Description

Discover the magic of year-round Grizzly Creek on this exceptional 10.33-acre Nevada City retreat. Meandering through the property, the creek is bordered by lush elephant ears, ferns, wild hollyhocks, and other native vegetation, creating a peaceful and picturesque setting. The land features a beautiful mix of dogwoods, madrones, conifers, and majestic oaks, offering privacy, shade, wildlife habitat, and classic Sierra foothill beauty. Several attractive building sites provide options for your future home, family retreat, or recreational getaway. An existing 13' x 12' unfinished cabin with deck overlooks the creek and serves as the perfect base camp while you plan your vision. The property includes a completed perc and mantle evaluation, power poles along the property line, and a transformer already in place. The seller reports finding placer gold in Grizzly Creek, adding a touch of Gold Country history and adventure. The timbered landscape may also present opportunities for forest stewardship and fuels-reduction programs, potentially helping offset ownership costs while improving forest health and wildfire resilience. Whether you're looking for a private creekside escape, future homesite, recreational property, or the quintessential cabin in the woods, this rare offering combines natural beauty, privacy, and opportunity in one remarkable package.
