Beautiful views of Black Butte Canyon and Covelo from the 2nd story deck of this lovely property. Great neighbors, a permitted well, a spring, large fenced and cross fenced garden areas and an attached shop area. There are two additional rooms downstairs that could be used as an office or storage room but would need closets to be considered bedrooms. The house is unpermitted, the seller started the permitting process but the buyer would have to finish it after closing escrow. The house needs a decent amount of work but it has a lot of potential. The property is about 40 minutes from downtown Covelo. It wont qualify for conventional financing in its current condition.
As the MLS and public records start to fill up, we'll list the details here.

RL
Rangeland District
This district is intended to create and preserve areas for (A) the grazing of livestock, (B) the production and harvest of natural resources, and (C) the protection of such natural resources as watershed lands from fire, pollution, erosion, and other detrimental effects. Processing of products produced on the premises would be permitted as would certain commercial activities associated with crop and animal raising. Typically the R-L District would be applied to lands for incorporation into Type H Agricultural Preserves, other lands generally in range use, and intermixed smaller parcels and other contiguous lands, the inclusion of which is necessary for the protection and efficient management of rangelands.
