Hwy 299e Bella Vista, CA 96008

Located in the historic town of Ingot, where in 1862 the old timers mined for silver, copper, and zinc. This property is or adjoins what is known as the Afterthought Smelter where they melted the rock to extract the precious metals. Mineral rights say you get from 0 to 100 feet down. This extremely ...unique property includes approximately 580 feet of awesome year round Cow Creek which does contain fish. Also included on the other side of the creek from the highway is a ¼ acre flat area. Lastly, just off the hwy on the west side is a steep but less than 1/2 mile long dirt road leading up to a nice private camp/getaway spot with views of Mt Lassen. Some properties in this area are also getting government funding for old mine/mineral remanence cleanup from the EPA in the form of a Super Fund. (No cost to owner) There is a back way into the part of the property with the creek & level area on it (east side.) This road is an easement for others' and does get narrow near the end. It currently needs a really good 4x4 or an ATV. There is also 38 acres of BLM land that you drive through if you go this way. The elevation ranges from 1100 to 1550 feet, below the snow. Come camp, fish, or recreate on this truly unique property. Continue reading
