This property is one of the Original 100 California Historical Landmarks - California Historical Landmark #98, Keyesville California. This is the gold town that started the Southern California Gold Rush in 1853. 4.5 acres with modern residence and a few of the gold-rush era buildings still dot the property. Large Granite & Bronze California Historical Landmark #98 Monument sits at the entrance, dedicated in 1937. Sotheby's just sold a banana taped to a wall for 6.2M - owning an "original 100" registered California historical landmark townsite with a home and historical buildings? Priceless. Absolutely stunning 360 degree see-forever views from all points on the property. Build a second home here, expand what is already here, whatever you can dream up - zoned A so you can do pracctically anything you like. No neighbors, star-filled dark skies at night. Paved / maintained 2 mile road that bears the town's name leads to the property. Property-wide fire protection lines & huge water storage tanks filled with free-forever crystal-clear fire-fighting and drinking water from your own Sierra Mountain springs. Modern plumbing takes it right to your home faucets and bathroom - bathe in sierra spring water each night, heated with instant-on endless hot water heater. Fill your hot tub under the milky way at night. Grid power (last stop on the line) with 220V and 110V power for all your needs with 3 separate Edison power meters so you can separate your bills to your future tenants, granny flats etc. 3 RV pads each w separate septic systems. Full shop in the 1800's merchantile building comes with many tools, and everything you need to maintain a large property with many buildings is here and comes with the sale - too much to list. In a market saturated with 'unique opportunities,' here is something truly singular - your chance to own one of the first 100 California Historical Landmark properties (most are state owned), and live here or use as your Sierra Mountain getaway retreat. See 'virtual tour' for a website with many more photos and Keyesville's wild-west history.
