County & State

Modoc, California

0.997

Zoning

Rural Residential

Property Use

Manufactured Homes Allowed, Mobile Homes Allowed, Modular Homes Allowed, Off the Grid

Description
Just under an acre of rolling pine-and-juniper country in California Pines Unit 1, off Fremont Road at 5,277 feet of Modoc County mountainside. This is the kind of place where ravens cross the sky in the morning, deer wander through the pines at dusk, and the only soundtrack is wind through the treetops. Alturas is roughly 15 minutes north for groceries, the Modoc National Wildlife Refuge is 25 minutes south for waterfowl viewing, and Goose Lake sits an hour north on the Oregon border for paddling and sunsets. Modoc County Agricultural Residential zoning allows a single-family home, modular, manufactured, mobile, or tiny home, plus RV camping while you build and hunting. Off-grid setup — drill a well, install septic, run solar, wind, or propane. California Pines POA dues cover road maintenance. Reach out for the GPS pin.
