Enchanting Creekside Retreat with Treehouse and Seasonal Waterfalls. Step into your personal paradise, nestled within the heart of Fieldbrook's lovely embrace. Far more than just a dwelling, this property stands as a rare treasure, a thriving investment, and a unicorn within the realm of real estate possibilities. Situated on nearly 10 private acres of secluded redwood forest, a gated haven greets you with a custom 4br/2ba main home (2,608 SF) showcasing masterfully crafted old-growth redwood finishes, expansive windows, knotty larch ceilings, oak hardwood flooring, an open floor plan with chef's kitchen, and a wheelchair-accessible wrap-around deck with 6-person hot tub. The entire compound has flourished as a licensed short-term rental since 2018. Adjacent to the main home awaits a charming studio mother-in-law cottage, complete with full kitchen and bath, ideal for accommodating guests or generating supplementary income. A captivating treehouse terrace, perched 80 feet above a creek and lush fern grotto, offers sunset panoramas and sweeping forest views. Savor the luxury of pristine water sourced year-round from the springhead, flowing into a 34,000-gallon potable holding tank, its purity ensured by a threefold filtration system. In the private valley below, two creeks converge in a breathtaking confluence, featuring two detached creekside cabins, a charming bath house, and two separately enclosed gardens. A raised wooden pathway leads to a glass-enclosed, electrified treehouse, poised above a seasonal waterfall. Additional opportunities for income beckon. A modernly restored 1967 Airstream rests amidst 20+ year old apple trees and a new deck on its own sunny landing. This and a separate pull-through campsite both boast reclaimed grain silos featuring bathroom amenities. Wander among the labyrinth of nearly 10 acres, tracing groomed walking trails that lead to hidden waterfalls, gazing benches, and mature orchards bearing blossoms and fruits. Envision a picturesque wedding venue, a tranquil yoga or corporate retreat, an inspiring artist's haven - all embraced by the soothing presence of creeks, waterfalls, and the encompassing forest. Brand new 1600 kw Kohler generator with auto turn-on that powers the entire property. Propane tanks are equipped with smart meters that automatically notify sequoia/blue star of tank levels.
