Notes
- Although we are a 30 acre parcel with over 12 eateries and super market within 5 miles, the closest neighbor by sight is well across our creek filled canyon. We guarantee that you will only hear nature sounds with sunning water that sounds like you could be at the ocean, possibly lambs calling for their moms from the sheep ranch across the canyon and maybe the sounds of birds of prey that soar in circles above the canyon. With a short, but middle challenging trek, you will have access to our beach area at the creek with a swimming hole, deck, floatation devices, a 32 ft Winnebago camper with electricity, water and bathroom. (See photos in the listing). If you come with your own 4 wheel drive or request your hosts to provide transportation, you can drive the 1/2 mile distance to the beach. Additionally, there are several hiking paths along the tops of the remains of historic irrigation ditches for you to stroll through the woods.

About Danny Estin
We first moved to Nevada County in 1975 to open a group home for delinquent children. We are former educators who have recently retired from our 15 year teaching jobs at the International School of Bangkok. Although we have owned this 30 acre property for nearly 30 years, we only recently have built our home here. Joanie and Danny are high school sweethearts who have been together for 52 years. Our 34 year daughter lives in Seville, Spain and our 32 year old son resides in Bangkok, Thailand. They say our exposing them to the overseas' life has turned them into international citizens.
Danny Estin purchased this House in 1989
Why Danny Estin chose Penn Valley
For the 30 years of owning this property we knew that we would eventually build a home here. This was the plan even during our 15 years teaching in Thailand. Every summer we would come back to our home across the highway from this property, but open a lot of time at the creek. We put in a well, road and built a deck near the water decades before ever moving here.
What makes this House unique
Clearly, the most compelling feature of this home is the location, location, location. Although we are 5 minutes by car from the super market, within 5 miles of 14 eating establishments and 15 minutes from Grass Valley, once on our 30 acre property, you get the sense of calm that comes from the sight and sounds you experience from the creek and waterfall's natural tones. Going to sleep with the windows open feel and sound like you are at the ocean listening to lapping waves. Along this same nature describing thought, many of our guests spend a good part of the day going down to our year round creek complete with beaches, swimming hole, sun deck, trails and hammocks.
