Description

This is a 23 acre original town site of grizzly flats founded in 1850 featured in a book called fire in sierra nevada forests: a photographic interpretation of ecological change. sits on the old wheeler mine with oar cart tracks and a stamp mill foundation still there. crystals pop up after winter rains that we pick up off the ground. two ponds - a 3 acre and the other is a 1 acre, both with their own islands. there is an rv with a deck, as well as container sheds. the land stores 10 million gallons of appropriative water rights to be used for the owners beneficial use. with appropriative (unlike riparian) rights the water can be appropriated elsewhere. i have placed about 800 tons of asphalt grindings on the roads for year round access to the main part of the property. the ponds are stocked with bass, blue gill, and perch, and catfish, as well as frogs, turtles, etc. the pond water tests excellent and shows no common contaminants including mercury or iron outside of the safe zones. there is a shared water meter. this ranch for the right person is a utopia in the sierra nevada's at the edge of civilization. you see, they stop plowing snow at the creek. however, leoni meadows plows to their property, but its the last stand in the winter and 1 lot from the usfs or blm.
