A natural HOT WATER WELL means the main house has hot water for endless showers. If 2 houses aren’t enough, there is room to build another home and it even has another septic system and well on the far side of this 5.25 ACRE PARCEL. In addition to the geothermal well which produces approx 15 gpm of water ranging from 103 to 126 degrees, there are also TWO COLD WATER WELLS and old irrigation ditches making this a gardener’s dream complete with a big fenced garden to keep out the local mule deer and antelope. Garden has a gazebo too. Remodeled by professional restaurant owners, the kitchen in the 1670 sf main house is a chef’s dream with Artisan hammered metal range hood, custom cabinets and a rustic hand dug WINE CELLAR. Rich hardwood and elegant tile floors and all the lovely quirky details you would hope to find in a home built in the 1930s make this house inviting and functional. The guest house is fully self-contained (other than shared laundry) and newly finished and is 640 square feet with vaulted ceilings and looks out over Upper Lake with front row seats for the full moon rises and brilliant sunrises right from your King bed (most guest house furnishings are included with the sale). Both homes have metal roofs and concrete siding. There are many large shade trees, fruit trees and a stand of 16 Black Locust trees that have beautifully scented blossoms in spring and incredible hardwood. Whether you are looking for a sustainable homestead, an investment property to build another home on or to create a hot spring resort, this is a rare find. Possible seller financing. Buyer to investigate all aspects and uses to their satisfaction. Tax records show 3 beds, one bath and 1677 sf. Seller states 2310 sf living space with guest house and 3 beds plus office and 2.5 baths. 3 more out buildings and a shipping container with windows are included in the sale. Nestled on the Western most edge of the Great Basin near Lake City, California, this property has stunning views of the Hayes Mountain range in Nevada and backs to the Warner Mountains know for their pristine lakes and wilderness areas. Lake city sits near the middle of Surprise Valley, rich with wildlife, farmlands and famous hot spring resorts, excellent gem hunting, gold mines and a welcoming community. The 4 towns in Surprise Valley have formed a thriving little food hub and offer local meats, cheeses, breads, veggies and canned goods.
