Directly bordering the Tahoe National Forest, lies a stunning piece
of acreage with access to the North Fork of the American River. The
forty acre parcel is situated within a gated community in Emigrant Gap,
approximately 1.5 miles from the Emigrant Gap exit of I-80 and 7/10 of a
mile from where the county stops plowing. At this distance, it is
probably not cost feasible to bring in PG&E when solar power is more
affordable and growing in popularity.
Your own private road runs throughout the property for easy access to
the multiple building sites with wonderful views of distant ridges.
Where the road ends, a national forest trail begins which leads to the
river at Sailor Flat. A 4 wheeler, or quad, is almost a necessity on a
property like this. On a quad, the trip to the river would take about
5-10 minutes through well-managed national forest land.
Although this property is generally not accessible in winter by car,
a snowmobile enthusiast would have the time of their life in a
distinctly private setting. And in spring, summer and fall, this would
make an excellent, affordable mountain retreat. Accented by captivating
views, gorgeous rock outcroppings, a sense of community spirit, a
plethora of wildflowers and much usable land, this is simply a mountain
paradise. Having direct access to the river like this is quite unusual,
but due to the setting and lack of town amenities, is actually
affordable.
The property is located within 5 minutes of a gas station,
convenience store and Burger King. Several large lakes and countless
trails are within 10-15 minutes away. And the property is only about 20
minutes to Truckee and 40 minutes from Auburn. At about 5200 feet in
elevation, the summer temperatures are roughly 20 degrees cooler than
Sacramento in the daytime. And if it's still too warm, just swing on
down to the river and take a dip.
According to Placer County Code, this land is subdividable too, down
to 10 acre parcels. This is subject to availability of water, septic and
other factors. The land is zoned residential forest, not timber
production (TPZ), which can make building for residential use
challenging. But here, the building process is simplified and in
accordance with normal county standards.
Showings are available by appointment, as one must be accompanied by
an agent past the gate. If you have quads, bring them! It will make
getting to the river possible.
