243-Acre Off-Grid Mountain Estate | Turnkey Retreat Compound | 10 Min to Hwy 101 Wake up to birdsong and valley views from your own 243-acre mountaintop in California's Humboldt County — fully off-grid, fully self-sufficient, and just 10 minutes from Highway 101. This turnkey estate combines a 4,000 sq ft custom-built main residence with multiple cabins, gathering spaces, wellness facilities, gardens, and complete energy and water independence — all on one of the largest private, contiguous landholdings available in Northern California. The main home features four bedrooms, four full baths, hardwood floors throughout, radiant subfloor heating, a dedicated office, library, and family room. The primary suite includes a jetted soaking tub and a private balcony overlooking the valley. Built in 2008, the home was designed for year-round mountain living with no compromise on comfort. Beyond the main residence: a separate two-story cabin with its own kitchen and baths, multiple guest and sleeping cabins, an indoor community lounge and event space, a sauna house, and established organic gardens and greenhouse areas with fruit trees. Internal roads and trails connect the entire property. The estate runs independently on a 12kW solar array with backup generators, and draws from a year-round well and spring system with 16,500 gallons of on-site water storage. No utility bills. No dependency on the grid. Originally developed as the YMAA Retreat Center by Dr. Jwing-Ming Yang — an internationally recognized Qigong and martial arts master who founded 45 schools across 18 countries and authored over 60 books — every structure was sited with intention. The property was featured by ESPN and drew students and visitors from around the world for more than a decade. That legacy of stewardship is embedded in the land. Ready for its next chapter as a private mountain compound, wellness or yoga retreat, family legacy property, or creative live-work estate. All major infrastructure is in place — move in and make it yours. Schedule a private tour or request the full property information packet.
