    A rare opportunity to own a beautifully crafted custom permitted home on approximately 60 private acres, where modern comfort, exceptional infrastructure, and the natural beauty of Southern Humboldt come together just minutes from Garberville. Built in 2017, this thoughtfully designed 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home features an open-concept floor plan with mahogany cabinetry, quartz countertops, wood flooring, radiant floor heating, abundant natural light, and seamless indoor-outdoor living. Designed for comfort and self-sufficiency, the property features two natural springs, a permitted well, deeded shared water rights, approximately 68,000 gallons of water storage, dual solar systems, battery storage, generator backup, a finished detached two-car garage, and four substantial outbuildings. Garden areas, greenhouse infrastructure, RV parking, and multiple usable flats provide outstanding flexibility for agricultural pursuits, homesteading, recreation, or simply enjoying the privacy and space. The property previously benefited from a state cultivation license in good standing for approximately 13,500± sq. ft. of mixed-light cultivation and 4,000± sq. ft. of outdoor cultivation, with extensive existing agricultural infrastructure representing a significant investment. Set among rolling hills, wooded landscapes, and panoramic mountain views near the headwaters of Dean Creek, this remarkable property offers the rare combination of abundant water, extensive infrastructure, and peaceful country living--all just 1.9 miles from Alderpoint Road and minutes to Garberville. Owner financing may be available for qualified buyers.
