This 1.62 acre property is located about an hour south of the Oregon border, about 5 miles north of Alturas, California in Modoc County. Located in the Modoc Estates where you can find a mix of open undeveloped land and some scattered homes. This subdivision is surrounded by the Modoc National Forest and its millions of acres of undeveloped forest land for you to hike, fish, hunt and explore. This property is partially flat, with a slope on the back of the property, with scattered trees and nice valley views. The property has a nice array of scattered pine trees mixed with natural open clearings. Proximity to town makes it very accessible and only a short trip from all your shopping, gas, and necessities. The surrounding area that makes up Modoc County is composed of plenty of open nature, beautiful pine forest, rivers, lakes, and streams. The pictures are of the property and the surrounding views. This lot in Modoc Recreational Estates offers the perfect balance of privacy and perspective. Dotted with scattered native junipers and open clearings, the terrain provides a natural frame for the expansive, unobstructed views of the valley basin below.Experience the raw beauty of Northern California’s "Last Frontier." Perched 5 miles north of Alturas in the Modoc Recreational Estates, this 1.62-acre retreat offers breathtaking, unobstructed views of the valley basin and the distant horizon. Located on a quiet dead-end street, you’ll enjoy total privacy with no through-traffic to interrupt your stargazing. Whether you’re watching the sunrise over the Modoc Plateau or tracking eagles soaring above, this is the perfect basecamp for high-desert adventure. • The Space: A spacious, secluded lot with natural sagebrush and juniper landscape. • The Location: Just a short drive from the fishing and birdwatching at Dorris Reservoir and the rugged trails of the Modoc National Forest. • Access: Easy access via CA-299 and US-395, making it a convenient stop for those traveling through the scenic northeast corner of the state. Guests will be welcome to enjoy a private campfire under the stars, though they will need to create their own fire area as no pre-built pit is provided. We will ask that fires be built only on bare mineral soil, positioned at least 15 feet away from tall grass or overhanging branches for safety. While guests are encouraged to use loose stones found on-site to ring their fire, we will require that all stone rings be dismantled and all ashes be cold to the touch before departure. Finally, it will be the responsibility of the guest to verify and adhere to any local county burn bans that may be in effect during their stay. *Bring all your own materials (picnic table, campfire material, etc)
