Also, the summertime fog zone ends before it reaches the property. The zoning results in low taxes, since timber acreage is taxed mainly at the time trees are cut. Water Supply: Water is currently supplied from a spring well with a powerful irrigation pump and is supplemented by a 32-PSI gravity water system that is needed from June through September and is also useful for power outages or off-grid. A 7-gallon-per-minute deep well has been drilled. It still needs a pump and a pressure tank. The grounds: A network of trails has been created throughout the property, including a half mile of grass-paved roads that may be navigated by an ATV or small 4-wheel drive. A summer footbridge makes it easy to cross the river or dangle your feet in the water. Massive concrete supports remain from a prior vehicle bridge. The Dept. of Water Resources has approved the construction of a new one. For the garden, there are terraced raised-bed planters, a high-fenced orchard, and built-in planters on the decks. Optionally, the property may be delivered fully equipped for grounds maintenance. Available are a 35-HP tractor with a flail mower extendable 26" to the side for trail and road maintenance, a box scraper, a finish mower, landscape rake implements, 2 chainsaws, 3 power mowers, 3 weed whackers, and a portable generator.

It has a garage on each level. The main shop room and adjacent workroom are insulated, drywalled and have 20-amp and 30-amp heater outlets. The shop is equipped with a 10" radial arm saw, a 10" table saw, a 10" band saw, a large multiple-speed drill press, and a 6" long-bed jointer.  Home floor plan: The main level has an open floor plan with living, dining, and kitchen. Two bedrooms and a full bath occupy an enclosed alcove. A partly-finished master suite with waterfall view has its own exterior entrance.

On the main floor, there is also a room plumbed for washer, dryer, and sink. Or it may serve as an office. Several hand-crafted build-ins were created by the owner, who is a home designer and furniture maker. An L-shaped staircase leads to a lower level with den, laundry room, future sauna space, basement, bonus room, and a second master suite with a tiled bathroom and cherry cabinets. The third story consists of a partly-finished grand master suite with waterfall view. This space has finished electric. The vaulted ceiling is ready for the owner's choice of wood planking.

Expansion and remodeling: Over the past 34 years, the designer/builder owner has expanded the original 2-story, 2800-sq.-ft. building into a 3-story, architecturally-unique, 4500+ sq.-ft. home with all bedrooms as wings, creating ideal privacy. To complete the two unfinished master suites: paint, trim, flooring, plumbing, cabinetry, tile work and some lights will be needed. Since the expansion was done in several stages over the years, some remedial work will be required on siding, roofing and decking. Also, some windows and the garage door will need to be replaced.
