At the center of nearly one-square mile of 10-160 acre parcels, a few seasonal cabins on east slope, this 80-acre parcel is the only one with level areas for improvements in both the valley and at ridge top, with potential for constructing a connecting road on site!

At the center of nearly one-square mile of 10-160 acre parcels, a few seasonal cabins on east slope, this 80-acre parcel is the only one with level areas for improvements in both the valley and at ridge top, with potential for constructing a connecting road on site! Bounded by cattle fences (zoom in on terrain map), west fence follows steep fire road, top of ridge south fence gate on right of way easement accesses graded homestead area partially fenced and secured with steel gate about 600 feet south of north boundary (see images). In the valley, an intermittent stream crosses the southeast corner (mid-Section 10 corner monument), about 300 feet from east fence gate with level trail to South Hollow Road.
Monsoonal summer and winter snow storms sustain a bio-diverse ecosystem from valley of wildflower and grasses to scrub and junipers at higher elevations, supporting an abundance of wildlife. Ground water available but mineral and water rights reserved, adjacent parcel has water rights, and there is a wildlife reservoir in valley preserve and public reservoir at north base of ridge.
Drawn boundaries on images and maps are an approximation. Under Files are Record of Survey for parcel to north, Google Earth images, USPLS and USGS, County parcel maps and trail maps. Zoned Agricultural, Parcel No. 11203x.
At north entrance to Twelve-Mile Wildlife Management Area, enter Order Canyon on South Hollow Road. Stay to the right entering dense shrub (to left are wildlife reservoir and recreational trails). South Hollow Road reconnects south of second loop, about 300 feet to west is Southeast property corner monument at fence corner (mid-Section 10). Looking north up on ridge is exposed white shale area, approximate north boundary about 1500-feet. There are numerous trails to the top, recommended route: continue south on South Hollow, south of last cabin on east slope, through cattle grate, take first right to begin gentle ascent to steep/narrow lose shale of about 100-feet. At ridge top turn right, second open cattle gate is south boundary, north of northernmost cabin.
Refer to interactive map for recommended trail to top of ridge (green), watch video of descent from south end of ridge (steep shale), request Google Map GPS pin points for route and other points of interest.
