Volcano, CA 95689

Extensively remodeled in 1994 and beyond! Set in the heart of historic Volcano, this extraordinary property offers a rare opportunity to own a preserved piece of Gold Rush history, thoughtfully reimagined for modern living. Known as the former Bavarian Brewery, this remarkable residence dates back over 150 years. Protected by its original 24-inch-thick stone walls, iron shutters & enduring craftsmanship emerging today as a truly one-of-a-kind home. Lovingly held by the same family for over six decades, the property blends historic character with carefully integrated upgrades & expanded living spaces. The original stone brewery now serves as a dramatic living/family room, where natural insulation from the thick walls provides year-round comfort. Step inside, a thoughtfully designed layout unfolds across approximately 3,100 square feet, including 2 bedrooms, 2 full baths, a dedicated office or den with additional guest accommodation & multiple flexible living areas. The home's evolution has been guided with intention - retaining historic elements such as the original iron doors & stonework, while incorporating warm wood interiors, expansive windows & seamless indoor-outdoor flow. The kitchen & dining areas open to a private backyard setting, where large windows invite in natural light and views of the surrounding landscape. Distinctive design influences, including subtle Japanese-inspired elements, add a layer of artistry & tranquility throughout the living spaces. Modern systems & amenities support comfortable, efficient living, including dual-zone HVAC, multiple heating options, tankless water heaters, and a whole-house generator. The attached carport with EV charging capability & covered access enhances functionality, while and an additional outbuilding provides storage & utility. The outdoor environment is equally compelling and designed for both beauty & sustainability. Mature landscaping, seasonal blooms, and a whimsical garden setting create a peaceful retreat, complemented by stone pathways and curated plantings that evolve throughout the year. The property offers a rare level of flexibility, opening the door to a variety of potential uses, whether as a distinctive live/work environment, an inspired business setting, or a private retreat rooted in rich local history. Rich in provenance, architectural integrity, and possibility, the Bavarian Brewery residence is more than a home, it is a legacy property ready for its next chapter.
