All of the improvements are located close to the road. The shop is a steel quonset style in excellent condition. It has a bath, sink, and shower. The frontage is fenced with some great landscape trees including Giant Sequoias, cedars, Stone Pine, Alleppo pine, Pistache, Coastal Redwood, Bradford pears, alders, and Joseph Coat climbing roses. An RV hookup has been set up alongside the shop (yes, the trailer in the picture is included)and there is some nice yard area around the shop. There are also some terrific and massive rock formations. From the shop, you have a fabulous view of the San Joaquin Valley. All of this would make the property well worth the price but there is much more to talk about.

This is one of the most private spots in all of Squaw Valley and this is one of the largest parcels...20.5 acres. The cul-de-sac road ends at the property. The property is nearly level at this point and then slopes fairly steeply down. To the naked eye, it looks like nothing more than the typical hillside parcel...one with very little useable land. But, there is something hidden from view...an absolute wealth of nearly level and parklike land in the bottom 2/3's of the property. Yes, it does drop steeply, but then it levels out and opens up into some of the prettiest and most private land on the entire mountain. And, there are at least 3 springs that flow during even the driest of years. This area is absolutely amazing...we are talking at least 7 acres of absolute paradise...your own private refuge completely hidden from the world. The property backs up to a 500 acre ranch and the adjacent lot has already been developed in a spot that is well away from this area. You will have the ultimate in privacy and the chance to be one with nature...and nature is here. Plan to see bobcats, deer, racoons, wild turkey, and much more.

OK, so what's the catch? There's got to be something wrong with this picture. All of this for only $110,000? There has to be some downsides. And, in fact, there are. First, the area at the road with the shop is really nice but it is not very large. It would be difficult to build a house here without quite a bit of earthmoving to enlarge the pad area. Second, you have this amazing area at the bottom of the property but there isn't any road to it. So there's the catch...you need to build a road. It is very feasible but it won't be cheap. On the other hand, once it's in you have the best spot on the mountain in your grasp. Third, the property is fairly isolated. The roads to the property are all nicely paved but are pretty winding in places. Travel time from Hwy 180 is about 12 minutes. That really is it for negatives.

This isn't your run of the mill property. It truly is one of the most unique parcels on the mountain...a great combination of quality land, year round water, and an unmatched level of complete and total privacy. This is the kind of seclusion that people dream about but rarely ever find. You just have to see it to believe it.

We are very proud to represent this property and look forward to showing it to you. But, be warned...it takes some effort to see it. Don't come up here without boots. And...the price is the price.
