gasquet, CA 95543

Located at the gateway to Devils Punch Bowl, Bear Basin and other famous backpacking destinations, some dismiss it as no man’s land and others call it God’s country. Perhaps it’s a little bit of both. One thing is for sure: this is an affordable property with ample southern exposure and year round water. Located at the end of a stretch of private properties in the Del Norte hills east of Gasquet, this 40 is surrounded on three sides by the Six Rivers National Forest. There’s all the solitude you could want, and plenty of panoramic mountain vista views. The terrain’s southern exposure means ample sun, even in the winter. What’s more, there are countless miles of forestry roads to hike or see from OHV or horseback. It’s all just 3.5 Miles off Hwy 199, and the majority of the access road is paved. You can get going right now on one of the most fulfilling experiences in life: working your own land in a beautiful wilderness setting. And there’s plenty of work to be done. Various benches and knolls for development and a system of old roads could easily be re-graded to create a matrix of flats as prime locations for cabins, gardens, livestock, shop space, and more. Plenty of the property is covered in mature forests, but the property was affected by Smith River Complex fire and there are also stretches of cured fir ready to be harvested / milled as well as a bounty of firewood. The property is littered with quartz. Where’s the gold??? Only one way to find out. With the nearby burn scar, it’s safer to say you can manifest your dreams, pour your soul into your land, and know that there’s minimal underbrush here to fuel future fires. Do these 40 acres sound right for you? Get your boots and come check it out! Guided tours are available.
