Private approximately 74-acre Nevada County property directly across from Malakoff Diggins State Historic Park featuring usable south-facing acreage, established water infrastructure, multiple cleared areas, and expansive mountain views. A significant portion of the property offers usable terrain with strong southern exposure ideal for gardening, orchards, solar, homesteading, or recreational use. Improvements include a solar-powered well system feeding an approximately 2, 500-gallon hillside reservoir with gravity-fed pressure through a 2'' mainline, water spigots throughout the main clearing, raised garden beds with organic soil, some garden beds are made from cedar milled from the land, and two 40' shipping containers for storage. The property includes several cleared areas with potential for future building sites, including a graded area near the well and garden and an elevated ridgeline with panoramic views. Multiple cleared roads and access paths run throughout portions of the property, along with older logging roads that may offer additional expansion potential. A seasonal creek runs in the forest behind the garden area. Snow Tent is just 10 min away with mountain springs and Mother Truckers 15 min down the road, and just about 35 min from downtown Nevada City. Well reportedly represented at approximately 100 GPM when acquired. Suitable for a homestead, a campground, cabin retreat, agricultural project, recreational property, timber production (for potential extra income), or long-term land investment in a highly private setting within Nevada County. Seller financing may be available with substantial down payment.
