37.2 remote acres with stupendous picture framed views of Lake Shasta and Mount Shasta! There is an awesome seasonal waterfall on the property! This property would make a great weekend get-away or bug out spot. While on the land, a Bald Eagle even flew overhead. This property is fortified with a large shed and an unfinished shell that looks like a cabin on the outside. The shed is 12x24 and built around 2015. The shell structure is 14x40 and built in around 2009. These are not livable structures and given no value. The value is in the land and the amazing views. There are no permits for these structures and there is no well, septic, power or solar on the property. There is room for RV parking. There is some interesting history in the matter that our 30th president, Calvin Coolidge who served from 1923 to 1929 reserved in patent #941271 the mineral rights of this property. The elevation ranges from about 1450 ft to 1620 ft. The property is 4 miles on a dirt road from paved Hwy 299E and the road has seen recent maintenance work but a high ground clearance vehicle is still recommended. It's about 20 miles from Redding, CA at I-5. There are 10 items listed as CCRS from 2003. Lake Shasta is just over 1 mile away as the Bald Eagle flies. Owner financing may be available.
