Tucked along coveted Deer Creek frontage, this one-of-a-kind Nevada City retreat offers a rare blend of privacy, lifestyle, and in-town convenience with access to the Deer Creek Trail—walk to downtown Nevada City or Pioneer Park while still feeling surrounded by nature. A circular driveway welcomes you past a beautiful ornamental pond with waterfall, setting the tone for the peaceful setting beyond. Designed for easy living, the home offers level entry on both levels and lives like a single-level residence, with the main living areas, guest bedroom, and spacious primary suite with its own office and sitting area all on the main floor. Inside, warm wood beams, slate and tile flooring, expansive windows, and multiple outdoor access points create a timeless, inviting feel. The main living areas open to private decking where you can relax above the trees, listen to the creek, and take in the natural setting. The kitchen features generous cabinetry, a center island, stainless appliances, and charming architectural details, while the dining area offers built-in bench seating and peaceful wooded views. The lower level expands the possibilities with a wine cellar, workshop areas, storage, and flexible space for multigenerational living, guest quarters, a bunk room, hobbies, recreation, or potential ADU use. Two large garages, RV parking, and additional storage areas provide excellent functionality for boats, lake toys, snowmobiles, equipment, or extra vehicles. Additional highlights include central vacuum, radiant heat with multiple zones, copper gutters, a 6K Cummins Onan generator, fenced garden area, and easy access to local lakes, trails, and ski resorts. Spend your mornings on the trail, afternoons by the creek or waterfall, and evenings unwinding on your private deck—all just minutes from town.
