4 California Homes with Acreage, Views, and Updated Living

Set on a level, usable 12±-acre parcel along Albion Ridge Road in Albion, this one-of-a-kind multi-residential holding is defined as much by its scale as by its complexity. A main residence anchors the property, complemented by three additional occupied dwellings, numerous outbuildings, a greenhouse, and several unoccupied structures. All dwellings beyond the main house are unpermitted and have been cited by the Mendocino County Dept. of Planning & Building, with red-tag issues to be addressed through removal or bringing structures up to code. The sale includes tenants in place, except for one co-owner occupant. Utilities are in place, with all units connected to PG&E and heated by propane or wood. Court confirmation is required, offering a project-minded path to long-term value.
