At the end of a quiet country road, where the pavement gives way to towering redwoods and the sounds of nature take over, you'll find a rare opportunity to create something truly special. Tucked away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in the redwoods, sits a rare opportunity to build your dream in one of the area's most inspiring settings. Once home to a beautiful custom residence lost in the CZU Fire, the property is ready for its next chapter with valuable entitlements to help bring your vision to life. Offering a wonderful balance of sun and forest, the land feels like a private fairy tale. Wander through your own woodland sanctuary, create trails, build play spaces, or simply enjoy what feels like an unlimited backyard. The former home site offers flat, usable space, on nearly 5 acres, an increasingly rare find in the mountains. Located in a welcoming neighborhood where many neighbors are rebuilding and investing in the future, here's your chance to be part of a resilient mountain community. Peaceful and private, yet conveniently located for commuting to Silicon Valley or the coast, this property offers the best of both worlds. If you've been dreaming of a magical redwood retreat with room to roam, imagine, and create, this place is ready to inspire your next adventure.
