One full section of mostly steep land but with several great features including power along the bottom road. First, it is completely surrounded on all 4 sides by 6,700 acres of government land. Second, there is at least one spring and over 3/4 of a mile of year round French Gulch Creek! Lastly, there is power to possible build sites with some dirt work. Both roads running though the property are county roads according to the title company. Cell coverage on the upper road. In 1850 French Gulch was one of California's major gold producers and at least 2 are still active today and located just up the road from the property. Elevation ranges from 1600 feet to 3000 feet at its highest peak.

Own a large part of historic French Gulch including about a half mile of Clear Creek. French Gulch was founded by French miners in 1849 and became one of California's major gold producing areas. There appears to be 2 or more mines on the property along with old creek tailings. The mines are the Dudley and part of the Hughes mine. There are mineral rights according to the title company who researched it for me. I do not know the exact location of the mines or any other details when researching them with the county building department and the title company. Stunning views for miles! Adjoins government land on 3 sides total. Two sides have over 31,000 acres of BLM land and the other side has over 41,000 acres of National Park Service Land. This property was in the 2018 Carr Fire. You pass by Whiskeytown Lake just before you get to the property. It is 15 mi to Redding. The Whiskeytown Lake area has boating, swimming, fishing, a beach, and many hiking trails with 4 leading to awesome waterfalls. I have been to 3 of them and can attest to their worthiness of the hike. The elevation goes from 1300 ft to about 2600 feet and is on both sides of Trinity Mountain Rd. There is a small PGE power station that adjoins the property and has an easement for access and lines.
