Huge price reduction!! Offered for the first time in generations, this remarkable 10.6-acre patented gold mine has remained in the same family for over 100 years and presents an opportunity that may never come again. Unlike many historic mining properties that were heavily worked, this property has remained largely untouched through the decades, leaving the next owner to decide what chapter comes next. Known as the North Star Placer Mining Claim, this unique property traces its roots to an 1873 United States land patent during the height of California's mining era. Tucked among the pines sits an approximately 615-square-foot historic mining cabin dating back to the early 1900s. Rich with character and history, the cabin is in need of substantial restoration or replacement, making this an ideal project for someone who appreciates preserving the past or creating something entirely new. Whether you're a mining enthusiast, historian, investor, off-grid adventurer, or simply someone searching for one of California's truly rare properties, opportunities like this seldom reach the market.
