Rare 40-Acre Trinity County Retreat with Exceptional Water Resources! Tucked just three miles above Mad River and accessed by a paved forestry road (Hastings Tie Rd), this remarkable 40-acre parcel offers privacy, accessibility, and a setting that is tranquil. Bordering vast forestry land, this is among the last privately owned properties this far up the mountain—creating a true sense of seclusion while remaining conveniently located just 13 miles from Ruth Lake. With sunny southern exposure and a diverse landscape of oak, maple, madrone, and fir, the land has been thoughtfully improved with recent oak woodland restoration, enhancing both usability and long-term health of the forest. Multiple seasonal creeks wind through the property, including a substantial creek that runs strong during the wet season, along with additional smaller drainages. What truly sets this property apart is its exceptional water potential. Several natural springs flow year-round, and the land sits atop a known aquiferan increasingly valuable and rare feature in this region. For the right buyer, the abundant water resources open the door to a wide range of possibilities, from farming and homesteading to future water-based ventures (buyer to verify all uses). Surrounded by pristine nature and neighboring a well-known spring water operation, this is a one-of-a-kind opportunity for those who recognize the long-term value of land, water, and location. Previously appraised higher and now offered below that value, this property represents a rare chance to secure a truly special piece of Trinity County.
