About This Property
Seller is motivated to sell this self-sustaining, off-grid retreat! This well-built cabin is a permitted, 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom dwelling. The approx 576 sq/ft cabin sits on 20 open acres with the beautiful year-round Indian Creek going through the property. Home is already functioning as off-grid living with solar (450 watts), an inverter system, and 2- 3000 watt Honda generators in an enclosed shed. The cabin's main water supply is gravity-fed by a year-round spring. Secondary water source is pumped from the creek, powered by a 1.5 hp Honda pump for any additional gardening needs. Irrigation lines are insulated with heat tape to minimize freezing, along with 2- 2500 gallon water storage tanks for max storage. Additional structures include a solid 10x10 storage shed, a cozy sauna room with a woodstove, and multiple out buildings for storage. The porch has been enclosed for sleeping on breezy summer nights while listening to the creek. Seller will include brand new kitchen cabinets, flooring, and a stainless steel farm sink for your fresh renovation. (Buyer installs). To access the cabin requires 4x4 to drive across the creek. In case of high water flows there is a metal grate ferry chair-car on a steel cable system to cross the creek. There are multiple open building sites and garden areas located on both sides of Indian Creek Road. Road is paved all the way to the driveway. BLM also borders the property on 2 sides. The property also extends approx 50-75 yards up the hill on the left side of Indian Creek Road. Self sufficiency and off-grid living are ready and waiting with this property!

California resets the tax to about 1% of the sale price, plus local bonds, so the seller's current bill does not carry over.
Insurance starts at a typical figure for homes like this one. Quotes vary widely in Shasta County, so get one early.

Results are estimates based on the numbers entered and on assumptions that may not fit your situation. The starting interest rate is a national weekly average published by Freddie Mac and is not a rate quote; your actual rate, payment and loan terms depend on your credit, income, down payment, loan program, points and lender, and rates change daily. Property tax is estimated at about 1.1% of the price and may be higher where special assessments or Mello-Roos taxes apply. Home insurance starts from typical local figures for the home's location, using public map data that may be out of date or incomplete; actual quotes vary widely. Mortgage insurance is a rough estimate. HOA dues come from the MLS listing and should be confirmed with the association. Closing costs, prepaid items, reserves and other fees are not included.
