Ten acres of Sierra foothill land on a well-maintained gravel road just minutes from Penn Valley and the South Yuba River, with power adjacent, and a cleared, level turnout already in place at the road. This is a 10 acre residential parcel in western Nevada County, a few minutes from the South Yuba River country quiet. Its roughly 25 minutes from the shops, restaurants, and hospital in Grass Valley and Nevada City. The land itself is flat at the roadside where a turnout has already been cleared, then rolls up into wooded hillside. That cleared front area is the natural building site the front half of the parcel is where you'll want to build and a footpath leads from the turnout to additional spots that could be opened up with some brush clearing and leveling. Climb a little higher and the main payoff shows itself: the parcel sits with valleys on both sides, so a well-placed home has real view potential. Bridgeport and the South Yuba River State Park (swimming holes, the historic covered bridge, hiking) are a few minutes down the road. Englebright Lake and Lake Wildwood are close for boating and fishing. Penn Valley handles groceries and fuel about 10-15 minutes away.

Your Sierra Foothills Story Starts Here Picture this: a craftsman retreat tucked beneath towering pines, stone and cedar shake blending seamlessly into the Sierra Nevada foothills. A wraparound stone walkway leads you past hydrangeas and Japanese maples to a covered porch, where a hand-hewn timber entry welcomes you home. The soft murmur of a stone fountain greets you at the door. Inside, warm light spills from oversized windows onto rustic wood beams this is more than a house, it's a feeling. This is the vision waiting to be realized on a stunning 4.08+/- acre parcel in the coveted Cement Hill neighborhood of Nevada City, CA. With no HOA or restrictive covenants, the only limit is your imagination. Whether you bring this exact craftsman dream to life or chart your own architectural path, this blank canvas is ready for you. Here, mornings mean birdsong and dappled sunlight through mature pines. Evenings mean stargazing from your own porch, miles from city noise but never far from what matters. And when the mountains call, you're just an hour from Lake Tahoe's alpine waters, and 2.5 hours from the energy of San Francisco. Land like this private, buildable, and beautifully positioned doesn't come along often. Bring your vision. This is where it begins.
