Property Description

A rare opportunity to create a legacy estate in the California foothills. This vacant parcel covers about 51.23 acres (per assessor records) along the Highway 41 corridor in Coarsegold. It has rolling golden hills, scattered heritage oaks and long views across the Sierra foothills. Electricity is already on the lot. A natural artesian spring supplies water, and a small water hole stands ready for livestock. The land rises and falls, so there are several high points where a main residence could sit to catch the sunsets and open sky. There is also room for a guest house, a pool and entertaining terraces, horse facilities, a vineyard or a private ranch retreat. The parcel fronts Highway 41, on the scenic route between Fresno and Yosemite National Park, and Oakhurst and Bass Lake are close by.A land rich in history. For thousands of years, these hills were home to the Chukchansi people. Their bedrock grinding stones are still intact across the property, where acorns were once ground beneath the oaks. In 1849, prospectors found nuggets so large in a nearby creek that the town was named for them: Coarsegold. The stage and wagon roads that soon carried travelers through here to Yosemite became today's Highway 41. Land of this size, setting and history is rarely offered. The land is real; the vision is yours. Buyers should verify zoning, permitted uses, water rights and septic feasibility with Madera County.
