**OPEN HOUSE Friday July 3rd 2:00-4:00!** 186 Shale Lane is a truly special retreat set on nearly 5 private acres with sweeping panoramic views of Humboldt Bay, the North and South Jetties, and the lights of Eureka. Expansive decks from both the main home and detached apartment offer the perfect place to relax and take in the ever-changing scenery where the bay meets the Pacific. Located in one of Humboldt County's most sought-after school districts, the 3,095 sq ft main home features 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, vaulted ceilings, a spacious family room, loft-style flex space, two laundry areas, and a second downstairs primary suite. A converted 300+ sq ft bonus gym adds even more versatility. Above the detached 2-car garage sits a beautifully designed 676 sq ft apartment with abundant natural light, strong rental history and and a layout that lives larger than its footprint. Additional highlights include a whole-home Generac generator with automatic transfer switch, hot tub, orchard-lined driveway, and a peaceful setting that blends privacy, functionality, and unforgettable views. If you're in the market, you won't want to miss this one!
