Most 5 acre parcels have 300 feet of road frontage or less. Because this parcel runs along a ridgeline and drops off fairly steeply in the rear, the parcel was created to be long along the frontage (over 600 feet) and less deep (about 350 feet). The net effect is to create better separation from neighboring parcels and more useable land, which lies along the ridgeline. With its ridgeline setting, the parcel enjoys excellent views in three directions. The lot is slightly elevated above the road and has a great mix of mature oaks and some really nice rock formations. The lot does drop off rather steeply towards the rear providing a really nice bluff view to the east. There are two really nice potential building spots and there is plenty of room for additional buildings or other uses. Power is at the property line. AND... the seller is willing to carry paper for a qualified buyer.

Any negatives? The biggest is the last 1/4 mile or so into the property. It is paved but is in pretty rough condition. Still, it does discourage speeding. The property is in the southern portion of Squaw Valley about 9 miles form Hwy 180, so commute time will be a bit longer.

All in all, this is a very attractive property. The blend of elevated views, attractive rock formations, and the nice separation from neighbors offers a great site to build your new home. Plus, with the seller willing to carry, you can buy now and build later.
