Turnkey Retreat Compound | 243-Acre Off-Grid Mountain Estate | 10 Min to Hwy 101 243 contiguous acres on a Humboldt County mountaintop, held in two parcels, with a working compound already in place. Mornings arrive quiet here, with fog in the valley below and the ridgelines coming up out of it. Twelve structures, roughly 6,400 square feet under roof, purpose built for gathering. Fully off grid, entirely self sufficient, and still only ten minutes from Highway 101. 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. The 4,000 sq. ft. main home features four bedrooms, four full baths, hardwood floors throughout, radiant subfloor heating, a dedicated office, library, family room, and an attached two car garage. 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 two story caretaker cottage with its own kitchen and bath, a 1,420 square foot indoor community lounge and event space, a sauna house with a twelve person cedar lined sauna, a tea house set on the meadow's edge with a full valley view, a dedicated power house, six sleeping cabins, and established organic gardens and greenhouse areas with mature fruit trees. The land is as much of the offering as the buildings. Close to half a mile of Salmon Creek frontage, with a private beach and swimming hole where the creek runs along the property line, and a ten acre river frontage area with a level building flat. A 1.6 mile private trail through redwood grove and timber, a seasonal creek, and a seasonal waterfall. Internal roads and trails connect the entire compound. The estate runs independently on a 12kW solar array with a backup Kohler propane generator, 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. Both parcels are zoned Timber Production Zone, so under California law the land is assessed on its timber growing productivity rather than its market value, which keeps the annual carrying cost across 243 acres well below what a holding of this size would ordinarily cost to own. Additionally, the property has no cultivation history, so a buyer inherits clean ground with no legacy remediation. 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.
