This property has ALL the charm! Built in 1890 and said to be the oldest home in Forbestown (in the Sierra Nevada Foothills), this 3 bedroom + 1.5 bathroom home on 1.68 acres is a beautiful statement of history. Original floors, walls (one feature wall has exposed newspaper used as insulation at the time and date stamped 1894), stone foundation (now reinforced with beams), and artesian well in the basement (dating back to the California Gold Rush). Newer structural upgrades include updated plumbing, electrical, septic system, metal roof, HardiePanel siding, wood deck, and fresh exterior paint (April 2023). Property also has a new 18' x 20' metal garage on concrete slab, barn, second (original) garage, RV pad with separate graveled driveway + power and water hookups, and 12 old-growth fruit and nut trees! Seasonal "stream" runs through the property with bridge ? so picturesque! Close to many lakes and outdoor activities with room to park/store your boats and toys. Raised beds for gardening and a fenced area for your farm animals, this property is ideal for a rural lifestyle.
