Welcome to one of the most extraordinary pieces of land you’ll ever encounter - 160 pristine acres of raw, rugged wilderness with rare Salmon River frontage, surrounded entirely by National Forest land. This once-certified gold mine has never been mined, leaving the land untouched and teeming with possibility. Mineral rights are included, along with valuable timber rights, offering investment potential alongside unmatched natural beauty. A rustic 1-bedroom cabin dating back to the 1800s sits nestled among the trees, fed by a natural spring that gravity flows into a water tank supplying the cabin with running water. There’s also a tough shed, a second storage shed, and both upper and lower campgrounds on the other side of the cabin. A pump is in place to draw water from the river (though current piping needs repair due to some curious bears). Two tranquil tributaries meander through the property, adding to its serenity and making this an ideal escape for off-grid living, recreation, or a future mining venture. This is more than land - it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a piece of California’s wild, historic soul. Truly, there’s nothing else like it!
