This 51+ acres sits approx. 5 miles above the quaint little river front town of Washington, above Nevada City. Located near the top of Gaston Grade, in a big forest setting with amazing views. There are a couple small structures you may want to use until you build your own dream, off grid cabin overlooking your own private 3 acre meadow. Mature cedars, Douglas Fir, and Sugar Pine trees offer a nice blend of marketable timber to chose from, if you want to build your home using your own trees. Property features an 11 hour sunpath in the meadow, for solar and a big food garden for those wanting a fully sustainable mountain retreat property. Sellers prefer cash offer, but may carry short term financing with a strong down payment for a qualified buyer. Priced competitively to sell.
