Just under 1.5 miles from downtown Nevada City, this rare 25-acre property offers a unique blend of privacy, history, and convenience. Set on beautiful, usable land, the custom-built single-level home is thoughtfully designed with two spacious bedrooms, each featuring its own en suite bathroom, creating comfort and ease for everyday living. The main living area is open and inviting, centered around a well-appointed kitchen with granite countertops, a large island with sink, and plenty of space to gather. Natural light fills the home, connecting the indoors to the surrounding landscape. Above the oversized garage, a separate approximately 695 sqft loft area with a half bath (plumbed for a full) offers flexibility for guests, a studio, or extended living. The property itself is truly something special. Rich in California history, it features an old mine with included mineral rights, as well as Native American grinding stones that reflect the land's deep roots. Approximately 2 acres surrounding the home, back patio, and garden area are enclosed with 7-foot deer fencing, offering a protected and usable outdoor space, while the remaining acreage provides room to explore and enjoy the natural setting. A large concrete patio creates an ideal space for entertaining. Opportunities like this are rare; substantial acreage, meaningful history, and a peaceful setting, all just minutes from the heart of Nevada City.
