Access to property is at 10150 Rough and Ready Road. Third driveway on the right.Some properties offer more than a home … they offer a lifestyle, a slower pace, and the feeling that you finally have room to breathe. Tucked at the end of the road for exceptional privacy, yet just minutes from both Grass Valley and Nevada City, this beautiful country property brings together usable land, good views, and the kind of setup that makes a homesteading heart happy. Designed for gardening, animals, projects, and easy outdoor living, so much of the groundwork has already been done. The fully fenced and cross-fenced property features a picturesque pond, greenhouse, fruit trees, raised garden beds, chicken coop, and fully irrigated landscaping. A valuable 1 miner’s inch of NID gravity-fed agricultural water, along with a 400-gallon holding tank, helps keep the property thriving, while the impressive two-story barn/shop provides abundant space for hobbies, equipment, animals, storage, or all the things that come with country living. An RV pad with hookups and drain offers added flexibility for guests or recreation. Inside, the home feels warm, with thoughtful spaces that feel easy to live in. The spacious living room and fireplace set the tone for cozy evenings, while large kitchen windows frame the surrounding views and bring the outside in. A dedicated dining area with built-in shelving adds charm and function, and the updated bathrooms give the home a fresh, cared-for feel. The primary suite is tucked downstairs away from the rest of the home, creating a private space that feels separate in the best way. With its own fireplace and custom closet system, it is a cozy place to start and end the day. Additional highlights include a Beam whole-house vacuum system, Murphy bed, in-wall safe, finished two-car garage with two additional flex rooms, and both gas and electric hookups available for appliances. A PG&E-installed backup power transfer meter is already in place for generator hookup, making the home better prepared for country living. Recent improvements include a new house roof 2021, barn roof 2023, and expansive deck 2024, so the big updates are already in motion. Whether you are dreaming of gardening, raising animals, casting a line in your own pond, working on projects in the barn, or simply soaking in the quiet beauty of Nevada County, this property offers the space, privacy, and lifestyle so many people come here looking for.
