About 27999 Big Dipper Road
27.9 Acres tucked into the peaceful Sugar Pine Lake Recreation Area with access from county-maintained Big Dipper Road, this beautiful off-grid property offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of the mountains with a story to tell. Once enjoyed by the current owners as children, the property has been left to nature and is now wonderfully overgrown, creating an adventurous landscape waiting to be discovered. Explore old roads meandering through the forest, a ridge with beautiful views, and an approximately 5-acre meadow that was historically the site of a community garden in the 1800s. Remnants of days gone by include a black walnut, cherry tree and other established trees, along with the site of a home originally built in 1913. Family memories tell of a spring once piped to a horse trough in the meadow and a small pond where children swam, features that may offer intriguing possibilities for the next steward of this remarkable land. Surrounded by outstanding year-round recreation, enjoy nearby hiking, biking, hunting, kayaking and fishing. HOV trails are just a few miles away, China Wall offers winter cross-country skiing, and Foresthill roads lead to spectacular destinations including French Meadows and Hell Hole Reservoir. This is more than acreage, it is an opportunity to reconnect with the land, uncover its history, and create your own mountain legacy. Enjoy fresh air, peaceful surroundings, brilliant night skies and the privacy of a small rural mountain community. Come explore what nature has been quietly preserving.
