Privacy, possibilities, and panoramic foothill views await at this gated hilltop retreat! Tucked away at the end of a private road with no through traffic, this stick-built 2-bedroom, 1-bath home offers approximately 1,260 square feet on 10.23 peaceful acres. Approximately $40,000 in improvements have just been completed, creating a fresh foundation for its next owner. The kitchen features brand-new, never-used appliances-including a gas range, built-in microwave, and dishwasher-with the protective film still in place. A detached garage provides valuable parking, storage, and workspace, along with a second partially finished full bathroom. The property also benefits from two water sources: public water through North Yuba Water District and a private well currently used for irrigation. Established fruit trees and a fenced garden area with raised beds offer a wonderful start for those dreaming of gardening, homesteading, or a more self-sufficient lifestyle. One of the property's most exciting features is a separate level area with its own spectacular views-an appealing location to explore the possibility of a shop, home office, second residence, or ADU, subject to applicable approvals. Whether you are looking for a peaceful full-time home, private country escape, or acreage with room to expand, this unique property offers the space, seclusion, and versatility to bring your vision to life.
