Hideyhole for Sale!
Here's information about my property for sale. In brief:
- $189,500 cash
- 22 acres
- off-grid, off-road
- two year-round creeks
- spacious one-bedroom house, as-is
- small storage shack
This is on Iron Peak, 180 miles north of San Francisco near Highway 101. About a mile below the peak, this parcel sits in a lush, wooded canyon reached by about eight miles of dirt road. It's sunny in summer and fall, snowy in winter, and absolutely spectacular in spring. You need four-wheel drive to reach this property.
The image on the left shows the approximate location of Iron Peak. The image on the right is a map of the parcel, showing boundaries, topography, vegetation, and (in red) the locations of the two structures.
The house is 20' x 60', situated within sight of both of the gorgeous creeks. The south-facing deck enjoys views of Douglas fir, pine, oak, and madrone trees. The house itself is spacious, comfortable, and semi-furnished. It includes a flush toilet, a woodstove, telephone, and a primitive kitchen. There is also a storage shack near the house.
The best part about this property is not the house. It's the water. Oh, so much water! This is cold, clean, delicious, mountain water—enough for all your needs, including microhydroelectric. Besides being practical, the creeks are simply lovely! Below are some gratuitous pictures of some of my favorite spots along the creeks, but really you have to be there; you'll fall in love.
