SOLD!
7/4/2010
$9,100 - owner financing available.
Up for sale today (and everyday until sold) is a 2.5 acre treed lot about as close to the Oregon border as you can get. The parcel is located on Horseshoe Trail and is slightly up sloping with great southern views and exposure. This property has guaranteed California sunshine and views year round! The small town of Dorris is about 3 miles away.
On our last trip to the property in February 2006, there were plenty of deer around, grouse (or similar looking bird), and the geese were audible from the lake that is very close by. It was clear, cold, and crisp. There wasn't any snow on the ground due to the southern exposure, but other parts of the subdivision did have snow, just about a foot where the trees were thicker.
One of the nicest features of this lot (besides the outstanding views) is a 36 acre lake less than 800 feet away. I'm pretty sure that a 2 story house would have partial views of this lake. Walking to it took about 4 minutes. And it was loaded with birds. The picture with all the deer was taken about 1/4 mile from the property. Just standing on the property another lake is visible in the distance (maybe 7 miles away), and Mount Shasta was covered by clouds. The area is rugged and jam packed with wildlife.
A down payment of $100 is all that is needed to own this property. The buyer will assume a balance of $9,000 to be paid in monthly installments of $104.50 for 10 years. (7% interest) Please ask all your questions and do your due diligence before purchasing. This is raw land and sold as is. I will respond to all emails promptly if you have any questions at all.
This is a beautiful south facing lot with legal access to the property. Zoning is RR B-10 which allows for a home and limited agricultural uses. A second home or mother in-law quarters would be feasible on this 2.5 acres depending that certain other requirements are met. The views are unspoiled and go for miles. As it sits right now, this parcel can make a great weekend getaway for camping out, hunting, fishing, or for just getting away from it all.
Additional information: Siskiyou County, RR B-10. Taxes are current and approximately $80/year. The successful buyer will be responsible for paying the yearly taxes beginning in November 2010.

Lots of deer in the vicinity. Picture snapped about 1/4 mile from property.
Close up of the 36 acre lake, lots of geese in the water, might not be able to see them in the picture, but they are there. The closer I got to the water, the louder it became.

California map - this lot is definitely secluded and almost hugs the Oregon border.
Road maps of subdivision. All southern facing roads were clear of snow during our last visit in February. 4 wheel drive or other sturdy AWD vehicle needed on some of the roads and especially for winter use. (Not Honda civic friendly) Some of the roads in the subdivision are maintained better than others.
Added an aerial shot to show lot location, lake, trees, and roads.
