5 Northern California Retreats from Mt. Shasta to Ukiah

Set on 6.70 acres at the southwest flank of Mt. Shasta, The Mt. Shasta Villa offers a quiet retreat in Historic Siskiyou County, just three miles west of town. The turnkey compound includes a custom designed home, a detached garage, and a second ADU, all oriented to take in spectacular views. Two contiguous parcels front Wyehka Way, with convenient, well-maintained paved access that keeps daily arrivals easy. The gently sloped land spans roughly 3,505′ to 3,640′ in elevation and is defined by lush conifer and other tree cover, creating a sense of privacy without feeling remote. Adjacent to the Siskiyou Land Trust on the north and west, it sits at the base of one of the country’s most iconic peaks, with wilderness and recreation woven into everyday life.
