What is a "Generational Haven"?

In the serene landscapes of Shasta County lies a hidden gem for homeowners seeking to expand their family retreats without incurring additional taxes. The Rocky Ledge Subdivision allows property owners to build a second residence, lovingly dubbed the "Generational Haven," on each estate parcel.

  1. Embrace the Generational Haven Concept:
  2. Shasta County's forward-thinking approach enables homeowners to create a Generational Haven – a second residence tailored to provide privacy, comfort, and flexibility for family members. This thoughtful space accommodates loved ones during visits, recuperation from medical procedures, or a spontaneous getaway.
  3. The beauty of this opportunity lies in its tax-friendly nature. Property owners can add a second residence without triggering additional local taxes. This exceptional offering encourages families to invest in their legacy while securing additional space to cater to their unique needs.
  4. The Generational Haven is limited to 1,200 square feet of living space, ensuring harmony with the landscape and surrounding properties. However, there's no limit to the size of the garage or shop, as long as it aligns with the community's CC&R's (Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions) and building codes.
  5. Property owners need not worry about the design process. A curated selection of house plans is readily available, featuring 2 bedrooms and 2 baths, separated by a spacious great room and kitchen. Expansive patio decks add a touch of luxury, allowing families to bask in the beauty of the surrounding landscape while making cherished memories.
  6. Unlike the primary Private Resort Home, the Generational Haven cannot be rented for short-term stays. This restriction ensures the space remains private and exclusively available for the family's use. It's a sanctuary where family members can find solace, create unforgettable experiences, and support one another through various life events.


Shasta County's visionary approach to second residences in the Rocky Ledge Subdivision offers an unparalleled opportunity for homeowners to create their Generational Haven. With tax advantages, well-designed house plans, and a minimum rental period, families can cherish this private retreat, using it to bond with loved ones, rejuvenate after medical procedures, or enjoy spontaneous getaways. Embrace the Generational Haven concept and witness the birth of a cherished family sanctuary that will be cherished for generations to come.
