Property Description
Unique parcel...one of a kind and remarkably unusual. Just a few minutes' walk to downtown Downieville sits a 16.63 acre parcel zoned R1. Access is by trail only now. This property features cool places to have a private camp and relax or use as a base for exploring Sierra County. There are a couple of old gold mines on the property and mineral rights are included. There is also a very special waterfall with a seasonal creek running down to Main Street and then to the Downie River. The land lies directly behind several houses on Main Street, and the trail begins up on Oxford Mine Road. This is a very treed property, and it had an approved Timber Harvest Plan which it has since expired. Developed trails through much of the property along with a town water ditch trail near the top. Very interesting rocks are evidence of the mining activity back in the day. Very lush areas throughout. The property is uphill from Main Street. Adjacent to a 5.96-acre judge's deed parcel. This is an exciting opportunity to own some land in Downieville...the mountain bike capital of the Sierra.
