573 Elk Valley, Crescent City, Ca 95531

Property Description

What you see is what you get. No smoke and mirrors—just an opportunity that's getting harder to find. Two fixer-uppers, a quality shop with a half bath, and over an acre of private ground with Manufacturing/Industrial zoning just minutes from some of Crescent City's most desirable destinations. The location is surprisingly convenient. You're less than a mile from the marina, farmers market, restaurants, and shopping. South Beach is just over a mile away, and in about two miles you'll be entering the towering old-growth redwoods of Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park. The main home offers 1,072 square feet and was lived in until the owners recently moved out. The second home measures 966 square feet and will require more renovation, but the possibilities are there. The 888-square-foot shop was built in 2004 on a concrete slab, includes a half bath, and appears ready to keep working. One feature that really stands out is what's underneath the main home. The approximately 5- to 6-foot crawl space isn't the typical dark, cramped crawl space. It's tall enough to comfortably inspect the framing and subfloor, giving buyers confidence in what they're purchasing. The framing appears to be rough-cut old-growth redwood with true-dimension 2x4s and 2x6s—a reminder of how homes from this era were often built. The elevated post-and-pier design also creates room for two low-profile garage spaces beneath the house. Despite being in a primarily industrial area, the land itself feels surprisingly private and has the makings of a hidden oasis. Whether you're looking for a place to live, work, invest, or combine all three, the property's flexible Manufacturing/Industrial zoning opens the door to a wide range of possibilities. Properties like this aren't for everyone. They're for someone who can see beyond what's here today and recognize what it could become.--
