Classic Log Home River Retreat. Located within the gated Forest River subdivision of South Monterey County, this 41.98 acre property offers a rare combination of usable land, end-of-road privacy, and classic California ranch character. Built in 2010, the 1,431 square foot log home features 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a spacious loft overlooking the main living area. Vaulted ceilings with exposed beams create an open, inviting atmosphere, while large wood-clad windows bring in natural light and frame the surrounding landscape. A covered porch spanning two sides of the home extends the living space outdoors and captures sweeping views of rolling hills, open meadows, and mature oak trees. Wood-clad sliding glass doors from both the living room and dining area open directly to the front porch, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor connection. The land is exceptionally usable, with gentle topography, established roads, and a balanced mix of open pasture and oak woodland. Zoned Permanent Grazing (PG), the property supports agricultural use, livestock, and long-term land stewardship. Multiple potential building sites offer flexibility for expansion or additional improvements, while elevation changes provide both privacy and scenic vistas throughout. Additional features include a solar power system with newly replaced batteries, a private well with a new solar pump system, and a 5,000-gallon water storage tank, supporting a self-sufficient, off-grid lifestyle. The property is also equipped with a conventional septic system, private gated entrance, and abundant wildlife. Ownership within Forest River includes access to 236 acres of private community land along with the Nacimiento River corridor, offering exceptional opportunities for recreation, relaxation, and outdoor enjoyment. Whether youre seeking a weekend retreat, recreational property, or full-time rural residence, this is a rare opportunity to own a turnkey ranch in one of Monterey Countys most desirable private rural communities. Bank financing available with 30% down. Information deemed reliable but not guaranteed. Buyer to verify all information to their satisfaction.
