Here is a pleasant low cost home, right in Garberville!

This is a pleasant 2 bedroom home, with a garage conversion to a third bedroom. This single level home, has a nice large backyard, on a quiet street, yet close to shopping, restaurants and the town square.

I love Southern Humboldt! I love the rivers and creeks. The jagged hills and sloping valleys. The winter rain and cold. And I especially love the long warm summer days. For these reasons, and many others, I love living here, and recommend it to everyone.

However, to own property here means to deal with whether there is enough water at the end of summer. To navigate today’s more aggressive planning, building, and code enforcement divisions, to navigate what the environmental health department requires, and much more. This can be out of reach for most buyers and sellers.
I have been resolving these issues for myself and my clients for over 30 years now, and I would be pleased to assist you as well!

We entered the wet weather test period for new on site sewage systems last week, it typically will extend for a few months. So if you want to get a permit for a new home this is one key step, and now is the time! Thanks, Jayme

The Humboldt County Division of Environmental Health (DEH) has extended the dry weather test period for evaluation of water quantity supplies for proposed subdivisions and residential construction.
The test period will be extended through Sunday, Oct. 15, or following the first rainfall event totaling over 0.5 inches within 24 hours, whichever occurs earlier.
As Southern Humboldt’s own Less Schure points out in his excellent book, Buying and Finding your Place in the Country, if one can, one should observe a property for sale for an entire year. That way one may see how the flow of water is in the summer, how much sun exposure there is in the winter. There are also other time of year related issues such as for the planning of the on site sewage systems, some areas require soil testing during the “wet-weather test period”, other areas do not.
Given most transactions take place over a period of less than 3 months, there are some things one can do to compensate for this difficulty. Other times it will be necessary to build into the purchase agreement an extended time frame to determine the suitability of the property.
If you are wondering about these or other property related issues, give me a call, I can often help, and when I can’t, I can help you find out!

And here is more information on the counties dry weather test period…...

Sept. 29, 2023 - Dry weather test period extended
The Humboldt County Department of Health & Human Services Division of Environmental Health (DEH) has extended the dry weather test period for evaluation of water quantity supplies for proposed subdivisions and residential construction.
The test period will be extended through Sunday, Oct. 15, or following the first rainfall event totaling over 0.5 inches within 24 hours, whichever occurs earlier.
All parties anticipating subdividing land, developing an accessory dwelling unit or developing parcels located within the coastal zone, utilizing on-site water supplies (e.g. wells, springs) to serve an individual dwelling unit or up to four connections, should contact a qualified consultant to arrange for testing. The applicant’s agent must certify that at least 720 gallons of water per day for each residence can be produced during the dry weather test period.
Additional information regarding water quantity testing and water production test procedures can be obtained by calling DEH at 707-445-6215 or 800-963-9241. Water production standards and test procedures are also available at DEH’s webpage at: https://humboldtgov.org/DocumentCenter/View/98439/Water-Production-Standards-and-Test-Procedures-PDF

It is a buyer's real estate market in Southern Humboldt. However, many properties have complications to consider.

Real estate purchase agreements advise the buyer to investigate everything promptly. When there is a significant problem with the property, it is better to find out sooner than later, before one is contractually committed to the property.

Rural property often has a great many things to find out about. And unless one has skill in this sort of investigation, many important things are often overlooked.

For people who use me as their agent, I offer my 40 years of Humboldt County rural property experience, a background in permit processing, and my 20 years as a CA-licensed real estate broker, to assist you in learning about the property you are considering buying.

If you are planning to buy or sell, call for a free consultation. If there are code violations or permit issues, I may be able to assist with this as well.

Thank you!
