Step back in time when you enter this vintage sanctuary that rests among the trees and year-round creek. Warm woodwork invites you to linger in the living room reading a book while listening to the crackling of the warm fire. Plenty of room in the kitchen/dining room combo for preparing and canning your fruits and vegetables from the garden and orchard. The abundance of reclaimed windows add charm and plenty of light to all of the rooms. The spacious bedroom is on the upper level and gives the feeling of being in a tree house as you take in the 360 degree views. The art nook in the sitting area of the second story has individual views of the pond, woodland and landscaping. Have company coming? There are guest quarters that sleep 4 and are as charming as the main house. Relax on the deck while stargazing at night. The pond is deep enough for a refreshing dip to cool off in the summertime. Working remotely? There is internet and cell service at this off-grid location! When it's time to take a break from your work explore the creek, woods and develop additional areas for animals, camping sites, or? It's time for your fairytale in the Northern California Mountains!
