127 Acres for Sale in Yreka, California

Private 127-acre forested mountain retreat located just 3.8 miles from Yreka and only a few miles west of I-5. Priced at $69,000, this unique property offers exceptional privacy, abundant recreational opportunities, and access to thousands of acres of adjoining public land.

The property is primarily forested and mountainous, with sloping terrain throughout most of the acreage. One of its most attractive features is an approximately 2-acre gentle ridge-top bench east of the main Forest Service road, offering a potential location for recreational use or a future off-grid homesite. An abandoned trailer is currently located in this area and will remain with the property.

The northern portion includes approximately 10 acres of well-forested sloping terrain. Property corners have previously been surveyed and identified.

The property directly adjoins more than 400 acres of public land to the east and over 2,000 acres to the north, creating excellent opportunities for hiking, hunting, exploring, and outdoor recreation. The property is located within California’s B hunting zone, with deer, bear, turkey, quail, dove, and grouse found in the surrounding area.

Primary access is via mountainous gravel Forest Service roads. The main USFS road provides the practical route into the property and is generally passable by car under normal conditions, although the roads are not maintained during winter.

Several older trails shown on historical maps should not be relied upon for vehicle access. The ridge-top trail extending east has a large berm near the property boundary and was further disrupted by Forest Service fire-break work in 2022. The southerly downslope road is heavily overgrown and appears to terminate shortly after leaving the property.

This is a true off-grid mountain property located miles from conventional electric and telephone service. Cell service is available. A future cabin or residence would typically rely on solar and/or generator power, satellite or cellular communications, and propane or other fuel that can be delivered or hauled to the property.

The property is zoned TPZ – Timberland Production District. TPZ provides special timberland property-tax treatment. Siskiyou County documents also state that a single-family residence is a permitted TPZ use provided a Timber Management Plan is prepared, along with applicable county permitting requirements.
