A Rare Piece of Gold Country. 25 Acres. Endless Possibilities. Tucked away in the historic Gold Rush community of Lake City, this extraordinary 25-acre retreat offers something increasingly difficult to find: privacy, independence, breathtaking beauty, and the freedom to live life on your own terms. Perched on a sun-drenched knoll with sweeping westerly views and spectacular sunsets, the custom-built David Wright home blends timeless craftsmanship with the natural beauty of the Sierra foothills. Vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors, and inviting living spaces define the 2-bedroom, 2-bath main residence, while separate guest quarters with a kitchen and full bath offer flexibility for guests, extended family, or creative pursuits. Beyond the home is where this property truly shines! An approximately 3-acre vineyard planted with Pinot Grigio and Merlot, an established orchard, garden areas, pond, seasonal stream, and trails throughout the acreage create your own private mountain playground. An extensive off-grid solar system with battery storage and generator backup, multiple wells, substantial water storage, and established distribution infrastructure provide the foundation for self-reliant living. A detached two-car garage, workshop and storage areas add even more versatility. Whether you envision a private mountain escape, working homestead, vineyard lifestyle, or recreational retreat, this property offers the space and infrastructure to bring your vision to life. Located approximately 40 minutes from Nevada City, close to the Yuba River and endless outdoor recreation, this is a rare opportunity to own a remarkable piece of California's historic Gold Country. Some properties offer a place to live. This one offers a way of life.
