Nestled in the historic community of Sheep Ranch, this unique 45.09-acre property spans three contiguous parcels and offers three residential structures, a 2,400-square-foot shop, and incredible potential for those ready to bring their vision to life. This secluded compound offers a rare opportunity to create your own private retreat in the Sierra foothills. 15736 Armstrong offers 14.42 acres and includes a one-bedroom log cabin with a loft and an exterior-access, functional bathroom. The second dwelling offers a two-bedroom, one-bath home featuring a recently painted interior, newer walk-in shower, and luxury vinyl plank flooring (in need of some repair). The permitted 40' x 60' metal-beam garage/shop is also situated on this parcel. The second 14.42-acre parcel (15694 Armstrong) features a one-bedroom, one-bath non-permitted home with a detached workshop (originally permitted as a single-car garage). The third adjacent parcel (15656 Armstrong) offers 16.25 acres and has a usable area for a potential homesite. The properties need TLC but provide the ideal setting for those envisioning a homestead, ranch, vineyard, wellness retreat, artist sanctuary, or private escape from city life. Currently powered by dated solar panels, batteries, and an inverter, along with propane generators (including one newer generator and inverter to be included with the sale). Two of the parcels are served by separate private well systems with gravity-fed water storage in military-grade tanks. Designed for self-sufficient living, the property offers an incredible foundation for those looking to modernize and make it their own. Appealing to buyers who value privacy and independence, the property is surrounded by open skies, majestic trees, natural beauty, and abundant wildlife. It offers the peace, freedom, and slower pace increasingly sought by those looking to reconnect with nature and live more intentionally. Enjoy the best of both worlds with the privacy of country living and the convenience of nearby Murphys, a town known for its vibrant Main Street, wine tasting, unique shops, dining, and year-round festivities. More than just acreage, this is a legacy property ready for its next chapter. Come see for yourself and Love where you Live.
