Property Description

A Rare Riverfront Retreat with Endless Potential Tucked along the scenic Yuba River, this unique property offers a rare opportunity to own a riverfront haven with both residential and income-producing potential. Spanning both sides of Highway 49, the estate blends natural beauty, rustic charm, and a wealth of possibilities for those looking to create something truly special. The main residence, a spacious home, and ADU/duplex cabin comprises 3702 SqFt, was originally crafted in 1958 by a skilled local builder and has been thoughtfully improved over the years. With four bedrooms, four and a half bathrooms, and three fireplaces—including a kitchen hearth—this home exudes warmth and character. A grand stone fireplace anchors the living room, while large windows invite in natural light and picturesque views. The covered patio, garden area, and saltwater pool offer a peaceful outdoor escape. The large eat-in kitchen has a breakfast nook, pantry and family room, with additional dens and space for an office throughout the main home. Its solid craftsmanship and timeless appeal provide the perfect foundation for a dream retreat. The property also comes with a Bed and Breakfast permit. A natural spring supplies fresh water to the main house, enhancing its self-sustaining charm. A One-of-a-Kind Riverfront Setting With an impressive 1,500 feet of Yuba River frontage, this property offers an unparalleled connection to nature. Key features include: A charming duplex log cabin, ideal for guests or rental income, each one having its own kitchen and bathroom. A fully equipped RV park with seven full hook-ups. Four additional riverfront cabins located on United States Forest Service (USFS) land, operating as a successful seasonal business from May through early October. These cabins have their own parking area and are just steps from the river's clear waters. One cabin even has four bedrooms, accommodating up to ten guests. While the USFS land cannot be purchased outright, it is secured through an exclusive lease—offering the rare privilege of running a profitable riverfront retreat in a highly sought-after setting. Spring-Fed & Self-Sustaining The O'Shaughnessey spring-fed creek provides pure, natural water to the home, cabins, duplex, and RV park—ensuring a reliable and sustainable water source. A Property with Potential Known as China Flats, this one-of-a-kind riverfront estate is full of opportunities. Whether you seek a private sanctuary, an income-generating investment, or a blend of both, this scenic setting provides the perfect backdrop to create something truly extraordinary.
