This serene Manton retreat, set on 15 secluded acres, features two separate homes, Large Shop and a picturesque pond stocked with Rainbow trout right at its heart. Nestled amidst towering Ponderosa and Cedar Pines, some reaching over 100 feet tall, the property offers a peaceful escape from the summer heat, thanks to its high-elevation location. Even on Redding's hottest days, natural shade and cool mountain breezes make air conditioning unnecessary. The 5-6 fenced acres are secured by an electric gate, ensuring total privacy with no visible or audible neighbors. The updated guest house, perched above the main home, showcases fresh paint, new flooring, and a private deck overlooking the pond—an ideal spot for watching wildlife. High-speed Starlink internet, mounted over 100 feet above the ground, provides reliable connectivity for remote work. Inside the main home, new energy-efficient Anderson windows frame breathtaking views of the pond and forest, while fresh flooring and updated kitchen cabinets, along with new appliances, enhance the interior. A charming sunroom with stone floors and panoramic windows creates a perfect space for relaxation or gatherings. For hobbyists, a spacious shop with an attached workroom offers plenty of room for projects or storage. Water rights from Digger Creek, providing 4 inches of miners' water, ensure a continuous and unlimited supply for both the home and pond, fed by a historic gravity-fed system dating back to the 1800s.
