PROPERTY DESCRIPTION:

Welcome to the Starlight Ranch, a 74-acre retreat on the Klamath River, in far northern California!  This 2720 sq.ft. cedar home offers 2 bedrooms and 2 baths as well as an office.  The open concept kitchen/dining/living room opens out to the huge back deck with a hot tub and overlooks the river.  The upstairs consists of private master suite, with bathroom and closet.  There is also an aviary, screened in side porch, and a large art or entertainment room that is plumbed for a possible bar and looks out over the river.  An attached two car garage plus two car carport and woodshed provide lots of storage.  Outside, the classic front porch looks out on a large lawn and the lane leading into the woods where endless outdoor adventures await.  From steps down to the river, to camp fire rings, to trails winding through the woods there are plenty of activities to keep you busy.  If the search for gold is your calling, you will enjoy the mining and dredging rights in this historical part of California.  The property is surrounded by public land for ultimate privacy and recreational opportunities including a boat launch site and sandy beach, otherwise only accessible to the public by boat.  Wildlife in the area includes elk, bear, deer and turkeys, and this portion of the river is a popular fishing spot with local guides.

The town of Happy Camp, located in the heart of gold county, was originally named by miners, but is also known as “The Heart of the Klamath” and the "Gateway to the Marbles”.   Happy Camp has a population of 1,190 people and is on the "Bigfoot Scenic Byway," an 89-mile stretch of California State Route 96.  Reflecting this fun tradition, the town is home to an 18ft-tall Bigfoot statue, made out of recycled metal, and the annual Bigfoot Jamboree. The Klamath River flows 257 miles through Oregon and northern California, emptying into the Pacific Ocean. By average discharge, the Klamath is the second largest river in California after the Sacramento River.  The Marble Mountains cover thousands of acres and contain almost a hundred lakes. There are many trail heads for this Wilderness Area within 10 miles of the town. The Pacific Crest Trails passes through the Marbles.  Among the most interesting lakes is Spirit Lake, which contains a luminescent chemical and has been seen to "glow" in the dark.  This area is an outdoor recreational paradise if you love hiking, fishing, hunting, gold panning, riding and more.
