Panoramic views stretch for miles across rolling oak-covered hills and foothill pines at 1,500 feet elevation - perfectly positioned below the snow line and above the valley fog. This 40-acre ranch parcel sits nestled inside a 3,000+ acre expanse of open land, offering a level of privacy and seclusion that is nearly impossible to find. A 2026 well is now in place - 3.0 gpm at 440 feet, with a well depth of 900 feet and a static water level at 700 feet, yielding 600+ gallons pumpable at 5 gpm in the first two hours. A newly developed building pad sits within close proximity to the well site, with multiple additional building sites identified across the property. The foundation for your dream build is already done. Broadband internet access is available via line-of-sight connection to an adjacent tower (Conifer Wireless or Starlink), making full-time off-grid living fully viable. Solar application is excellent year-round. An OES/Cal-Fire alert system lookout on the adjacent property adds an additional layer of safety awareness. The landscape is pure California foothill ranch - springtime wildflowers, bald eagles, osprey, red-tailed hawks, wild turkeys, fox, and bobcat are regular visitors. Stunning sunrises, sunsets, and unobstructed night skies for world-class stargazing. Gently sloping horse and cattle pasture with natural terrain elevation changes suited for a private shooting range.

Sacramento and Sacramento International Airport are 60 minutes away. Kirkwood/South Lake Tahoe skiing is 90 minutes. Yosemite National Park is 2 hours.
