Property Description

*THREE PARCELS, 55+ ACRES, A SPRING-FED CREEK & POTENTIAL OWNER FINANCING!* Here's an opportunity for those who crave wide-open spaces, rugged terrain, adventure and a little solitude in the Sierra Nevada foothills! Tucked away in the hills approximately 20+ minutes above Oroville, this offering includes THREE separate parcels totaling approximately 55.02 acres, with elevations ranging from roughly 2,440 to 3,000 feet. AP#062-400-024 (9.4± acres) zoned FR5, AP#062-400-025 (9.42± acres) zoned FR5 and AP#062-400-038 (36.2± acres) zoned FR40. One of the property's most intriguing features is Galen Creek, winding through the ravines of the two smaller parcels, fed by natural springs and seasonal runoff. Imagine exploring your own creek beds, searching for traces of gold in this historically rich region, or simply escaping the hustle and bustle to enjoy the sounds of nature while hawks soar overhead and deer dart through the underbrush of what remains! Whether your interests include hunting, recreational target shooting where legally permitted, prospecting, hiking or establishing a secluded recreational getaway, this land offers plenty to spark the imagination. Previously heavily wooded and impacted by the 2020 Bear Fire, the landscape is experiencing natural regrowth, with abundant standing and fallen timber offering a lifetime supply of firewood resources. A previously existing, unpermitted residence was reportedly lost to fire. Interestingly, county records indicate a well was permitted in 2014, reportedly encountering water at approximately 171 feet with an estimated yield of 17 GPM! Whether the well remains usable or even intact is unknown and not guaranteed due to property overgrowth, but could be an exciting discovery for the right buyer. Access is via rural dirt roads a few miles beyond pavement off Galen Ridge Road, adding to the property's remote character. Legal access is currently being investigated through title work and is NOT guaranteed. The land is rugged, overgrown and ready for someone with vision, determination and a taste for adventure. **POTENTIAL SELLER FINANCING** may be available with a substantial down payment and mutually negotiated terms. Three parcels, creek frontage, historic gold country and over 55 acres of foothill wilderness. Opportunities like this invite you to think beyond the ordinary! Contact your agent for all details. Buyer should independently verify access, water, permitted uses, property conditions and all information.
