About this home
Escape to this private sanctuary overlooking the Yuba River and the little town of Downieville. Spectacular views of the mountains, river and the town from almost every room. This is end-of-road privacy. Stunning 2-story home has lots of natural light along with 3 private balconies and 2 private decks to take in the amazing views. Relax in the main floor bathroom with Oceania hot air jetted tub, upscale fixtures and big window. Mahogany, oak, cherry, and slate flooring throughout. Carpet in the bedrooms. Lovely Great Room with 2-story ceiling and big windows. Cool bonus room with private entrance on the basement floor has a full bathroom. Located at the end of the road backed by Tahoe National Forest, yet, just a few minutes' walk to town. Hike through the forest out your back door. There is a walk-in basement with storage and a high-efficiency central heating unit. A separate storage unit is located off the driveway. The house is perched high enough to watch the sun rise in the morning and see clouds move gracefully into the valley of the North Fork of the Yuba River. Listen to the sounds of hawks in flight and the wind through the trees. This is your retreat in the woods.
