18561 Denny Rd

Burnt Ranch, CA

Step into established, comfortable, self-sufficient living at the edge of the magnificent Trinity Alps Wilderness! The historical interest of this property is fascinating, at one time the log cabin (3bed/1bath) was the Ladd Store, the hub of town. The main house (3bed/2bath) was originally the Denny Hotel housing packers & miners on their way up the New River, along w/ the Bunkhouse (3bed/1bath). All structures have been updated, renovated, & well maintained. Three fully functional homes, each with wood stoves & mini-split heat/AC units. Robust 10kW off-grid power system, solar & hydro + back-up generator, extensive irrigation system with creek water & a well. Nice 2-car garage & sheds, developed sunny garden area with fruit trees & a greenhouse. Prime retreat, vacation rental, or family homestead!

Yesteryear charm everywhere, these are solid structures with stories to tell... The main home features a classic wood-cook stove in the large country kitchen, in addition to a more modern gas range. Enjoy some porch sittin' on the covered deck overlooking the landscaped grounds and watch the 2-6 cars drive by each day, be sure to wave because you'll get to know them eventually, if you don't already. The cabin is built on a river-rock foundation with real logs for that rustic old-west charm and durability. The Bunkhouse has had recent updating including beautiful wood floors throughout and new kitchen cabinets. All the structures have durable metal roofs.

Smart water system with a hydraulic ram pump that moves water from the well near the house to a holding tank on the hill for gravity flow to all structures and the hydro-power system. Multiple water sources can be used for either domestic or agriculture, or independently. Shared water system from the creek that flows through the property, the drilled well in use is approx 7 gpm, and there’s another drilled well on the hill without a pump. Irrigation stations serve all parts of the property for landscaping and gardening efficiency. The garden area has been developed organically and includes rich, well amended soil with great sun exposure and a large metal-frame greenhouse. Several fruit trees, and nicely groomed grounds around all structures. Additional flat terrace on the upper part of the property has a small barn and large storage or workshop building surrounded by flat open ground. Water storage tanks are also stored up there, with road access for convenience.

Located in the New River canyon, where private property is as scarce as people, properties like this don’t come on the market very often, especially ones this well developed. The roads end in Denny, beyond the homes only a few miles are nothing but trailheads – you’re on foot from there with access to over 500,000 acres of Wilderness territory in some of the most breathtaking back-country in California, the Trinity Alps and Klamath Mountains. There are no ‘services’ in Denny, the closest small town is 45 minutes away, but there are a handful of neighbors who look out for each other and lend a hand when needed. Mail is delivered 3 days per week, while UPS and FedEx also deliver to Denny; with a blend of online ordering and friends picking up items on their town trips, you can get the goods you need pretty easily while avoiding the crowds and traffic of modern life.

All furnishings and appliances are being offered with the sale, making your move to the mountains even easier. Buried deep in the rugged mountains of Northern California, this place calls to those with an adventurous and independent spirit… Do you hear the call of the wilds?
