About This Home

20865 Rector Road

An outdoor enthusiast's and homesteader's dream! Just 9 minutes above Nevada City, this remarkable 31+ acre property offers year-round Rock Creek, access to world-class mountain biking trails, proximity to the Yuba River, a beautifully crafted 2018 log home, and a 1,200 sq ft garage/workshop. Located off North Bloomfield Road near Burton Homestead and Camp Augusta, the property's corners touch approximately 2,500 acres of BLM land. Enjoy access to the renowned Rock Creek Flume and Round Mountain trails, explore the surrounding forest, or spend the day by the creek. Designed by Homestead Log Homes of Medford, Oregon, the home was built with air-dried pine. An iron-strapped front door opens to a stunning vaulted great room with angled windows soaring to the peak, exposed log posts, and a wagon-wheel chandelier. The kitchen offers granite countertops, a Viking range, and generous cabinetry. A soapstone wood-burning cookstove provides warmth and the ability to cook or boil water. Two bedrooms and a full bath are on the main floor. Upstairs, an open loft overlooks the great room, and the primary suite features vaulted ceilings, a glass-enclosed walk-in shower, and a spacious walk-in closet. A covered front porch, outdoor patio, and durable metal roof complete the home. The land is thoughtfully developed for a self-sufficient lifestyle. A large deer-fenced garden features cedar raised beds, organic soil, and automated irrigation. A second fenced garden includes established pomegranates, raspberries, blackberries, asparagus, and vegetable trellises. Two orchards offer pears, Fuji apples, cherries, peaches, nectarines, and grapes. Mature black and blue oaks, ponderosa pines, and old-growth manzanita are scattered throughout, with selectively cleared areas making much of the land accessible on foot. The property is off-grid capable and keeps running when the power goes out. A fully owned 48-panel solar system with battery backup and a large backup generator keep the power on, while two wells and 10,000 gallons of elevated, gravity-fed water storage with fire hydrant hookups keep the water flowing. Additional improvements include a trailer pad with power and water for guests or a caretaker, plus a detached bathhouse with laundry. A rare opportunity to enjoy the freedom of 31+ acres, exceptional recreation, and an established homestead just minutes from Nevada City.
