Significant Price Reduction!!! Looking for that family retreat with far away mountain feel yet just a few minutes from downtown Nevada City? This property has so many options as a potential rental opportunities or family compound. The sprawling 6000+ SF floorplan lays out like a 10 different connected living areas with bathrooms, kitchenettes and common areas. The home is technically all one living structure per the county records but with creative separation and privacy that lends itself to living as a single family residence or potential multi-unit living situation. There is a detached 3 car garage with plenty of additional parking for RV or boat. Beautiful rock retaining walls with wrought iron fencing lend themselves to the theme of the compound which is The Railroad House with unique railroad accents throughout. Located just minutes to downtown Nevada City and all of the amenities that entails! The owner has been put under conservatorship and his estate now in charge of selling the home. This is truly a one of a kind home....must see to appreciate the potential.
