“We’ve put our heart and soul into enhancing this town with the hopes of residing there one day. However due to personal family commitments, we are no longer able to move to Bridgeville.”
    -Quote from current owner

Drive through redwood-studded valleys along scenic country highways and come to history-rich Bridgeville, where you will enjoy 83 acres of lush, green hillsides, a roaring river, swimming holes, sweeping mountain views, warm sunshine and extensive riverfront acreage. This outstanding property includes houses, cabins and commercial buildings with established rental income.

• 83 acres of riverfront real estate which can be developed in its entirety or can be split into individual parcels to be sold separately by new owner at a later date.
• Bridgeville topography ranges from flat grasslands along the river to hillside grazing land. All of the parcels except three have river frontage.
• Seven houses currently used as rentals, each approximately 600 – 800 s.f.
• One main house which sits on 1.6 hilltop acres with spectacular views – 1,200 s.f.
• Four cabins, each approximately 250 – 400 s.f.
• Machine Shop (vacant)
• Cafe currently vacant and approximately 500 s.f.
• Functioning Post Office which has been in operation for 136 years at approximately 500 s.f.
• One wooden building approximately 1,500 s.f.
• Two quonset huts approximately 800 - 1,200 s.f.
• Nine individual parcels range from .5 to 35 acres. The value of the parcels individually may very well be worth more than the whole.

The value of the parcels individually may very well be worth more than the whole. Or you could recreate your own working town complete with revenue in place of approximately $5,350 per month from the occupied rental houses and the post office and the potential for over $7,000/month in rental income with the existing buildings that are there. If you build more buildings the potential for income is much greater.

The zoning for all nine parcels within the Bridgeville purchase is “Unclassified,” which opens the possibility to do practically anything you wish with this property. The General Plan land use designation is Community Commercial Zone which is broadly interpreted to include most rural commercial uses including commercial recreation activities. Permitted uses include: stores, light commercial, antique shops, galleries, markets, restaurants, warehouses, hotels, motels, manufactured home parks, social halls, clubs, professional and business offices and residential development.

This truly is beautiful country, just outside of the fog zone where the majestic “old growth redwoods” stand. One of the most wonderful things about this property, aside from the mere fact that you own over a mile of river frontage on the Van Duzen River (one of the last Wild and Scenic, undammed rivers in California) is the weather. When coastal Humboldt County is engulfed in fog and damp weather, the sun is typically shining in Bridgeville.

Bridgeville is comfortably nestled just east of the California Redwoods of Northern California. Set alongside the pristine Van Dusen river, Bridgeville provides an exquisite escape from the pollution, traffic, noise, and hurried pace of big cities.

Bridgeville is approximately 26 miles east of Fortuna on Highway 36 (a very good road) and approximately 45 miles south-east of Eureka, the capital of Humboldt County.

Not far from Bridgeville, you will find a variety of intriguing tourist attractions such as the Humboldt Redwoods State Park, the historic seaport town of Eureka, the rugged Lost Coast of Humboldt County, and the charming rural town of Ferndale, as well as Ruth Lake, Mount Shasta, and Lake Shasta.

The commercial airport is the Arcata/Eureka (ACV) Airport located approximately 60 miles northwest of Bridgeville. United Airlines and Alaska Airlines feature direct flights daily from Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland, and Seattle.
