A view of the Point Arena lighthouse awaits you on this unique, quiet country property in Manchester, 3 hours north of the Bay Area. Built in 1936, the 2 bedroom, 1 bath home was extensively remodeled in 1992. Improvements included a new foundation & expanded kitchen with vaulted ceilings, skylights, & a Wolf Stove. The standing room basement contains wine racks, hookups for washer/dryer & storage space. Just outside the house, a concrete pad is wired with 220V for whatever size hot tub you desire. Despite the good bones, there is sweat equity to be had here. Once restored, the wraparound deck off the kitchen will again offer expansive views that include the lighthouse. The land tells a story.

The quaint 1 bedroom, 1 bath Ranch Cottage Home offers the opportunity to reside while you build your dream home on the grassy knobs overlooking Manchester and the Point Arena Light House. Brush Creek Ranch was settled in the 1840's and served as the site for a one-room school house built for the owners daughter and local children. As progress marched forward, much of the ranch was converted from timber production to grazing and grain production in the 1800's. In the 1900's it was the home of a Grade B Dairy and timberlands. The 2000's gave way to its use as a horse farm and private wildlife preserve. The home orchard contains several apple trees brought to the area by Luther Burbank and hosts a rare specimen of red peach. While time has marched on, nothing has been forgotten. This is truly a historical property like no other.
