Video
A newer-built home on 38 acres of end-of-the-road privacy in Douglas City, California, listed at $379,900. Built in 2020, the 1,863-square-foot house features vaulted wood-beam ceilings and a wraparound redwood deck, backed by two wells, riparian creek rights, a 60x30 shop, and established gardens set up for serious self-sufficiency.
The land and setting
The lot is 38 acres at the end of the road, behind the property’s own locked gate, with the listing emphasizing the privacy and seclusion of the setting. A creek with riparian rights runs through the land, with irrigation systems already in place.
Two wells and three tanks provide ample water supply, and the property includes 10,000 square feet of raised beds and hoop houses ready for planting, along with established fruit trees, per the listing.
The house
The home is 1,863 square feet, built in 2020, with three bedrooms and two full bathrooms. Vaulted wood-beam ceilings and an open floor plan run through the main living space, with a wood stove anchoring the living room.
The kitchen opens to the dining and living area, with wood cabinetry, a brick tile backsplash, and a breakfast bar.
One of the bathrooms features a striking cobalt blue tiled walk-in shower.
A large, partially heart-redwood wraparound deck wraps the main level, offering covered outdoor living space in every direction.
The outbuildings and amenities
A 60x30 shop with two roll-up doors offers space for projects, equipment, and storage.
A wood-fired hot tub sits just outside the house, offering a way to unwind after a day on the property.
A couple of smaller wood structures are also included on the acreage, suited to extra sleeping space, storage, or a workshop.

What to know before you call
This is one of the more move-in-ready, self-sufficiency-focused properties we’ve featured: a genuinely newer (2020) home, two wells, creek water rights, a 60x30 shop, and established garden infrastructure already in place, rather than something requiring major finishing work.
At 205 days on market, there’s likely meaningfully more room to negotiate than on a freshly listed property; worth raising directly with the agent. This is our first property in the Douglas City, California market. Anyone comparing it against other properties can see everything currently listed.
