    What's special

    Riverfront propertyPrivate swimming hole
    A true turnkey retreat, this 2-bedroom, 1-bath A-frame home anchors the property with warmth, character, and the unmistakable charm of a classic redwood escape. Thoughtfully updated and move-in ready, it offers the perfect balance of rustic ambiance and modern comfort--an ideal contrast to fast-paced city living. Beyond the main residence, a detached one-bedroom studio with full bath provides a private haven for guests, extended stays, or potential rental income. An adjacent workshop and additional flexible-use structure open the door to endless possibilities--whether you envision a home gym, creative studio, game room, or a quiet work-from-nature office. Set on approximately 4.92 acres, the land itself is a rare offering. Flat, usable, and beautifully maintained, this riverfront property combines accessibility with true privacy--an increasingly hard-to-find combination. From the moment you arrive, there's a palpable sense of calm; a place designed to help you slow down, reset, and reconnect. The pride of ownership is evident throughout, with thoughtful improvements and meticulous care ensuring reliability and ease--qualities discerning buyers know are invaluable in rural properties. For those drawn to outdoor living, the property is equally compelling. Established garden beds invite farm-to-table living, while ample space allows for expansion or customization. Infrastructure is already in place, including multiple water spigots, two wells, 5,000 gallons of water storage, plus an additional 2,000 gallons dedicated to fire suppression--offering both convenience and peace of mind. McCoy Creek winds gracefully through the property, creating a serene and picturesque setting complete with a private swimming hole, as it flows toward the South Fork of the Eel River. Here, weekends can be spent swimming, kayaking, paddleboarding, or simply unwinding along the water's edge beneath the redwoods. Whether you're seeking a refined weekend escape from the city, a luxury nature retreat, or a long-term investment in lifestyle and land, this redwood sanctuary delivers a rare combination of beauty, usability, and readiness--making it easy to imagine it as your own private escape.
