Where the only soundtrack is a year-round creek and the stars truly shine. Set on 12.50 private acres just minutes from Downieville, this rare off-grid retreat offers mountain and canyon views with no visible neighbors just forest, sky, and complete tranquility. Designed for sustainable living without sacrificing connection, the property features a robust solar system (4x325W panels), sixteen Battleborn batteries, year-round hydropower, propane, and a diesel backup generator. Starlink high-speed internet supports remote work with ease. A spacious deck invites slow mornings with coffee and peaceful evenings listening to the creek below. A small usable flat area offers garden potential, and the property includes a shed and separate bunk house. Fire defensible space in place. No HOA. No CCRs. Financing available. Previously a full-time residence and now a second home, this property is ideal for a remote professional, outdoor enthusiast, writer's retreat, fishing escape, or mountain biking basecamp. Wildlife sightings have included deer, bears, and mountain lions. Enjoy privacy and independence while remaining close to Downieville's cafs, local events, rafting, hiking trails, fishing, and the renowned annual mountain bike race. If you've been searching for acreage, seclusion, and self-sufficiency without feeling completely disconnected this is a rare opportunity to own your own mountain sanctuary.
