Move Over Tahoe; Make Way for Mt. Shasta

Right now, in San Francisco, for $1.1 million you could buy a 2 bedroom, 1 bath, 1,000 square-foot condo with no parking in North Beach. Or a 1,700 square-foot lot located just west of 101 in the Inner Mission. Or a Sunset 1,400 sq. ft. single family home in need of serious updating.

Or – for the same price in Mount Shasta, California – you could purchase a dream come true.

Case in point: 2636 Old Mill Road, just listed for $1,100,000. A place where you can truly exhale and rest in a “just right” environment.

Private, quiet, and surrounded by nature, this mountain home works for long-weekend escapes, a ski-week basecamp, or a summer you never quite want to leave. Eventually it can be a full-time home—after first doing its job as a refreshing getaway.

It’s warm and solid, with vaulted wood ceilings, expansive windows, and views that keep you oriented to the outdoors. The main living space is an inviting “great room” with two seating areas, an oversized kitchen, a huge dining space and a stone fireplace as its focal point. And that’s just for starters! Check out the website to see photos of the private primary suite, guest bedrooms, office, rec room, and more.

Outside are spacious decks, garden and orchard space, and a cedar greenhouse. There’s an attached three-car garage, as well as a separate two-car shop. The house’s systems are topnotch (and include solar), plus the five-acre lot affords maximum privacy.

Lakewood Ranch, where the property is located, is a highly desirable, low-density development in a best-kept-secret location. Near (but not too near) the towns of Mount Shasta and Weed. Close to numerous trails and hikes. Situated on beautiful Hammond Pond – where you can enjoy a cool dip on hot summer days without having to drive anywhere.

In the vast expanse of Siskiyou County—California’s largest by area—magical Mount Shasta towers above all, anchoring one of Northern California’s most desirable (and relatively untrumpeted) destinations. Here you’ll find quiet beauty, wide-open skies, a friendly community, world-class outdoor recreation, and a sense of spiritual renewal that draws people from all over the world. Move over Tahoe!
