The tiny home provides everything one needs to by comfortable and happy. Its located at the bottom of the valley above the main meadow. You can hear the sound of the creek from camp all year long.
There are many places to visit that are nearby including Englebright Lake, which is great for boating and fishing only 5 minutes away. South Yuba River State Park is 15 minutes away featuring one of the oldest covered bridges in the West. Yuba River is magical with crystal clear water, deep swimming holes and warm beaches.

About the host
Hosted by Joe Coberly
Hello! I live in Grass Valley raising a family. My trade is landscaping with an emphasis in growing food. My hobbies include playing drums, exploring the local rivers, lakes, and mountains and developing the property.
Why they chose this property
This property is magical. The feeling of solace one gets when staying here is profound. It's too big and beautiful not to share as it does feel like a State Park. When we first walked this property, it seemed unreal that is was even for sale. From the massive retaining wall built by gold miners to the Native American grind stones, the history of this place sent chills through my body. There's still so much to uncover and we are only just beginning.
What makes this property unique
This tiny home is has everything you need to be comfortable from a heater and air conditioning to a mini fridge and convection cook top. There's plenty of natural lighting and a table to eat or work. There is an on demand water heater that is hooked up to the house and the outdoor bathtub. The best unique benefit of them all is the 135 acres that you can explore or just feel at peace surrounded by nature. But if you forgot to buy something at the store, have no fear because the grocery market is near. There are many amenities nearby including restaurants, hardware store and night life. You get the best of both worlds.
