About 1410 Bear View Drive
Welcome to your private 6.75-acre riverfront retreat at the end of the road, where privacy, natural beauty, and real usability come together. With over 300 feet of Bear River frontage, this property offers a rare opportunity to own a truly special stretch of river featuring waterfalls, rapids, deep pools, and exceptional seclusion. The land offers a mix of sloped terrain and multiple usable flat areas ideal for RVs, camping, or a future homesite. A paved asphalt driveway leads you in, and major infrastructure is already in place including a high-producing well, PG&E power, and a fully approved, pumped, and inspected septic system designed for a 4-bedroom, 3-bath home. A $60,000 pedestrian bridge crosses the Bear River Canal, connecting to an extensive network of established trails, intricate rock pathways, and a scenic viewing deck perched just above the water. Two established campsites near the river include water access and fire pits, creating the perfect setup for immediate enjoyment. The property features a seasonal creek, a lined pond with fish and a thriving ecosystem, and a large fenced, irrigated garden with established perennial crops including asparagus, thornless blackberry, artichoke, and strawberries. The costly removal of burned trees is mostly complete, and the predominantly oak forest is regenerating beautifully with new growth reaching up to 20 feet tall. The land continues to recover following the 2021 River Fire, which also allows for valuable county building concessions. Located just 3/4 mile from Colfax schools, 45 minutes to Sugar Bowl, and 45 minutes to Sacramento, this property offers the ideal balance of accessibility and escape. Surrounded by large parcels of protected land across the canyon, your privacy and views are here to stay. If you're looking for a build-ready property with unmatched river access and infrastructure already in place, this is a rare opportunity to create something truly special.
