A property like this doesn’t come around often. Set on 10+ flat, usable acres at ~3,600 ft elevation in this cool, forested part of Shasta County, is a rare blend of water, privacy, and possibility, offered at just $345,000. The land is the story. A creek flows through the property with State of California water rights (diversion & storage), feeding a striking half-acre pond fully contained within the grounds. Today, the pond has grown in with cattails and the landscape has softened into a more natural state, offering a unique opportunity to restore its truly special setting. Evergreens, aspens, and open meadows create a beautiful, serene environment, with underground utilities preserving uninterrupted natural views. Whether you envision a private retreat, event venue, small farm, or income-producing getaway, the A-1 zoning enables a wide range of uses, including additional structures. At the center sits a 1,600 sq ft building, originally part of a nursery and gift shop, now offering a blank canvas with windows on all sides, skylights, and a flexible open layout. A kitchenette, shower, ADA half bath, and existing systems (septic, well, propane heat) provide the foundation to reimagine the space as a residence, live/work setup, or hospitality concept. Supporting structures include an 1,800 sq ft pole barn, greenhouse frame, tool shed, and carport. Private access road (Upcountry Ct) directly from Highway 44, curves through the woods as the home and pond unveil. Walking through the property you’ll find historic relics of the early 1900s Viola Lumber Company’s steam-powered mill. With its later life as a nursery and event space, and most recently as a residence, the property carries both history and forward potential. Few properties combine water rights, usable acreage, multiple structures, and flexible zoning at this price point. An excellent location, private yet accessible. You’re just 20 minutes from Lassen Volcanic National Park, with year-round recreation (hiking, snow play, fishing, and boating). The Sacramento River, Whiskeytown Lake, and nearby Grace and Nora Lakes offer additional outdoor access, while Redding is just 30 minutes away for full services, healthcare, and retail. Despite the sense of retreat, daily essentials are within minutes, and the Bay Area is an easy ~3.5-hour freeway drive.
