Direct lake access, 5.35 acres, and no HOA. This surveyed corner parcel in Nevada City's Cascade Shores offers a rare combination of space, recreation, privacy, and year-round access. The property directly adjoins Lost Mine Lake, a spring-fed community lake with picnic areas, volleyball courts, a playground, restrooms, and parking. Scotts Flat Reservoir is just minutes away for boating, fishing, kayaking, paddleboarding, swimming, and exploring more than seven miles of shoreline. Towering ponderosa pines create a peaceful Sierra setting, while historic hydraulic mining banks, quartz-studded gravels, classic Gold Country terrain, and a seasonal low area that attracts wildlife give the land distinctive character. The parcel fronts a paved, county-maintained road with seasonal snow removal, and electricity is nearby. Best of all, it sits outside the Cascade Shores HOA boundary, so there are no HOA dues or HOA restrictions. Historic downtown Nevada City is approximately 15 minutes away, with restaurants, breweries, galleries, shopping, and year-round events. I-80 ski resorts are less than an hour away, and Lake Tahoe's North Shore is within easy reach. Whether you envision a private retreat, recreational getaway, or future homesite, parcels offering this much acreage and immediate access to Lost Mine Lake are increasingly hard to find. Come walk the land and discover your own corner of the Sierra pines.
