36659 Douglas Ranger Station Rd, North Fork, CA 93643
About this home
Live on 30 private acres, but explore thousands! This property has been the heart of a family deeply rooted in the North Fork mountain community for generations. Getting here is part of the adventure - just 20 minutes down a dirt road, you'll arrive at a hilltop retreat that has built both cherished memories and resilient people. The 2-story, 2,100 sq. ft. home was designed for a life well-lived, offering plenty of space, character, and freedom. While this off-the-grid paradise feels like a true escape, it still provides strong cell service across multiple carriers, making it an excellent option for remote work. Surrounded by the breathtaking Sierra Nevada wilderness, you'll experience unparalleled peace and tranquility. The property features rich soil and deep roots, including a fenced 1-acre orchard with a 100 sq. ft. garden shed at its center. A 2,500-gallon storage tank holds pure spring water, which gravity-feeds both the house and the orchard, nurturing a variety of fruit trees. Head out onto the expansive redwood deck to take in vibrant, painted sunsets, or cast a line into your very own fishing pond, just a few feet away - teeming with bass and bluegill. Hike directly onto the surrounding National Forest, where the South Fork of Willow Creek awaits, complete with hidden swim holes perfect for summer days. This is more than a home - it's a lifestyle of adventure, nature, and serenity. Bedroom and bathroom count different than tax records, buyer to verify if important.
