4353 Chatee Ln #1, Rescue, CA 95672

This is a unique and rare opportunity to live close to nature on beautiful oak and meadow acreage, live a homestead lifestyle and get to run an existing and profitable farm operation part or full time, and still be five minutes from Starbucks. The main home is a unique two story, appx 1500 SF 3/2 home on acreage in the Shingle Spring/ Cameron Park/ Rescue area. The kitchen is large and pretty with granite countertops, dual stoves, 6-top gas burners, built-in SubZero fridge and freezers, kitchen island and dual sinks. Living room adjoins the dining room, itself highlighted by a large round window looking out on oak trees. The house is special for its open-air build, numerous large windows throughout with trees and sunlight everywhere, accentuated by the vaulted ceilings and open post-and-beam architecture. Downstairs has an office/ bedroom and full bath as well. Upstairs is the master bedroom and deck, twin-showers with cathedral windows, and guest bedroom we call it "the treehouse room" as it looks directly into the nearby trees. The exterior has dual-level, wrap-around hardwood decking to the south, great for entertaining or enjoying the stunning views of the countryside. The property is 10 acres of south-facing hill and pasture. The living areas are at the top of the property and mostly wooded with meadows here and there. The lower 3-5 acres has some forest but is mostly open and level pasture with a seasonal stream. There is electric fencing enclosing approximately three acres and suitable for continuing animal presence. It is a beautiful and unique property and boasts lots of potential for continued farming and homesteading development, including enclosing more land for pasturing, cutting and using oak for heating in the woodstove, room for garden beds or orchards, etc. You will share the property with two other tenants who live in nearby residences; 100 and 150 feet from the primary residence. They are quiet and pleasant. The property requires some consistent annual maintenance as well, and the owner is open to figuring in some of this property work in return for a rent credit. These activities would include processing seasonally downed oak trees (cutting/ moving, chipping the crowns); springtime weed-whacking and grass abatement in the living areas and driveway, and standard farm infrastructure maintenance (mostly erecting and maintaining fencing and animal structures). Tenant will be able to, in coordination with the owner, put in garden beds or orchard areas. The farming operation is a regenerative poultry and sheep operation and includes two mature and excellent livestock guardian dogs, all the equipment necessary to run a pastured meat bird operation (brooding, grow-out, harvest and refrigeration) of 50-80 meat birds per month, as well as a laying hen (egg) operation of appx 100 active laying hens producing ~ 50 eggs/ day. Currently a herd of sheep is on the property, and we can discuss whether and how the tenant may be interested in maintaining or changing the setup here. They are great for meat and grass maintenance should one be willing to manage and harvest them. The current owner is open to training and mentoring the tenant on how to run the operation. The owner and tenant will negotiate a one-year only, monthly fee for the farm operation. Manager functions: Tenant will also be responsible for taking down trashcans on Sundays (using landlord's equipment), and troubleshooting water needs for the other residences should they occur, as well as manage the farm water needs in a conservative way. Preference will be given to well-qualified applicants who ALSO want to participate in/ take over the farming operation. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED - please send a "snapshot" of your income and credit and a brief statement about why you think you would be a good fit here; I think Zillow allows this. I will review and, if it seems like it could be a fit, I will reach out to set up a phone call to discuss. NO TOURS OR VIEWINGS WILL OCCUR before this initial phone call takes place. Thank you 1 or 2 year lease, Move-in with first months rent (pro-rated based on exact move-in date), and 1 month security deposit plus any pet deposits. 2 month lease-break fee. Preference will be given to well-qualified applicants who are also interested in taking over the farming operation.
