Want to escape the valley heat? Head for 6,000 feet, where temperatures are typically 20 degrees cooler and the mountains become your backyard. This rare offering includes two lots totaling just over 1/3 acre, bordering state park and custom homes. Surrounded by trees, wildlife, and four distinct seasons, this is the kind of setting where your future cabin or mountain home can become the launch point for weekends filled with snow, trails, water, and wide-open adventure. A snow-plowed road provides access, and a separate access road allows your future home to sit back off the main road among the trees for added privacy and seclusion. Step outside and hit hiking and biking trails right from your back door, then head just minutes away to Isabella Lake, the famous Kern River, Kernville, or the Alta Sierra Ski Lift. Spend the day fishing, rafting, tubing, swimming, skiing, or exploring the mountains, including day trips to the Trail of a Hundred Giants, waterfalls, and countless opportunities to get outside and go.

About Alta
Sierra
Alta Sierra, located between Grass Valley and Lake of the Pines, is a wooded and hillside Nevada County neighborhood with winding mountain roads and golf-course greens. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Alta Sierra Country Club clubhouse and the fairway-lined streets nearby, where carts, pines, and porch lights set the tempo. Architecture leans toward 1970s–1990s mountain contemporaries and updated cabins with broad decks and tall windows. Trailheads and quiet lanes frame a routine built around walks, rides, and seasonal color in the trees. A short drive links to Grass Valley’s historic core for coffee, books, and live music. Local pillars include Alta Sierra Country Club, The Center for the Arts, and Booktown Books.
