Uniquely located on an exclusive bluff looking down upon the very private Rising River and Hat Creek. This custom-designed off grid, log home on 20+ acres overlooks the valley below offering stunning views of the Rising River, Hat Creek, Rising River Lake and the valley below. Originally designed by William Turnbull Jr. , an American Bay Area architect whose unique building designs challenged the more traditional architecture of California's west coast. The original build was started in 1987 and was purchased and finished by the current owners in 2015. A visit is necessary to fully appreciate the special opportunity this property offers. Upon entering, one cannot help but be impressed by the understated elegance and craftsmanship. A close look reveals vaulted tongue and groove ceilings and a magnificent 'walk-in' sized fireplace with custom crafted steel doors that glide open and closed providing an unbelievable cozy and inviting ambiance. At almost 2600sf the home manages to be simple, intimate and elegant all at once with private nooks and alcoves. One will love the gourmet kitchen with Wolf Range, Ceasar stone counters, soft-close cabinetry, and farmhouse sink. So many special nuances you really need to look closely to grasp it all. High end modern LED lighting throughout the home that can be computer-controlled to establish preset personal preference lighting levels. A few features include Redwood encased windows and doors, interior copper sprinklers, extra thick slab granite counter tops in the primary bath and a glass walled shower. The clerestory windows enhance natural lighting and the radiant floor heating runs throughout the homes' slab flooring, providing ultimate underfoot comfort. Wall-to-wall windows and doors to the south fully encompass the incredible views that very few will ever get to enjoy. This property is ideal for privacy seekers, nature lovers or those searching for a serene retreat. The panoramic view from the rear deck overlooks the rivers, and valley below making the bald eagles and osprey your companions. There is an additional barn structure that could easily be renovated into additional guest housing, if desired. Currently providing several stalls and turnouts. This property is fully fenced, with off-grid solar power system with a backup generator. To enter the property one must travel through BLM ground and is surrounded by large acreage parcels.

R-L
Limited Residential District
The purpose of the limited residential R-L district is to provide low-density rural residential living environments generally in areas remote from a community or where few services are available. Often the land may have development constraints such as poor sewage disposal capabilities, uncertain water quantity or quality, and topographic limitations. This district is consistent with the rural residential B RB general plan land use designation and, if combined with a NRA-S or NRA-WI or NRA-WII district, the natural resource protection-recreation N-R general plan land use designation.
