First time on the market in over 25 years, this 10-acre ridge-top ranch captures the essence of Sierra Nevada Foothill living, peaceful, practical, and connected to the land. Thoughtfully cared for, it carries the warmth of a home that has seen families grow, animals roam, and countless sunsets paint the horizon. Expansive 180-degree mountain vistas to the east fill the bright, open interior with golden morning light. The main level offers comfortable everyday living, while the second floor provides flexible space for bedrooms, laundry, or creative retreat. "The Bridge" and "The Way High" add architectural interest with lofty views and inspiring natural light. Large decks in back extend the living space outdoors, ideal for relaxing or entertaining beneath wide-open skies. The property also includes a .75 AC fenced horse area, garden shed, and large home water-storage tank with filtration system supporting a self-reliant lifestyle. The ~1,600 sq ft detached shop, once the property's original residence, offers power, water, wood-stove heat, and evaporative cooling, exceptional space for a guest house, ADU, or Airbnb retreat. AG-5 zoning. Easy access to Hwy 20, I-80, SMF, Tahoe, and the Yuba River haven blends privacy, function, and the quiet beauty of foothills living.
