JUST NOW REDUCED! NOW just $5,760/acre! This easily accessible, "splittablly zoned: RL-10 (10 acres)." Property should ideally be parcel-mapped into, say, three 24-acre parcels and one nice 40-acre parcel! The acreage is nicely wooded with many Oaks and grassland areas too for grazing and ranch use! PG&E's electricity is readily available through much of the property, so your development costs will be lower than with other offerings! The property has nice fencing (and two gates) along the PAVED county road, so that is another BIG cost-saving for you! This close-in 112 acres will make a good horse or cattle venture. Additionally, if you'd like a High Sierra snowcap view, you can build yourself a secluded, custom home in the beautiful oak-covered upper portions of this acreage! Also, a plus here is that an old, existing ranch road (needs some improving) provides vehicular access through much of the acreage where many gentle building areas can be easily developed to your liking. Seller is willing to offer you good private financing here, which adds up to an easier, excellent, AND more affordable purchase! Lastly, large, split-zoned parcels this close-in are very hard to find, so do arrange soon to come take a closer look!
