A rare opportunity for builders, investors, and nature enthusiasts looking to create their dream home near Auburn in an authentic mountain recreational retreat- surrounded by forest, canyon scenery, and established trail access just minutes from the property! 5.7 usable acres with existing infrastructure. From the moment you arrive, the property offers a peaceful and inviting feel. Situated on an elevated hilltop, this property features largely level, usable acreage surrounded by beautiful mature trees. The setting offers a desirable combination of clustered trees, shade, abundant natural light, and open-skies. Pleasant breezes from the canyon add to the comfort and natural character of the site. At approximately 2,000 feet elevation, the property enjoys occasional winter snow. One of the property's key advantages is its convenient and quick access to Foresthill Road and I-80. It is approximately 14 minutes from Auburn and I-80 via a convenient, scenic, low-traffic route and about 10 minutes from downtown Foresthill, providing relatively easy access to work, shopping, and everyday amenities. At the same time, the property is buffered by forest, creating privacy and separation from road noise. Surrounding homes are situated on substantial acreage, adding to the sense of space and privacy. The property is also adjacent to the high-end Eagle Ridge Estate while offering more acreage at a more affordable price point. Enjoy the beautiful scenic surroundings and abundant recreational opportunities, with walking proximity to the canyon and the North Fork of the American River on one side, and the renowned Western States Trail leading toward the Middle Fork of the American River just a five-minute drive away on the other. Another unique advantage is the pricing. The listing price is based on the acreage and existing infrastructure already connected on site, including electricity, public water and septic. No value has been attributed to the existing manufactured home, one-car garage, workshop, or two-car carport due to their current condition. The pricing also reflects an estimated adjustment of approximately $20,000 for potential demolition and removal of the existing structures. Property condition requires a cash purchase. We invite you to discover this rare blend of mountain lifestyle, everyday convenience and a desirable upscale neighborhood setting with exceptional potential. Come and make the mountains your home!
