A Stunning Home in the Mattole Valley! A lovingly realized home on 5 bountiful acres in the beautiful Mattole valley flatlands with river access! An extremely hard to find property for this area, this is a rare and unique chance to own a piece of paradise in one of the most picturesque and sought after communities of northern California. Situated just 4.5 miles west of Honeydew, CA this property enjoys moderate summer temperatures and mild winters thanks to the unique "banana belt" influence the lower Mattole valley enjoys. Lush forests clad the picturesque hillsides surrounding the property in all directions, and a brief 13 mile drive down the valley to the mouth of the Mattole River ends at the pristine beaches and stunning scenery of California's famed Lost Coast. The Home Walking distance to the river, this home is a beautifully constructed and well maintained 1960 vintage cedar log cabin that features many interior and exterior upgrades and a host of well integrated modern enhancements. Featuring approximately 1,200 square feet, 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, and a dedicated utility room, its vaulted beamed ceilings throughout offer a spacious open feel that is further expanded by 2 sets of double French doors that open to an enormous wrap around cedar porch that enjoys open meadow views to the south and the tree-lined banks of the river only 100 yards to the north. The inside of the home features truly gorgeous cedar log interior walls and deluxe dual pane windows throughout. A permanently installed Monitor propane heating system and rigid 3" ceiling insulation throughout insures cool summer and warm winter environs. The kitchen features hickory cabinets, sunny exterior views, and includes a dishwasher, refrigerator, and range/oven. The bath features a free standing claw foot tub with shower, pedestal sink, attractive tile flooring and enjoys outdoor lighting from its large floor to ceiling glass block window array. The bedrooms have nice views of the surrounding greenery, plenty of closet space, and also enjoy vaulted ceilings and cedar log walls. Other features include tan oak hardwood floors throughout, an energy saving Bosch AquaStar on demand hot water heater, a durable metal roof, and newly installed gutters. Outside, the grounds are a gardeners dream, with large areas that provide day-long sunshine and include a fruit producing orchard with apples, plum, pears, persimmon and colorful maple and liquid amber trees to mention a few. An artificial pond lends it's beauty to the yard. Nearby, the garage features 2 parking bays, a large enclosed shop area with built-in workbench, dozens of sq. ft. of covered utility and storage insets, and even a beautifully functional chicken coop area. Last but not least, the neighboring property (the large meadow to the south) has a conservation easement in effect to preserve the wide open meadows to the south.
