PROPERTY DESCRIPTION:

Beautiful mountain property, a great place to spend time away from it all, exploring the grandeur and peace found off the beaten path! This property is right off Highway 3 for easy paved road access without a lot of extra time or effort, but still located in a quiet area of rural Siskiyou County with plenty of privacy. There are a large variety of trees on the parcel, in addition to the crowning jewels – two small year-round streams that give this property life and character of its own. One is called Mule Creek and the other is Shingle Creek.  The property borders public land for even more room to roam and explore during those occasional summer camping excursions or cool fall hunting trips.

This parcel is on the outskirts of the tiny historic community of Callahan in Scott Valley, Siskiyou County.  Callahan was a gold rush town and one time bustling with several thousand miners, but now is a tiny community of less than 200.  There is still a post office, a small church, a bar that also serves some food and carries a few necessities and offers live music some weekends, and a historic cemetery. This land is also just a couple minutes from the Pacific Crest Trail, where it crosses Highway 3 on the top of Scott Mountain, so right down the road from the Trinity Alps Wilderness & not far to Trinity Lake.

It sits above the southern end of Scott Valley, a hidden jewel in the northernmost part of California. This quiet rural agricultural community has several elementary schools, a junior high, high school, medical services, shopping, restaurants, etc.  Less than an hour away, the Siskiyou County seat of Yreka, sports a small hospital, groceries, more shopping, and easy access to I-5 and Southern Oregon.  Scott Valley is bordered by thousands of acres of timbered wilderness in the Klamath National Forest, including the Trinities, the Russian Wilderness, and the Marble Mountain Wilderness – an area known for its scenic beauty, many small lakes, fishing, hiking, packing & horseback riding, the Pacific Crest Trail, blacktail deer, and bear hunting, and hidden caves.
