Welcome to this spacious and beautifully crafted 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom home -- a true country-living retreat designed for comfort, functionality, and unforgettable gatherings. With two large bedrooms and a two full bathrooms conveniently located on the main floor, and two bedrooms and bathroom upstairs; the layout offers flexibility for guests, multigenerational living, or simply room to spread out. Inside, the home feels instantly warm and welcoming. A cozy wood stove anchors the living space, while central heating and cooling keep the home comfortable year-round. All four bedrooms are impressively oversized, and each bathroom offers generous space with granite slab counters that bring a touch of timeless quality. The heart of the home is the oversized, chef-inspired kitchen. Custom hickory cabinets with dovetail construction and pull-out shelving provide exceptional storage and craftsmanship. A 6-burner gourmet gas cook stove, built-in microwave, and expansive granite counters make this kitchen perfect for both everyday cooking and entertaining. A very large mudroom and a spacious laundry room with direct backyard access add to the home's practical, country-friendly design. Step outside and discover the lifestyle this property offers. The yard is partially cross-fenced with a separate pasture ideal for horses or livestock, complete with animal sheds and a storage outbuilding. The immense backyard features lush green grass, mature shade trees, and kid-friendly play structures -- a space designed for both relaxation and play. Some mature deciduous trees provide shade while the home has a well-maintained defensible space, maximizing safety, usability, and natural beauty. Located close to BLM land and the famous Fall River, you'll enjoy world-class fishing, pristine lakes and streams, snow skiing at Mt. Shasta, water sports, and endless outdoor recreation. Despite the peaceful, wooded setting, you're only 10 minutes from town conveniences including shopping, banks, hardware stores, the hospital, and veterinary services. This is truly a lifestyle property -- quiet, wooded, spacious, and full of possibility. Bring your toys, build the structures you've dreamed of, and enjoy country living at its finest.

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.
