Come hear the creek, feel the fresh air under the redwoods and see one of the most extraordinary swimming holes you may ever encounter and know this place is something rare. Set along a year round spring-fed waterway with an 8 foot waterfall, granite steps, and flagstone patios it's a private retreat shaped by nature. This property carries a thoughtfully prepared future. After losing their home in the CZU Fire, the sellers spent years completing geo and environmental reports, house plans, septic design, native plant restoration, and engineering for new vehicular and pedestrian bridges. Pre-clearances are in place for a 1,594sf 3BD/2BA home plus a future 680sf 1BD/1BA ADU. Water is connected, PG&E in process, gas, cable, and existing septic on site, along with salvaged brick from the original 1909 fireplace. Brookdale's history includes early filmmaking and the iconic Brookdale Lodge. In the 1990s this property became a filming location for Redwood Curtain, starring Jeff Daniels and John Lithgow. Its easy to fall in love with this property for the same reason so many have over the decades summers spent swimming, evenings around the stone fireplace, and the peaceful sounds of nature. A rare opportunity to build a new home in an old-soul setting unlike anything else on the market.
