12.99 Acres with a 180 Lake Oroville View - Less Than a Mile to the Boat Launch Come up the private gated road, shared with three other owners, and the first thing you notice is how quiet it gets. Out here you'll cross paths with more deer and turkeys than people. It's thirteen wooded acres of mountainside, covered in black oak, madrone, cedar, and pine, all of it leaning toward Lake Oroville. The view opens up nearly 180 degrees across the water, and the boat launch sits less than a mile down the road, close enough that a day on the lake never turns into a production. The land climbs in three terraced pads, each one set into the mountainside a little higher than the last, each one trading up for a better look at the lake. There's room for a large garage at the bottom pad for boat storage (I had a permit for it years ago that has since expired), and the top two levels would make a great building site, with the best views on the property. Near the heart of it is a little cabin, about a hundred square feet, that friends have always just called "The Shack." Two small rooms, a bedroom and a bathroom, with running water, a sink, a flush toilet, and a propane water heater that feeds an outdoor shower. The bed sits right at window level facing the lake, so you wake up to that view in the morning and can watch the wildlife. Step outside and there's a covered outdoor kitchen and a concrete paver patio, a spot made for kicking back in a lawn chair with the lake in front of you, or making s'mores around the campfire after the sun goes down. The whole property runs off the grid, which makes it great for short stays. There's a well and a two-bedroom septic system, and the water is gravity-fed from a 1,500-gallon tank set above the main building site. Fill the tank with the pump and you've got constant water pressure until it runs out, with no generator running in the background. It's set up to enjoy as-is right now, and it's just as ready to become the off-grid home you build later. The wildlife doesn't disappoint. Deer, wild turkeys, quail, bald eagles, osprey, and more, you'll see all of it out here. A few honest notes: four-wheel drive is advised, and is required if you want to pull a trailer up the hill. The property comes with the generator and a 20-foot metal storage container. Owner financing may be possible.
