The Diggins, a contemporary dwelling less than 5 minutes from downtown Nevada City by car or a 15 minute walk has everything you need for the perfect getaway. Owned by long time Nevada City residents based in the arts and architecture, the place is filled with art, books, and modern accessories and includes a gas fireplace, full kitchen w/dishwasher, living room, two bedroom, two bath, laundry & a big outdoor patio. Perfect for two couples or a family of four or a visiting artist/professional.
The space
The Diggins is a separate dwelling unit on a 2 acre property where full time residents live in the main house. The property has 5 different species of oak trees, mature gardens and plenty of parking. The dwelling, designed by the resident who is a longtime architectural designer, boasts curved walls, natural light, a great room with a wall of windows that can be shuttered for privacy and a patio with dining and seating areas with a gas fire pit to enjoy the wonderful weather and all the seasons. The Diggins is equipped with high speed Starlink Wi-Fi, a smart TV in the primary bedroom and a desk in the second bedroom for those who need to work while they are visiting. Also includes washer/dryer, two bedrooms and two bathrooms, full kitchen including a dishwasher. A great place for a writer's retreat or if you are in town for one of our many film and music festivals too. Less than one hour to skiing, 5 minutes from downtown Nevada City and 20 minutes to the Yuba river, the property also has access to public walking and mountain bike trails.
Guest access
Guests will have private access to the two bedroom, two bathroom apartment with parking in front of the dwelling. We also have a custom designed trailer with a queen size bed. Please email directly for more information.
Other things to note
This is our family home and while we are now mostly empty nesters, friends and family do come and go. If you want total privacy or to be secluded in the forest, this is not the place for you. If you want to be close to town, appreciate contemporary architecture and art and modern accessories and want to hear more about the community and places to eat, shop, walk, hike, ride or see a show, we are your perfect hosts! There are two queen beds, a chair that folds into a single bed for a child with a guest provided sleeping bag in the main bedroom and a queen size blow up mattress available upon request that can be set up in the livingroom. We also have a pack and play.
