1.03 Acres for Sale in Alturas, California

Modoc County, located in the far northeast corner of California, is often called the “place where the west still lives” and is frequently compared to the beautiful expanses of Montana.

The warm, dry summers encourage camping, hiking, fishing, and water sports against the backdrop of the uniquely beautiful Warner Mountains, with their clear alpine streams and a high desert dotted with serene lakes. An ideal habitat for diverse wildlife, the area is home to bald eagles, peregrine falcons, goshawks, golden eagles, Rocky Mountain mule deer and elk, wild horses, burros and pronghorn antelope.

This lot is located in the California Pines, a beautiful community located just 20 miles southwest of the City of Alturas. California Pines covers 15,000 acres surrounded by 2 million acres of the Modoc National Forest.
