About this home

In a tranquil setting, an Old-Fashioned Ranch house with an antique barn- welcomes you! This property has been in the same family since 1943, it's rumored that it may have been a part of the Pardini Ranch (corner of Bitney and Empress). Are these heritage trees from the old orchard? This grand old lady- reminds me of the Golden Girls where 3 family units (with her multi-zoned floor plan) could live here. It has served well, the many seasons life brings to one. Raise a family, start a family compound (more available property surrounds it), make a country-style B & B or simply live in one of the most peaceful settings in Nevada County- this property could provide a retreat from all the hectivity that surrounds you- it is the epitome of why people come here (to get away from it all! The nearly 50X50 antique pole barn was said to have been 'old' in 1943 when it was refurbished, is still in great shape (with minor fixing) and holds as many memories as possibilities. Come, make your own!
