Charming Owner-Built Log Home on 5 Private Acres in Forest Ranch, CA. Welcome to your own mountain retreat! This beautifully crafted 2 bedroom, 2 bath log home was lovingly built by the owner with exceptional care and attention to detail. Constructed with 9 inch diameter Lodgepole Pine logs sourced from Yellowstone National Park, each log was hand fitted with saddle-notched corners and Swedish coped bottoms, then sealed with dual beads of polyurethane adhesive for lasting strength and insulation. Step inside to find warm, rustic character paired with thoughtful design. The main floor features the primary bedroom and bath, while the second bedroom/loft and additional bath are located upstairs. Enjoy cozy evenings by the fireplace or prepare meals in the well equipped kitchen, complete with a gas range/oven, microwave, dishwasher, and pantry. The R-52 insulated ceilings and ceiling fans in both bedrooms and the living room ensure year-round comfort. Beautifully repurposed 12” x 1” dimensional redwood sourced from an old hay barn graces the stairway and master bedroom walls, adding timeless texture and history. An interior staircase also leads to a full basement, offering ample storage or workshop potential. Outside, you’ll find a guest cottage/studio with a wood stove, sink, bathroom with shower stall, and washer/dryer hookups perfect for visitors, hobbies, or a home office. Two 12' x 12' log storage buildings and a 12' x 16' shop building provide even more versatility. A 7, 000 watt gasoline/propane generator ensures peace of mind by powering the well and home during outages. Set on 5 tranquil acres bordered by Forest Ranch Road and Peregrine Road, this property offers a serene, private setting surrounded by larger 5-, 10-, and 20 acre parcels, an ideal spot to enjoy nature, privacy, and the beauty of mountain living.
