This private 2.26 -acre property offers a unique Northern California sanctuary defined by its natural beauty and tranquility. Tucked away atop a private hill in the highly sought-after Bayside area, just minutes from Arcata, this exceptional 2.26 -acre property offers a rare opportunity to own a true Northern California sanctuary--where nature, light, and tranquility come together effortlessly.
Surrounded by mature trees and natural beauty, the property is defined by one of its most captivating features: a private creek flowing directly through the land. From the home's balconies, the gentle sound of water creates a constant sense of calm--an experience that is both grounding and unforgettable.
The home features four bedrooms and three bathrooms, with an interior illuminated by six skylights that create a bright and peaceful atmosphere. Key amenities include both gas and wood-burning fireplaces and balconies, and a creek flowing directly through the land.

Inside, the home is filled with natural light from six skylights, casting a soft, shifting glow that enhances the peaceful atmosphere throughout the day. The connection to nature is felt in every room.
Offering four bedrooms and three bathrooms, the home blends comfort with timeless character. Two fireplaces--one gas for ease, and one wood-burning for a more traditional ambiance--create inviting spaces to gather, relax, and unwind.
This is a property that invites a lifestyle:
" Quiet mornings with sunlight filtering through skylights
" Evenings by the fire, accompanied by the sound of your own creek
" Space, privacy, and a deep sense of retreat
Beyond its beauty, the land offers tangible long-term value. Mature trees provide potential periodic income, while the acreage allows for future flexibility, including the possibility of a secondary dwelling.
Despite its secluded feel, the home remains just minutes from town--offering the perfect balance between privacy and convenience....
