Rarely does a privately owned property combine patented gold-mining claims, abundant mountain water, exceptional Mule Deer and elk habitat and premier snowmobile country in a single estate. This Western mineral stronghold is in Californias historic High Grade Mining District. The North Star Basin Estate encompasses 87.5+/- fee-simple acres across four consolidated, patented claims: the Morrell Mine, Peacemaker, North Star, and Mill Creek. This private compound has exceptional intrinsic value in the complete sub-surface mineral rights (GOLD, SILVER, COPPER etc.), abundant WATER resources and existing off-grid infrastructure. Two, newer, unpermitted CABINS, provide an immediate basecamp for HUNTING (a sanctuary for trophy MULE DEER and ELK in California's coveted Hunting Zone X3b), prospecting, or recreational getaways. Return from a day of treasure hunting and soak in the wood-fire hot-tub, enjoy a shower from the on-demand propane water heater, and stargaze from your over-sized deck. Situated on high-grade epithermal quartz veins, the basin holds the historic Morrell Mine workings alongside gold-bearing placer gravels. Water wealth is paramount, anchored by the perennial, TROUT-FILLED WATERS of Mill Creek cutting through the parcel and multiple high-yield alpine springs providing continuous, gravity-fed water. Near the famous Surprise Valley Hot Springs and Davis Creek rainbow obsidian mines. Perched at a 7,000 ft elevation and completely surrounded by the Modoc National Forest this is the ultimate SNOW MOBILE playground. Absolute security and privacy are assured via a lock
