This is one of the most unusual & unique properties that we have ever offered...160 acres in a completely secluded wilderness setting that is bordered on 2 sides by the Sequoia National Forest. If you were looking for a larger property that provides absolute privacy from the world, look no further. And...this property has a few unusual bonuses, too!
The property ranges in elevation from 3,700 feet to over 5,000 feet. Access is provided by a 1/2 mile easement road from the county road to the property boundary. Terrain varies from areas of nearly level land to steep and rugged hillsides and valleys. Some areas have dense coverages of mature cedars, pines, and black oaks. There are also broad areas of mountain chapparel and manzanita. There are two streams running through the property, one of which could be classified as year-round.

The property has an old homestead...of sorts. Built in 1935, it still stands but it really is mostly a shell. Still, it is testimony to the efforts of the pioneering family that built it...the family that owns it yet today. And, the property has electricity running through it. In fact, there is a pole adjacent to the home although it was never connected.
This property is truly a piece of local history... an absolute step back in time to days gone by. This would be a great family heritage property... something to pass on to future generations. Here is a place to hunt, recreate, and just get away from the craziness of the world.
We always talk about the negative features and there are a few. It is a 1/2 mile in on a fairly primitive easement road. But, the road has been recently rebuilt and is pretty good condition. Still, while some 2 wheel drives might make it, a 4 wheel drive will probably be the vehicle of choice. The property has an unusual configuration and ready access is pretty much limited to the first 40 acres. There is about 5 acres of excellent terrain around the old homestead but much of it needs brushing. Could the home be reclaimed? Yes, but get ready for a whole lot of work. Is there a well? No, water was pumped from the creek to a holding tank on the second floor of the home and gravity fed from there.
This is a true piece of California history... a primitive homestead carved out of the wilderness in the early 1900's. The ultimate in seclusion, it teems with wildlife and offers the opportunity to commune with nature and shake off the dust of civilization.
Here's the deal...the property is very well priced but it is cash only. The seller will not carry paper. Showings will be appointment only to prospective buyers who have provided evidence of their capacity to purchase. Please dress accordingly...pants and boots, yes...high heels and skirts, no. I promise you won't be disappointed with what you see.
