A rare opportunity for a large family home on four acres located in the beautiful and serene Freshwater Valley. This unique property offers quiet country living out of the fog, and is just minutes from Arcata, Eureka, and the highly acclaimed Freshwater School for grades pre-K through 8th. The warmer microclimate is a gardeners delight with mature landscaping, established blueberries, strawberries, garden beds, and an orchard with apple, cherry and pear trees. The property includes an approximately 1150 sq. ft. separately metered unit ready for finishing out to become a welcoming family member home, a rental or an awesome storage area. You'll also find a large shop, hay barn, corrals and tack room that are well away from the house, allowing for plenty of room for livestock and or hobbies. New roofs on both dwellings and a new septic system were installed in 2017, and the exterior paint has just been refreshed. The homes are connected to county water and high speed internet and the main home has a high efficiency dual zone furnace with UV filter, two water heaters, two fireplaces with stone hearths, lots of storage, and custom finishes throughout. The large office off of the sunken living room is ideal for remote work or entertaining, and there is a bright room for sewing or crafts. The lovely aggregate back patio offers many afternoons of family fun and BBQ time, all while enjoying the gorgeous views. All around, an inspiring and expressive property ready for you to call home (or make your own).
