About this home

Hidden behind a lockable gate sits a forested mountain property most people will never even know exists. Privacy? You've got it. Usability? Already started for you. This isn't raw, unusable land--you're stepping into a property that already has two wells--one approximately 50 feet deep and the other around 130 feet, per seller--providing a strong start for your off-grid or rural setup. In addition, a permitted 1,100-gallon septic system is already in place, approved for a 3-bedroom home. With elevations ranging from roughly 2,400 to 2,600 feet, you'll enjoy noticeably cooler temperatures than the valley below, along with the chance for light snowfall in the winter--just enough to give you that true mountain feel without the extremes. And here's the kicker... You're still only about 55 minutes from Redding, CA and around 30 minutes to Burney, CA. So you get true seclusion without being cut off. Not far away is famous Burney Falls with its 129 foot waterfall and hiking trails. Whether you're looking to build, go off-grid, or lock in a private getaway with key improvements already in place, this is the kind of property people wish they bought years ago.

What Clients Say

Real reviews from Shasta County families

5.0★★★★★ 52 five-star reviews

★★★★★

We relocated from out of the area and needed a real estate agent. Nathan ended up being the best fit for the job. Not only was he able to land us our dream home, he worked with our mortgage company to fit our very tight budget.

He tirelessly showed us houses until we found our home, and advised our offer as we competed with other interested buyers. We had a million questions and he was always accessible to answer them.

Nathan took the time and set up opportunities to view quite a few homes before I found the house I wanted. Nate was great with negotiating a solid deal in a competitive market. I was grateful to have him in my corner.
