THIS IS SUCH AN AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!!! 2 Houses on over 2.5 acres LESS THAN 7 minutes to the Yuba River?!?! YES Please!!!! Opportunity, privacy, and income potential in one of Nevada County's favorite outdoor recreation areas. Tucked at the end of a private road on 2.65 acres, this unique property offers two separate homes, both are 3 bedrooms with two full baths!! The Main house is a nearly 1600sf beauty with high ceilings, open floor plan, an additional open loft and attached over-sized garage! The other home, on its own driveway, feels completely separate and private from the main home. It's 1000 sf with a quaint covered porch, radiant floor heating, a huge green house, mature fruit trees and large attached garage. Both of these houses are so close to the adorable and vibrant little town of North San Juan but with the RARE PRIVACY that comes from backing directly to BLM land, so you have no neighbors on the back side. Surrounded by nature and located just minutes from an amazing swimming hole at the Yuba River, this is the kind of property that appeals to buyers who see potential. The second home is currently tenant occupied and generating over $1,800 per month in rental income, providing immediate cash flow while you improve the property or create your long-term vision. The main home recently received interior paint and started flooring updates. Some work is needed on both houses, but that is reflected in the incredible price for TWO HOUSES. All available inspections have already been completed, allowing buyers to make informed decisions before moving forward. For investors, contractors, or buyers looking for a foothold in Nevada County at an accessible price point with immediate income, opportunities like this are becoming increasingly difficult to find. The combination of two homes, rental income, end-of-road privacy, backing to public land, and a location less than 7 minutes from Oregon Creek Crossing -- a local favorite for swimming, fishing, and enjoying the Yuba River -- creates a compelling foundation for the right buyer. Bring your vision, your tools, and your imagination. The work ahead is reflected in the opportunity price. Schedule your private showing today!
