Some dismiss it as no man’s land, others see beyond that and call it God’s country. Perhaps it’s a little bit of both. One thing is for sure: this is an affordable property that’s ripe for off-grid homestead development. Located at the end of a stretch of private properties in the Del Norte hills east of Gasquet, this 40 is surrounded on three sides by the Six Rivers National Forest. Year-round fresh water is available by tapping into your own on-site spring. There’s all the solitude you could want, and plenty of panoramic mountain vista views. The terrain’s southern exposure means ample sun, even in the winter. What’s more, there are countless miles of forestry roads to hike or see from OHV or horseback. It’s all just 3.5 Miles off Hwy 199, and the majority of the access road is paved. You can get going right now on one of the most fulfilling experiences in life: working your own land in a beautiful wilderness setting. And there’s plenty of work to be done. Over 50% of the property was affected by the Smith River Complex fire two years ago. This means an estimated 350,000 board feet of Douglas Fir already cured and standing, prime for reclamation. There’s plenty of hardwood ready for stockpiling for firewood too. Bring your mill while the wood is still ripe for milling! Do you like operating equipment? Then this is a must-see! A number of level benches and sections of old road could easily be re-graded to create a matrix of flats as prime locations for cabins, gardens, livestock, shop space, and more. And guess what: quartz rock is littered every- where, easily accessible due to the burnover. Where’s the gold??? Only one way to find out. Finally: there’s one more important upside to a forested area that’s survived a burn. You can manifest your dreams, pour your soul into your land, and know that there’s minimal underbrush here to fuel future fires. Do these 40 acres sound right for you? Get your boots and come check it out! Guided tours are available.
