27.9 Acres tucked into the peaceful Sugar Pine Lake Recreation Area with access from county-maintained Big Dipper Road, this beautiful off-grid property offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of the mountains with a story to tell. Once enjoyed by the current owners as children, the property has been left to nature and is now wonderfully overgrown, creating an adventurous landscape waiting to be discovered. Explore old roads meandering through the forest, a ridge with beautiful views, and an approximately 5-acre meadow that was historically the site of a community garden in the 1800s. Remnants of days gone by include a black walnut, cherry tree and other established trees, along with the site of a home originally built in 1913. Family memories tell of a spring once piped to a horse trough in the meadow and a small pond where children swam, features that may offer intriguing possibilities for the next steward of this remarkable land.
