Overview
Description
Supplements: ... (Read more) Set among towering redwoods with sweeping valley, forest, and ridgeline views, 95 Hilltop Lane in Blue Lake offers a rare retreat-style setting designed for privacy, comfort, recreation, security, and indoor-outdoor living. From the moment you arrive through the electric gate, the property feels peaceful and intentional, with landscaped pathways, curated hardscape, exterior lighting, a running water feature, manicured trees, and multiple gathering areas that make the home feel like a private resort. The home has a warm, refined lodge-style feel with antique hardwood floors custom milled from wood dating back more than 150 years and sourced from the East Coast. Custom lighting, stone accents, barn doors, wood details, generous living areas, and large windows create a rich yet comfortable setting that connects naturally to the surrounding redwoods and outdoor living spaces. The kitchen is beautifully finished with white cabinetry, a large center island, tile backsplash, pendant lighting, generous counter space, and premium Wolf cooking appliances that elevate the space beyond ordinary stainless finishes. A built-in Wolf warm beverage maker adds another layer of everyday luxury. The nearby dining and living areas flow naturally to patios, decks, and covered outdoor spaces, making the home ideal for everyday living, holidays, and larger-scale entertaining. An immersive indoor/outdoor surround sound system extends the entertainment experience from the main living areas to the outdoor gathering spaces. Enjoy music on the patios, game day under the covered pavilion, outdoor dinners, movie nights, parties, or quiet evenings with sound flowing naturally inside and out. Multiple living spaces provide flexibility for family, guests, work, hobbies, media, and extended stays. The primary suite feels like a private retreat of its own, with warm wood flooring, a distinctive decorative ceiling treatment, spacious bedroom area, walk-in closet, wood stove, and an impressive ensuite bath with dual vanities and a large tiled shower. Additional bedrooms and baths offer practical flexibility while maintaining the home's warm, cohesive character. Outdoor living is where this property truly shines. Expansive patios, view decks, lawn areas, and covered gathering spaces surround the home, creating multiple places to relax, dine, entertain, and enjoy the setting. The covered outdoor kitchen and lounge area features exposed timber framing, Wolf outdoor cooking appliances, built-in prep and bar space, comfortable gathering areas, lighting, and beautiful views through the trees. The grounds are designed for both relaxation and recreation, with a fenced sport court, bocce court, turf recreation area, trampoline/play area, landscaped pathways, rock features, lawn space, and multiple seating areas tucked among the redwoods. Every tree on the property has been intentionally manicured for health, purpose, and presentation, giving the entire setting a polished, cared-for feel. The property also offers practical and lifestyle features that are difficult to duplicate, including parking for 30+ vehicles, a full-property camera system, metal roof, copper gutters, on-demand hot water, and extensive custom drainage improvements throughout the property. A fenced approximately 1-acre lower pasture area with horse shelter/stall provides added flexibility for buyers who may want room for a horse, hobby use, or a more expansive country-estate lifestyle. Every part of this property feels intentional: morning coffee by the water feature, sunsets through the trees, outdoor dinners under the pavilion, games on the court, music flowing inside and out, quiet walks through the landscaped grounds, and peaceful moments surrounded by redwoods. This is more than a home; it is a private Blue Lake retreat built for connection, comfort, recreation, entertaining, security, and memorable Humboldt living.
