So where is it and how much ground did you get? Really looks wonderful!

I picked up 6 acres in Ca. I know it does suck it’s in Ca but I couldn’t pass this up.
We have deer living on the property, bears by the river and some good fishing.
There is a small creek running through our land and the Feather River is within walking distance.
we bought this for seasonal camping but have decided to put a small cabin on the back portion in the timber to use during the off season that will have heat.
This is a work in progress for sure but we love it. Only a hour from out home we can go anytime. Now we are just waiting for the power to be brought in.

I pick up some land every time that I go hiking in the cleats of my boots.

I do have to say however that yours is a lot nicer looking than what I end up with.

We are going to Austin, Nv probably in Sept to look at 10 acres. It is part of the old homestead my GGGrandfather had in the 1880's. It has part of the old stone cabin he built on the original 160 acres.

It was a great place to live in the 40's thru the about 1980. I was born there and lived there until I was 58 and retired to Colorado in 2000. I am a 4th generation Californio. I had a great career there. But it just got to liberal to suit me. Used to be some great hunting and fishing there.

The locals are great folks.

Not like when I was a youngster. I lived in a suburb of LA (Downey) and we used to drive 1/2 hour to 3/4 hr and hunt deer, quail, pheasants and rabbits. It's all houses and malls now. My Dad killed tons of deer in Malibu where we had 10 acres of land. Fishing in the ocear used to be outstanding too, it's all a no fishing preserve now. I used to dive off the Palos Verdes coast and get lobster and abalone.

Central & northern Cal and the Sierras are still pretty good as long as you get away from the coast and cities. I still will take Colorado any day!

The only problem is that it is pretty far to Fallon for shopping.

much of the northern half of the state is beautiful.
my great grandfather was born in michigan bluffs calif in 1881. we went and visited there with him in the late 70s when he was around 98 years old or so and there was a family still there, living in the house he was born in, that remembered his family. they gave us a tour of the area and mines, in an old ww2 jeep. wish I could remember that mans name, as it meant a lot to my great grandfather that he took the time to do that for us. HE was a stand up gent!

Here is a 5x5 mule deer that was shot at Malibu. Now nothing but million dollar estates of movie stars.

I paid a kings ransom for a 40 acre chunk of land in Georgia a couple year back. Buying land to recreate on is in my opinion one of the best things you can spend your money on. Its not much, but its mine.

I set a Temporary electric pole out there on Saturday. Getting this new house show on the road finally.
