This off market deal is just off the 174, providing life in nature while only being a few minutes from downtown Grass Valley.  House has been well taken care of, so it’s possible to keep work on the interior of the home mostly cosmetic.  More importantly, there is no potable water on-site which will need to be remediated to get access to traditional financing.

Remediation Details:

• There is no potable source of water on the property.  Last tenants used drinking water delivery service.  There is NID ditch irrigation water being used for appliances etc.  There are multiple water storage tanks.
• We have made an oral agreement with the neighbor across the street to purchase an easement for the purpose of drilling a well for the exclusive use of this property.  The agreed upon compensation for the easement will be $3,000.  Peter’s Well & Drilling have sited the well and are securing a permit.  They are optimistic as the wells in the area are all very strong.  They estimate not needing to drill more than 100~125 ft before hitting substantial water.
• Septic tank has been pumped and inspected.  There are significant roots that have tapped into the inflow pipe, and less significant roots that are coming in the outflow.  The leach line tests were inconclusive, and the next step is to run a camera to ascertain what sort of condition they are in.  We think it is safe to assume those lines have significant root intrusion, but cannot suggest a remedy until the line has had a camera sent down it.
• There are some garbage/junk piles that will need to be hauled away.
• Multiple old pheasant/dove coops should probably be torn down.
• Back deck needs structural work.

If you are not discouraged by the well/septic situation, this is a great opportunity for you.  This is nicely placed just outside of town and will be easy to tenant.  It is at the end of a dead-end road provided a great deal of privacy.  The backyard has character and history and was at one point a well cared for sanctuary type garden.
