Property Description
Set along the banks of the legendary Downie River. This rare 25-acre Riverfront estate offers a combination of privacy, scale, and raw potential that is impossible to find. Sitting just minutes from the Historic Downieville Downtown area. Step out your back door and you're on the Banks of the Downie River. Fish, relax, or unwind to the sound of the river in a setting that feels a world away, yet remains just minutes from town. The main structure offers approximately 3,500 square feet of usable space, including a 1,900 sq ft lower level with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, plus a partially finished upper level of roughly 1,600 sq ft ready for expansion. Whether you envision a large private residence, a multi-unit retreat, or a lodge-style layout, the framework is already in place to bring it to life. A standout feature of the property is the impressive 30'x60' workshop with 12-foot walls, ideal for storing equipment, recreational vehicles, or operating a home-based business. Combined with the expansive acreage, this creates a true live-work-play environment suited for a wide range of uses. With its unmatched river frontage, proximity to world-class mountain biking, fishing, and outdoor recreation. The flexibility of both the land, improvements and location, this property is primed for transformation. Potential uses include a private family compound, short-term rental destination, fishing or adventure lodge, or a legacy mountain retreat. Properties like this offering substantial acreage, direct river access, and close proximity to town, rarely, if ever come available. This is a onetime opportunity to create something exceptional in one of Northern California's most iconic outdoor destinations.
