Property Description

Twenty and a half acres of level high-desert ground where the Sierra Nevada and the Cascades run out into the Great Basin. Nothing built between you and the horizon in any direction. GROUND AND COVER The parcel is a level to gently sloping sagebrush flat at roughly 4,700 to 4,800 feet. Cover is mature big sagebrush, native bunchgrass, and seasonal wildflowers, with scattered juniper along the fence lines. Timbered ridges rise on three sides and distant peaks close the view to the east.

ACCESS
The entire southern boundary fronts Crow Road, an unmaintained dirt road inside the subdivision. Crow Road meets West Side Road roughly a quarter mile east, and Highway 395 is about six miles further on. A standard vehicle will reach the property in dry conditions. High clearance or four-wheel drive is the sensible choice in wet weather and through winter.

CORNERS AND FENCING
The parcel has been surveyed and the corners are staked. Remnant barbed-wire fencing with wood corner posts runs along portions of the boundary. Condition varies, and existing fence should not be relied on as a boundary determination.

WHAT'S NEARBY
Eagle Lake — the second-largest natural lake in California and a well-known trout fishery — is within driving distance, along with large stretches of public land used for hunting, off-road riding, and dispersed camping. Susanville is the nearest full-service town. Neighboring parcels are lightly built with scattered homes and outbuildings.

NO POA
There is no property owners association and no annual assessment on this parcel. Road maintenance within the subdivision is the responsibility of individual lot owners under recorded deeded easements. Interior subdivision roads are unmaintained dirt and gravel.

FINANCING
Cash price is $15,500. Owner financing is available on this parcel — no bank, no credit check, no prepayment penalty. Contact us for terms.

WHAT IT IS
A large, private, road-fronted parcel for camping, RV use, and getting off the grid on weekends
Hunting and off-road ground with public land nearby Room for livestock, horses, and open-range recreation
An affordable way to own real California acreage outright, with no association telling you what to do
A long-term hold in a county where land is still cheap

WHAT IT ISN'T
A ready-to-build homesite — the flood zone makes permanent construction a permitting question, not a given Serviced land. No water, no sewer, no power at the parcel Paved access. Crow Road is dirt and not county maintained Close to town. Plan on hauling in everything you need A quick flip. Priced as land to use or hold, not to resell next year.


FEMA Flood Zone A — entire parcel This parcel is mapped in its entirety within FEMA Flood Zone A, a Special Flood Hazard Area, per FIRM panel 06035C0775D, effective September 3, 2010. Zone A designates a 1% annual chance flood hazard area for which no Base Flood Elevation has been determined.

Any development within a Special Flood Hazard Area — including grading, fill, placement of structures, or installation of a manufactured home — requires a floodplain development permit from Lassen County. Establishing a base flood elevation may require a licensed surveyor or civil engineer, at the buyer's cost.

Verify all floodplain requirements, restrictions, and costs with Lassen County Planning and Building Services before you buy. Apex Land LLC makes no representation that this parcel can be built on. We would rather you know this now than find out later.
