Tucked into the Sierra foothills just minutes above Lake Oroville, this private 30-acre retreat pairs a cozy home with serious shop space and room to roam. The single-level, 2004-built residence offers 1 bedroom and 1 bath, plus a retreat/recreation room that flexes easily as a den, home office, or second bedroom. Attached to the home is the real showstopper: a 1,400+ sq. ft., 3-bay garage/shop with its own central heat and air plenty of room for vehicles, a boat, an RV, or a full workshop, with space left over for hobbies or storage. Beyond the house, the 30 secluded acres are already set up to enjoy: a private shooting range, horseshoe pit, picnic area, kids' playground, well house, and multiple outbuildings sit among mature trees, rock outcroppings, and open meadow bordering national forest land. Deer, turkey, and quail are frequent visitors, and Lake Oroville's boating, fishing, kayaking, and swimming are just down the road, along with miles of hiking and trails. Well water, septic, central heat/air, and 220V power are already established, and gated, gravel-road access keeps the property private without sacrificing convenience. Whether you're after a weekend basecamp, a full-time foothill retreat, or a blank canvas with a workshop already built in, 179 Elams Ranch Rd delivers space, privacy, and recreation just minutes from the lake.
