Description
Nestled in the pine-covered hills of Colfax, California, this 12.6-acre property offers peace, privacy, and endless potential. The land is beautifully forested with mature pines and gentle slopes, creating a serene mountain atmosphere that feels worlds away from city life, yet remains conveniently close to town. A private driveway winds through the trees, leading to a 4-bedroom, 2-bath home that’s ready for renovation. With some TLC, this home could be transformed into a cozy full-time residence, vacation retreat, or income-producing rental. The setting invites creativity—expand the existing home, build view decks, or design outdoor living areas that take full advantage of the natural beauty that surrounds you.
Below the property runs the historic Union Pacific Railroad line, a reminder of the region’s rich past and connection to the early days of Sierra travel. The land’s topography slopes gently toward the tracks, offering potential vantage points for scenic overlooks, gardens, or future improvements. The tranquil sound of the forest and the distant echo of a train create a nostalgic backdrop unlike any other.
Perfectly positioned for those who love the outdoors, this property lies about 17 miles from Auburn, 52 miles from Sacramento, 80 miles from Reno, and roughly 60 miles from Lake Tahoe. Whether you’re heading to the slopes, the lake, or the city, all are within easy reach—yet when you return home, the only thing you’ll hear is the whisper of the wind through the pines. This is a rare opportunity to own a private slice of Sierra foothill beauty, ready to restore and reimagine into something truly special. Adjacent 2.5 acres available for sale.
