Tucked into the scenic foothills of Browns Valley, this custom log home on 6 private acres offers a rare combination of privacy, durability, and proven income potential, something increasingly difficult to find in today's market. Soaring ceilings and expansive windows fill the open-concept living space with natural light, while an expansive wrap-around covered porch overlooks a year-round creek and peaceful natural landscape, creating a setting that feels both private and connected to nature. Built with longevity in mind, the home features termite-resistant logs treated with natural, non-toxic borate and energy-efficient construction. The foundation is Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF), offering enhanced fire resistance, insulation, and structural strength (buyer to verify). A newer furnace adds to overall efficiency and year-round comfort. Currently operating as a successful vacation rental on Airbnb and VRBO, the property offers established, income-producing potential, ideal for buyers seeking a second home that can offset ownership costs or function as a flexible live/work retreat. The land itself adds to the appeal, with usable acreage, a year-round water feature, and a natural setting that supports both recreation and long-term enjoyment. Whether used as a personal getaway, full-time residence, or hybrid investment, the property offers multiple paths for ownership. Located within easy reach of Grass Valley, Nevada City, the Yuba River, and several lakes, this property combines lifestyle, land, and functionality in one compelling offering. Opportunities with this level of versatility, privacy, and income potential are increasingly limited in the Northern California foothills.
