5.35 acres beside Lost Mine Lake, with no HOA dues. If you've been looking for room to breathe in Nevada City, come walk this surveyed corner parcel in Cascade Shores. Ponderosa pines, quartz-studded gravels, historic mining banks, and a seasonal low area that draws wildlife give the property a sense of place you can't capture from the road. The parcel adjoins spring-fed Lost Mine Lake, where community amenities include picnic areas, volleyball courts, a playground, restrooms, and parking. Scotts Flat Reservoir is minutes away for boating, paddling, fishing, and swimming. The property fronts a paved, county-maintained road, with electricity nearby, yet sits outside the Cascade Shores HOA boundary.You can join the HOA for social events and discounts. Its up to you. Spend the day on the water, then head to historic downtown Nevada City, approximately 15 minutes away, for dinner or an event. Whether you're dreaming of a Sierra retreat or exploring a future homesite, this is land worth seeing in person. Come walk the property and picture what you'd make of it.
