Ten acres of Sierra foothill land on a well-maintained gravel road just minutes from Penn Valley and the South Yuba River, with three power poles at the property line and a cleared, level turnout already in place at the road. Bring your house plans: the front of the parcel is the buildable side, and the rolling hillside behind it opens up to valley views on either side.
This is a 10± acre residential parcel in western Nevada County, a few minutes from the South Yuba River — country quiet, but roughly 25 minutes from the shops, restaurants, and hospital in Grass Valley and Nevada City.
Access is the easy part. The parcel fronts a well-maintained gravel road with paved sections in front of the neighboring homes, nothing gated or blocking the entrance, and passable in a regular passenger car. Legal and physical access are both in place.
The land itself is flat at the roadside where a turnout has already been cleared, then rolls up into wooded hillside. That cleared front area is the natural building site — the front half of the parcel is where you'll want to build — and a footpath leads from the turnout to additional spots that could be opened up with some brush clearing and leveling. Climb a little higher and the main payoff shows itself: the parcel sits with valleys on both sides, so a well-placed home has real view potential.
Power is close: three electric poles sit on or at the property line, which takes a big line-extension cost off the table compared with most raw land in this price range. Water would be by well and sewer by septic — neighboring homes on the road are on wells, and the county confirms wells have been drilled in the area. No portion of the parcel is mapped in a floodzone, and there are no structures to demolish — just a clean slate with one small pile of debris near the north line that's easy to remove.
Then there's the location. Bridgeport and the South Yuba River State Park (swimming holes, the historic covered bridge, hiking) are a few minutes down the road. Englebright Lake and Lake Wildwood are close for boating and fishing. Penn Valley handles groceries and fuel about 10–15 minutes away, and Sacramento is roughly an hour and a quarter when you need the airport or the city. Tahoe and Truckee are a day-trip up I-80.
Residential zoning, HOA subdivision (buyer to verify CC&Rs and building requirements), and sold as-is. If you want to build in the foothills without paying foothill-lot prices, come see what ten acres in western Nevada County looks like.
