Serene and gorgeous historic homestead close to town. This is a rare opportunity to own an original pioneer homestead with large acre feel, exceptional privacy and stunning, unobstructed views of Mt. Ashland and surrounding wild natural beauty. Once the homestead of the 1,100 acre Anderson Ranch, this expansive 7 acre parcel offers usable, level terrain, year-round spring-fed Babe Creek with pioneer water rights, original heirloom apple and plum trees, old growth black walnut and black oak, alder, cedar, fir, and willow trees, wildflowers and abundant wildlife. There is a liveable 1993 924 square foot 2 bed, 2 bath manufactured home preserving the homesite and several historic outbuildings. The roof, siding, skirting and flooring have all been replaced within the last two years. Antique cedar split-rail fence surrounds the home. Water is sourced from both a high-producing well and deeded water rights. The land is a homesteader's dream and this would be an excellent place to build your dream home and garden, live in ultimate privacy, all while being only 8 miles from town.
