Perched atop the San Juan Ridge on 20 park-like acres, this beautifully proportioned 3BD/2.5BA home offers the privacy and serenity of true Gold Country living. Built in 1990 and spanning nearly 2,500 sq ft, the home welcomes you through a solar-operated gate via a paved driveway canopied by cooling hilltop breezes and extraordinary territorial vistas. The heart of the home is a stunning wood stove hearth designed and hand-crafted by master stonemason Dan Reinhart a true artisan centerpiece. If working from home is part of your lifestyle the homes layout is perfect with office and utility room perfect for an artist on one wing and the bedrooms on the other wing! Long range views with epic sunsets and views of the mist dancing in the trees as it flows in and around the river canyon. Outdoors, soak under the stars in a Snorkel wood-fired hot tub, gather around the fire pit on crisp Sierra evenings, and enjoy abundant wildlife viewing year-round. Infrastructure impresses at every turn: state-of-the-art water softening and treatment system delivering delicious water, a 3,000-gallon underground storage tank, hardwired CCTV, and soon-to-be-completed underground power utility. Minutes to the wild and scenic South Yuba River, Bullards Bar Reservoir, and the beloved swimming holes of Bridgeport State Park. Just 20 minutes to charming Nevada City. This is the one you've been waiting for.
