Petrolia, CA, 95558

A rare legacy property in the heart of Humboldt County's Upper Mattole Valley — this one-of-a-kind offering includes three adjacent parcels featuring a homestead reminiscent of a past time, originally built in 1948. Step beyond the residential site, and the landscape opens up to lush pastureland, and enchanting fern lined trails winding through fir, bay laurel, wild rose, and oak. The land is rich with natural beauty: rolling meadows, about five acres of apple orchard, ancient oak groves, and over a mile of Mattole River frontage. The river wraps around the property like a secret kept safe, offering year-round access for summer swims, riverside picnics, or fishing in the winter months. Across Mattole Road, the property extends into a forested hillside within a timber production zone, complete with a flowing creek and a natural spring. The American dream feels alive and well; slow mornings, wide open space, and nature at your doorstep. Whether you're dreaming of a working homestead, a multi-generational investment, a private retreat, or a place of preserved beauty to escape to, this property offers space, privacy, and timeless potential in one of California's most breathtaking rural communities.
