Description
An elevated 0.95-acre treed homesite on Devils Drive in California Pines Unit 5, sitting at 6,303 feet — the kind of high-mountain Modoc County country where the pines smell like sap in summer, the snow stays clean in winter, and the dark sky belongs to the Milky Way. Alturas is about 30 minutes north for groceries; Modoc National Wildlife Refuge is roughly 40 minutes south, and the South Warner Wilderness is an hour east for elk hunting and weekend backpacking. Modoc County Agricultural Residential zoning supports a single-family home, modular, manufactured, mobile, or tiny home, plus RV camping while you build, hunting, and tent camping. Off-grid — drill a well, install septic, run solar, wind, or propane. California Pines POA covers road maintenance. Reach out when you'd like to walk the corners.

Building Information

READ THIS: We are not the Planning & Zoning department and while we try to answer common questions about what the property can be used for, we can't provide a yes or no answer for every circumstance. Below we provide helpful contact information to complete due diligence. AcrePal or its affiliates make no warranty or guarantee, either expressed or implied relative to usability, the exact location, desirability, or usefulness of the properties or boundary lines of the properties. Buyer is solely responsible for determining the condition of the property, the physical aspects of the land, its geographical location, accessibility, and correct acreage. All information contained herein is deemed reliable but not guaranteed. Buyer is required to complete Buyer's own due diligence prior to purchasing any property from AcrePal or its affiliates.
