    A Secluded 243-Acre Mountain Sanctuary in Northern California Set atop its own mountain peak at approximately 1,050 feet, in the heart of a secluded Northern California valley, this rare 243-acre estate offers exceptional privacy, scale, and self-sufficiency. Surrounded by mountain ridgelines rising from roughly 1,650 to 2,400 feet, the property enjoys sweeping views, deep quiet, and a commanding sense of separation from the outside world. The land is fully independent for water and energy, supported by a year-round well and spring system with approximately 16,500 gallons of storage, along with a robust 12kW solar array and backup generators. Extensive internal roads, trails, and cleared areas provide access throughout the property while preserving its natural character. At the center of the estate is a two-story, approximately 4,000 square foot main residence offering four bedrooms and four bathrooms, along with a dedicated office, library, and family room. Hardwood floors, radiant subfloor heating, a jetted soaking tub in the primary suite, and a private balcony with expansive valley views create a comfortable balance of craftsmanship and livability within a mountain setting. Additional infrastructure includes multiple guest and sleeping cabins, a separate two-story cabin with kitchen and baths, indoor gathering and event space, wellness facilities including a sauna house, established garden and greenhouse areas, and ample open land suitable for a wide range of uses. These elements support private ownership, hosting, or retreat-style use without requiring further major development. The property was previously developed as a private retreat center founded by Dr. Jwing-Ming Yang, with the siting and layout of key structures reflecting intentional land use and long-term stewardship. Today, the estate offers exceptional flexibility for future ownership, whether envisioned as a private mountain residence, legacy holding, or purpose-driven retreat property. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a large, contiguous California landholding with water security, energy independence, residential comfort, and a meaningful history, all set within a dramatic and private natural landscape.
    What the owner loves about this home
    This land offers a sense of peace and privacy that is almost impossible to find. Tucked into the mountains and surrounded by forested ridgelines, the property feels like its own hidden world, yet it’s only a short 10 minute drive from Highway 101. I love waking up to the sounds of birds and the sight of morning light filtering through the trees, and ending the day under a sky filled with stars. The property provides complete independence with its own pure water sources and solar power, along with organic gardens and fruit trees that make it feel truly self-sustaining. There’s room here to create, to gather, or simply to breathe. Whether it’s enjoying the sauna after a long hike, sharing meals with friends in the community lounge, or watching the sunset from the cabin porch, this place has a way of slowing life down and reminding you of what matters.
