Investment Insights
Based on property information with market context.
This 16.63-acre parcel offers a distinctive mix of recreation-oriented landscape and historical mining features, including a couple of old gold mines and mineral rights included with the property. The land is heavily treed and includes developed trails through much of the acreage, along with a town water ditch trail near the top. The property also includes very special waterfall features with a seasonal creek that runs down toward Main Street. An approved Timber Harvest Plan was previously in place but has since expired, and the property’s visible rock formations reflect prior mining activity.
Located at 543 Main St in Downieville, the parcel lies directly behind several houses on Main Street and is uphill from Main Street. Access is by trail only at this time, with the trail beginning up on Oxford Mine Road. A seasonal creek flows down from the property toward Main Street and then to the Downie River, tying the parcel’s natural amenities to the town’s drainage path.
The property is suited to buyers looking for land to use as a private camping base and exploration area in Sierra County. With mineral rights included and historic mine sites onsite, it also supports owners interested in a mining-linked asset. The parcel is adjacent to a 5.96-acre judge’s deed parcel, providing additional continuity for compatible uses.
