The Eagles Nest Communications Site presents a rare opportunity to acquire a fee-simple, income-producing telecommunications asset in Northern California. Situated on 8.32 elevated acres in Cottonwood (Tehama County), this property includes a 115-foot engineered lattice tower, 2,400 sq ft reinforced telecom facility, dedicated PG & E power infrastructure, and secured compound. Originally developed as part of the AT & T Long Lines network, the site was engineered for high-capacity microwave transmission, superior wind loading, and long-term operational reliability, making it highly attractive for modern telecom, broadband, and infrastructure users. The property is currently leased to two telecom tenants, producing stable baseline income, while maintaining significant remaining tower and ground capacity for additional lease-up. Version 2 for residential/vacant land: Set high above the valley floor on 8.32 private acres, this extraordinary offering presents a rare blend of investment-grade infrastructure and breathtaking Northern California landscape. With sweeping, unobstructed views that stretch for miles, the setting evokes a sense of scale, privacy, and possibility that is increasingly difficult to find. Originally part of the historic AT & T Long Lines network, the property features a 115-foot telecommunications tower and a substantial 2,400 sq ft engineered building, thoughtfully positioned on the land. Today, the site quietly generates passive income through existing telecom leases, creating a unique opportunity to own a property that performs while you envision its future. Beyond its current use, the acreage offers compelling potential--whether as a private estate site, legacy landholding, or dual-purpose investment. The elevated topography captures panoramic vistas of the surrounding valley and distant mountain ranges, delivering unforgettable sunsets and a sense of complete retreat. Existing dedicated power and fencing, offering a valuable head start for future development. The parcel is surrounded by land held in land trusts ensuring privacy for the future. This is more than land--it is a strategic asset with both present income and future vision. A place where privacy, scale, and long-term value intersect.
