Stunning location in Humboldt County, right on the Eel River where the coho salmon run. Just off of the Redwood Highway in Rio Dell, CA, you are surrounded by absolutely gorgeous redwood trees. This is an older home with fabulous hardwood floors in living room, dining room, Master bedroom, possibly other bedrooms. Home is in need of repairs. This one may need a cash offer or a re-hab loan. The home is to be sold As-Is. However, you can't beat the location! On almost 1/2 acre, the property is fenced on 2 sides. There is no fence in the rear because the property goes straight back to the Eel River. in a forest of redwood trees. Also, in the backyard is a pond and a very large, mature, Japanese maple tree. The home is crowded with stuff and needs some TLC but that seems insignificant compared to the neighborhood and the environment surrounding the home. Single car garage features built-in cabinets and a workbench.
