Affording one of the most magnificent panoramic views over the South Yuba River and into the Sierras, this solar-supplied Tahoe-inspired renovated contemporary home rests in an idyllic setting on 5.89 acres of usable property. The home is 15 minutes from Nevada City and Grass Valley; and, just over an hour to Lake Tahoe and the area's famous ski resorts. Available for purchase on only two occasions in 43 years, this delightfully inviting home offers 3,150 square feet of living area and approximately 1,200 square feet of covered wraparound deck space for outdoor relaxation and entertaining overlooking a pool. Set on two levels, the main floor features the master bedroom plus 2 bedrooms with full baths, an office or multi-use room; an open plan Great Room with 14-foot high vaulted ceilings and a massive stone fireplace from Yuba River mining rock; a large kitchen; laundry room with W/D and ample cabinets. The second level is used as an artist studio but can be used instead as separate quarters with bath and separate entrance. The property is populated with 200-year old oaks; mature gardens with raised beds that invite extensive organic vegetable cultivation supported by the property's extraordinary artesian well water. The owners have lovingly created a bird sanctuary that now attracts a wide array of species including among others, Asian doves, hummingbirds, and Sierra quail. This is your unique opportunity to be part of this generous setting close to the Nevada City-Truckee-Tahoe region.
