DESIRAbLE FIELDbROOK ESTATE Distinctively scenic redwood forest atmosphere, private and serene, parklike with trails and waterfalls audible in winter, orchard and extensive gardens. Main house is two bedrooms on upper level with upgraded new kitchen, bedroom, optional bedroom/offce, large living room and dining room. The lower level, like an in-law suite, has a bath and kitchen, living room, bedroom opening to a a large multipurpose room, plus a laundry room for the building. Downstairs could be rented, has separate entrances. Beyond the house, there's a compound with a sunny, south forest view cabin, kitchen with sink, woodsy feeling loft with skylight, separate bathhouse, and on demand water heater. Separately there's an elevated sleeping cabin with a waterfall view, plus a treehouse suspended above the waterfalls. The tree house has power, and the redwoods around it have been pruned to form a canopy, a feature one must see to appreciate. At the treehouse one could plug in and watch movies with a waterfall backdrop… special! The main house is very bright, tall windows on all sides, very high ceilings, with a perimeter redwood deck. At night the deck and surrounding redwoods are dramatically lit. The Fieldbrook location is out of the way and private, two miles up a gravel road, both an asset (the air is fresh and delicious like a National Park, end of the road privacy) and a disadvantage (although the road is well maintained, it's an eighteen minute drive to the Safeway in McKinleyville). A private location, UPS and Fedex service the homesite. The lot is ten acres, mostly redwoods, some quite large trees, and two creeks, one year around, traverse the property. One tree in the paved parking area in front of the main house is 6' diameter; one madrone tree is quite remarkable. The grounds feature countless hybrid rhododendrons and daffodils, native and cultivated berries, plus so many roses and perennial plantings. An 8' deer fence and electric gate surround the the main house and gardens. There's a 12' x 30' insulated storage building, a new 30,000 gallon spring fed potable water tank, and both houses have decorative propane gas/marble freplaces which could be converted back to wood. There's a dish for internet and TV, perimeter 8' deer fencing, and the wood foors and custom redwood windows and trim are notable. We Connect Buyers & Sellers
