Rustic Sierra Foothills Log Cabin with Updated Kitchen & Baths Priced to Reflect Opportunity This authentic 3-bedroom, 2-bath log cabin on 2+ acres is priced to give the next owner the equity and flexibility to make it their own. While the property needs some work and TLC, the heavy lifting on the most important rooms has already been done. The updated kitchen shines with stainless steel appliances, a gas range, dark granite countertops, mosaic tile backsplash, and knotty alder cabinetry beneath signature log beam ceilings. The primary bath is a genuine wow moment a freestanding soaker tub glowing in natural light through a glass block wall, a slate walk-in shower with rainfall head, wood plank flooring. Throughout the home, soaring vaulted ceilings with exposed log beam rafters, a classic wood-burning stove, mini-split system, and decorative tile floors showcase the bones and character that make this cabin truly special. Upstairs, the primary suite offers treetop privacy and charm. Outside, lush flat acreage, a seasonal pond, garden beds, irrigation canal, a large barn, and shop area offer serious lifestyle and agricultural potential all tucked into the Sierra Foothills just minutes from downtown Grass Valley with easy access. Bring your vision. The value is already here.

Amazing little gem with barn and shop. Great for the first time home buyer and gardening enthusiast! The home is a log cabin partially updated by the seller with new tile floors, new cabinetry in the kitchen and remodeled bathroom. Covered deck to enjoy the outdoors and pastoral views. Two bedrooms on the main floor and master upstairs. The land is level and usable with plenty of sunny gardening areas. The land is fenced and cross fenced and includes an irrigation canal on the property and pond. The large shop has a cement floor, power and water. The attached barn is dry and home to two friendly goats! This is such a sweet little property. Sunny fully fenced garden area! Must see to appreciate! Close to public transportation. Located in the sierra foothills just 60 miles NE of Sacramento and Roseville to the west and within an hour of 4 quality ski slopes to the east!
