Check out this unique property! Two 1890's redwood wine tanks from Napa were dismantled to create a tiny home with a 3 story tower. Each floor of the circular tower is 200sqft. The larger first floor main room is knotty pine. 50 year roof installed in 2006 along with the skylight in the Tower and the bathroom. Roughly 3/4 of the 5 acre parcel is cleared of all brush, is gently sloped with beautiful oak trees and has numerous building spots (5 pads already in place). The 8 gpm well has a new pump with water lines and 5 faucets. The other 1/4 of the property goes down to and over a creek with waterfalls (nearly year round) and Grotto. Friends and family call it 'The Tower' and 'The Grotto' property. Live in the tiny home while you build your dream home. Since fees were paid to build this home in 1980 check with the county to see what can be applied towards a new home. The installed septic is sized for 3 bedrooms. Only 1.6 miles south from Poor Reds in the town of El Dorado.
