Tucked in the northeast corner of California, Modoc County borders Oregon to the north and Nevada to the east. It is one of California's least populous but largest counties. This remote & rural county is an attractive, unique destination for those seeking solitude, outdoor adventures, untouched natural beauty and a slower pace of life. Picturesque landscapes, including mountains, forests, and lakes await you here! If you prefer a small-town atmosphere & close-knit community, Modoc County is for you!
These 10 properties are located in the Hill Unit #5 of California Pines, an off-the-grid community located about 30 miles southwest of the one square-mile city of Alturas. The Hill units are almost all covered with four different kinds of pine trees. The elevation in the Hill units varies from 5,000 to 6,400 feet. All of the roads are gravel.
RVs and camping are permissible for up to 30 days of a calendar year. If you are considering constructing a home, please note that the living space must be no less than 500 square feet, and that the lots in Unit 5 are not snow plowed.
Construction in the Hill units will require a private well and septic system. If there is electricity in the area, it can be extended to your lot. Power is obtained through Surprise Valley Electric. Solar & winterbine are also allowed.
The summers (April-September) encourage camping, hunting, hiking, fishing, and water sports against the backdrop of the uniquely beautiful Warner Mountains. An open range habitat for diverse wildlife, the area is home to mountain lions, cattle, mule deer, antelope, coyotes, bald eagles, and other bird species. It is a destination for birdwatching and offers a chance to observe wildlife in their natural habitat. Waterfowl season is huge in Modoc county!
