From here you are only 21-22 minutes North to El Dorado, or South to Plymouth ... Also, you are only an hour to Sacramento, and 2 hours East to beautiful South Lake Tahoe, OR West to the SF Bay Area!. The seller's plans have changed, so they are willing to negotiate reasonably to create a "win-win" transaction! Do come and walk around to get a really nice feel for this 165 acres: see if this beautiful, rural area and large parcel meets your plans and needs ... it is a pretty nice property and value!

This acreage is easily accessible AND "splittablly zoned: RL-10 (10 acres)." Property could ideally be Parcel-Mapped into, say, three 24-acre parcels and one nice 40-acre parcel! The acreage is nicely wooded with many Oaks, and grassland areas as well, for grazing and ranch use! PG&E's electricity is readily available ON the property, so your development costs will benefit from that fact! The property has nice fencing (and two gates) along a PAVED County road, which is another cost-saving for you! This close-in 112 acres will make a good horse or cattle venture. Say too, if you like beautiful, High Sierras snowcap views, build yourself a secluded, custom home amongst the oak-studded upper portions of this acreage! Also, a plus here is that an old, existing ranch road that, though it needs some improving, does provide vehicular access through much of the acreage where many gentle building areas can be easily developed to your liking. Seller is, with a good offer, considering doing good private financing here, which makes for an excellent AND more affordable purchase! NOTE: Large, split-zoned parcels are very, very hard to find, so here awaits your excellent development opportunity!
