1405 Audubon Rd is listed at $989,000 and it is, by any honest accounting, one of the most complete pieces of real estate currently available in Siskiyou County. Six bedrooms. Four full bathrooms. 4,021 square feet on 2.76 acres. The numbers alone are unusual for this market at this price. The aerial photograph makes the case the listing description can't: a mature pine canopy, Black Butte and Mount Shasta's snowcap visible above the treeline, and a property that reads, from the air, like it was placed there with some intention.
This is not a starter home. At 4,021 square feet with six bedrooms and four full baths, the scale is there for a family that actually needs it — not a floor plan that inflated its count with half-baths and converted closets. The 2.76-acre lot is large enough to create real separation between structures and real distance from neighbors. In Siskiyou County, that combination at sub-million pricing is the kind of alignment that doesn't stay on the market long.
What the House Actually Feels Like
The aerial and exterior photographs tell a consistent story: a well-maintained property on landscaped grounds, with a main structure that reads as a serious house rather than a weekend cabin scaled up. The interior images show a living and dining area with exposed wood beams, a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, hardwood floors, and a wall of grid windows pulling the tree canopy inside. The kitchen runs along a bank of windows with sage-green cabinetry. The front patio features river-rock walls stepping down to the yard, a Japanese maple at the entry, and a red front door that someone chose deliberately. These are details visible in the listing photographs — not specs from a data sheet.
Who This Property Is Actually For
Six bedrooms across 4,021 square feet on 2.76 acres works for a specific kind of buyer — and almost no one else.
The first is a multi-generational family that needs real square footage and real separation. Not a converted bonus room, but a house with enough bedrooms that nobody is doubling up unless they choose to.
The second is someone relocating from a California metro who wants scale, land, and distance from density built into the property from day one. If you've been reading about what it actually takes to move to Mount Shasta, a property at this size and acreage answers several of the harder logistical questions before you even ask them.
The third is a buyer who understands that 2.76 acres in this county, at this price point, with this much interior square footage, represents optionality. The land is there to use.
The Land Is the Argument
The aerial photograph does more work than any written description could. The property sits inside a mature ponderosa canopy. Black Butte and Mount Shasta's snowcap rise above the treeline. The irrigated lawn wraps the main structure. The driveway curves in off Audubon Rd cleanly. Nothing about this reads like a property that was neglected and then staged for photographs.
Mount Shasta's weather runs hard in both directions — deep winter snow, real summer heat — and a 2.76-acre parcel in this climate is a commitment, not a lifestyle accessory. Buyers who come to this market seriously understand that. The ones who do tend to stay.
The Real Reason It Pencils Out
At $989,000 for a 6-bedroom, 4-bath, 4,021-square-foot home on 2.76 acres in Siskiyou County, the per-square-foot math is not complicated. In any coastal California market, a house this size on land this generous costs multiples of the ask. That spread is the whole point of being here. The mountain doesn't adjust its price based on what's happening in San Francisco. This one is worth your serious attention.
This town rewards people who actually show up and commit to it. A property at this scale is the kind of stake in the ground that makes that commitment real.
