Learn more about this land: This property is located in an historic gold mining town about 45 minutes from Auburn. Our 60 years old, non irrigated, 30 acre walnut orchard sits on top a mountain at 3000 with breathtaking views and is surrounded by forest. We have over 200 Goats & Sheep, 2 horses and 3 Alpaca's that freely graze the property and will most likely visit with guests. If you are not comfortable with livestock then this is not the property for you. There is an 1200 foot airstrip running through the middle of the orchard. Parking or camping is available on this or choose to camp in the orchard. You can chill out at the property and enjoy the scenery and animals or hike around our mountain. Mineral bar campground, with access to the American River, is 20 minutes away by car where you can swim or pan for gold. Sugar Pine Reservoir is also about 20 minutes away by car, where you can fish or swim. Located near the reservoir are dirt bike trails ranging from beginner to advanced trails (check prior to see if they are open), . The top of Stevens trail is 15 minutes away but this is for advanced hikers only.This property is located in an historic gold mining town about 45 minutes from Auburn.

OffGrid mountain top walnut orchard

An old airstrip, beautiful walnut trees and it's the middle of nowhere. Perfect! The owner was really really helpful and the animals are very friendly.

One for the bucket list.

Beautiful property!!! My son and I loved all of the different animals, and the privacy. Short drive to a beautiful reservoir for great swimming and bicycling. Definitely recommend a stay on top of the mountain. Doris was very informative and a great guide. Thank you for a wonderful time and a great father and son experience!!
