Beautiful custom home on 24 acres perched above Sheriff's Cove on Ruth Lake. This 3 bedroom 2.5 bath home would make a great lake retreat or live year round in a serene, rural setting. Two levels with open concept makes you feel right at home. On the main floor is the master bedroom/master bath, custom kitchen/dining which is open to the living room with two separate areas for entertaining. French doors lead out to the wrap-around deck, which provides expansive views of the surrounding mountains as well as a peek-a-boo view of the lake. The second story has two bedrooms, full bath and a loft area which overlooks the main floor. Great views from here as well. Bunk beds provide extra sleeping space for large groups. This home was made for entertaining and relaxing! The detached garage is on its way to becoming a potential second unit. Both buildings are well built and have metal roofs. The garage has hardy plank siding. The land is sloped and open with many oaks and firs. This is a beautiful location!

This beautiful 24 acre property is a must see! There is a custom 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath cabin with vaulted ceilings, along with a loft that has a 3 bed bunkbed built for all the extra guests along with a sleeping cabin on the property. This property is very private and it backs up to the Six Rivers National Forest. There are rolling hills with oak trees and wildlife, along with views of the Ruth Lake from many areas on the property. There are quad trails, a creek that runs 9 months out of the year and a spring that produces more water than you will ever need. There is a 1500 sq foot private deck off the living room that is great for bbq's in the sun or for viewing all the stars at night. Just down from the main house, there is also potential for a second unit on the property! MORE. .. A 1,152 sq foot garage with large doors to fit a patio boat and an unfinished 1,296 sq foot second story that is designed for a second unit with power in place. Too many features to mention. This is not a drive-by property. Do not disturb occupants. Call us for more details.
