**OPEN HOUSE Sunday 29th 1:00-3:00** Set on over 4.5 acres, this rare retreat captures sweeping panoramas of Humboldt Bay and offers an incredible blend of privacy, versatility, and timeless charm. Down the private driveway lies your Humboldt hideaway, named ''Snug Harbor'' by physician/surgeon Dr. John R. Chain Sr. who built the house in 1939. The main residence features 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, where thoughtful improvements meet classic character. Big ticket upgrades include a new roof and gutters, a new furnace, and water heater, and a freshly painted interior. Throughout the home, beautiful hardwood floors, vintage artisan hardware, and distinctive architectural details preserve the warmth and charm that make this property special. Expansive bay-facing windows frame the ever-changing views of Humboldt Bay, while a large deck overlooks the one-acre pasture below--perfect for horses. It's an inviting space to relax, entertain, and take in stunning sunsets or moonrises. Additionally, the property includes two other houses--a cottage and a studio apartment plus an attached art-studio with its own entrance. The cottage is a beautifully refreshed 2-bedroom, 1-bath and vaulted ceiling living room. Wisteria vines cover the porch and a cozy deck overlooks a small fenced yard and the pasture below. Panoramic bay views can be enjoyed from its deck, kitchen and bedroom. Recent upgrades include a new water heater and heating system, new flooring, modern lighting and a newly painted interior. The large studio apartment includes an entry deck, main room, kitchen, and bathroom w/ shower. All windows are western facing offering abundant natural light, and Humboldt Bay views. Recent upgrades include a new roof and chimney for the wood burning stove, and newer wooden flooring. Attached to the the apartment studio, with its own entrance, is a charming art studio, complete with its own bathroom + shower, kitchenette, mini-loft, vaulted ceilings, and a wood burning stove--an inspiring space to create, work, or retreat. Recent upgrades include a freshly painted ceiling, a new roof and chimney. Together, these three homes and an art studio create a highly unique and flexible layout, ideal for multi-generational living, rental income potential, guest accommodations, or extra space for your visitors to share your private slice of paradise. All the residences are set in the center of the property surrounded by mature gardens with privacy hedges, extended lawns, apple and plum trees, wild rose vines, and a rhododendron garden. Beyond the homes and gardens, the land itself is just as inspiring. The upper portion of the property offers two acres of tranquil forested sanctuary, while the one acre lower pasture (newly fenced with a run-in shelter and adjoining storage room) opens up endless possibilities from gardening and hobby farming, to anything you envision. A unique opportunity to own a remarkable Humboldt Hill estate that incorporates privacy, space, views, versatility, and value, "Snug Harbor" is on the market for the first time since 1969, and is poised for her next chapter.
