14040 Deadmans Flat Rd, Grass Valley, CA 95949

Nearly 120 acres just 2.5 miles from downtown Grass Valleyand a little Gold Rush history may still be hiding in the creek. This 119.58-acre property feels remarkably private for its proximity to town, with rolling forested terrain, black oaks, wildlife and beautiful panoramic views. A seasonal creek winds through the property where remnants of old mine tailings can still be found. The seller reports recently running material from this same creek through his high banker sluice and recovering small amounts of gold. A tremendous amount of groundwork has already been completed. A private fire-access road with drainage improvements travels approximately one mile through the property to a cleared building pad measuring roughly 180' x 220'. A newer well produces approximately 60 GPM when powered by a 1,500-watt generator, per seller, while the existing solar setup currently produces approximately 6 GPM. An uninstalled 2,500-gallon water-storage tank is also included, and electricity is approximately 1,000 feet from the property. There is also potential secondary access from Rex Reservoir Road/Cinnabar Court, where much of the brush has already been cleared, although the access itself has not been installed. Nevada County has recently completed a fire-access road connecting Ponderosa Road and Highway 20. For someone looking for substantial acreage, privacy and room to create something special without being miles from civilization, this is an unusual opportunityand one with a pretty interesting story running right through the middle of it.
