The lane narrows, the city falls away behind you, and over three acres opens up along Churn Creek -- oaks, water, birdsong, and a Gorgeous Tudor Style Story book home standing in the middle of it all like the opening page of a story someone has already been writing for you. Five minutes away is a city, a freeway on-ramp, and a full array of incredible Redding area indoor and outdoor activities. You would never guess it from the privacy and solitude of this stunning property. Whether you are looking for a spacious multi-generational family estate or a beautiful and unique income property, this could be just what you have been waiting for.

Roughly four thousand square feet of Tudor Home remodeled in 2012 and again in 2016, holding five guest rooms -- each one different, each one with its own natural-stone en suite bath, and the flagship room boasting a massive custom bathroom complete with a copper tub that guests photograph before they unpack. Downstairs, a kitchen, dining room, and living room built for warmth & togetherness; upstairs, a sitting room built for reading, movies, and relaxing. The private guest house sits behind the inn, tucked into the trees where the creek does its best work. Remodeled in 2012, three bedrooms and two baths, with slate and pebble showers, black soapstone kitchen counters, a farm sink, and white soft-close cabinetry. Enjoy elegant nine-foot ceilings, crown molding, with hardwood underfoot. The living and dining windows are large on purpose -- they exist so that you can stand there with a cup of coffee and watch deer come down to drink. Over fifty species of birds have been counted on this property. Along with foxes, river otters, and the occasional beaver. There is a home theater for the nights you want the world small, and a jacuzzi for the nights you want it warm. The grounds are the part no photograph has ever fully captured. Manicured gardens give way to the creek, trees, and peace. Multiple seating areas look out over the water. Two fountains run day and night. Patios, gardens, and off-street parking enough that no one has to think about it.And it already works to near perfection. Hope Inn is a permitted, operating bed and breakfast and the top-rated accommodation in the region -- a distinction earned one guest at a time, and one that shows up in a return-guest rate most innkeepers only talk about. It was featured in Enjoy Magazine in 2023 and on HGTV's House Hunters in 2024. It comes with its website and branding intact, ResNexus reservations with a channel manager already feeding it from Google, Expedia, Booking.com and the rest, WiFi locks that issue every guest their own code at booking, and an email-and-text communication system that helps make managing reservations problem free and ensures guests have an amazing experience. Turn the key and it runs. Financials available to qualified buyers on request.Where this home sits is the last thing, and it may be the most important piece. Redding is a beautiful, growing Northern California city with world-class fishing at the front door and Lake Shasta, Mt. Shasta, Whiskeytown Lake, Burney Falls, and Lassen Volcanic National Park spread out within an hour drive.Two homes. One creek. A Multi-generational home that is your personal oasis, or a business with a reputation you could not build with money, only with years of excellence. The rest of the story is yours to write...
