Property Description

QUALITY CRAFTSMAN HOME, GARDENS, ORCHARD, and PREMIUM SMART HOME FEATURES This custom Craftsman home sits on 5.72 quiet, private acres built with exceptional materials and designed for comfortable, practical living. Approximately 2,400 sq. ft., 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and a versatile main-level den that could easily work as a fourth bedroom, home office, or library. With a private well, septic, owned solar, and 24kW battery, the property can run largely on its own. This is a near net-zero, high efficiency home. Imagine a home designed around its setting. Windows and skylights bring in the daylight from every direction with views of trees, expansive gardens, and open sky from every room. The first floor is trimmed in straight-grain Douglas fir, with floors of locally sourced madrone hardwood. A gorgeous, recently remodeled, kitchen has quartz countertops and LVP flooring. Step outside and enjoy the Ipe hardwood deck known for being weather-resistant and built to last decades. Above the attached two-car garage is a newly built unfinished bonus room with a wall of windows and skylights and endless possibilities for a home office, art studio, fitness room, or guest space. The smart home systems are built for ecological responsibility, reliability, and low running costs. Twenty-four owned solar panels are enrolled in the grandfathered NEM 2.0 program, under which PG&E credits the owner for excess power sent back to the grid. The whole-home battery takes over automatically during outages and also has a bi-directional EV charger to expand battery capacity. There are two EV charging stations, smart controls for lighting and security, three Wi-Fi networks, and a camera system. The ventless high-efficiency washer/dryer is equipped with an ozone laundry system. Nearly three acres are deer fenced, and the remainder are forested. The grounds around the house are planted with collector's trees such as ginkgo, Japanese maples, monkey puzzle (Araucaria araucana), and grafted spruces. There's a young mixed fruit orchard, raised beds, and a 26 foot greenhouse with thriving produce. An electric entry gate and a riding mower make the place manageable rather than demanding. It's private, but not remote being 15-20 minutes to Eureka for shopping, dining, and daily errands, and only minutes from Hookton Slough Wildlife Refuge with its walking trails and exceptional birding. A quality home for people who want to live comfortably, efficiently, grow some of their own food, and be surrounded by the beauty of nature. Schedule your private showing and experience everything this exceptional property has to offer.
