Private luxury estate site with commanding views. Nestled between Lincoln and Auburn off Highway 193, this once-in-a-lifetime 28.5 acre property lies in the storied Gold Hill area of Newcastle. Minutes to I-80, Galleria, Bass Pro, prime dining & shopping, top schools, and premier medical care. East of local golf courses and the Bickford Ranch development, it offers the perfect blend of privacy, prestige, and proximity. At the end of a hidden valley overlooking a carpet of trees onto the Central Valley, the land unfolds like a natural ampitheater. A softly-rounded, sombrero-shaped hilltop forms the ideal unobstructed building seat - nearly level, not steep - framed by treetops just below in the immediate distance yet open to breathtaking 180-360 Deg views of rolling countryside, and spectacular sunsets! Surrounding the hill, gentle lower meadows and flats invite vineyards, pastures, orchards, or equestrian use, with excellent access throughout. The NID canal defines part of the boundary, providing potential irrigation. Zoned RA, the land is splittable (buyer to verify) presenting rare flexibility for a luxury country estate, family compound, ranch/farm, vineyard, or thoughtful development of future homesites. The true Gold Hill of the area.
