equipment. This extraordinary property offers a rare opportunity to live sustainably without sacrificing comfort, all while surrounded by the breathtaking scenery of Trinity County.
