As a specialist in riverfront property, I am so excited to announce this incredible and rare opportunity!  Most desirable riverfront properties in our country were long ago purchased, split up, and built upon by the first humans to see these gorgeous settings.  This means that for those who wish to build their dream homes on a beautiful river in this decade, there is almost no untouched land left, and your purchase options usually include someone else's 30-year old dream home that you will either have to extensively remodel or tear down before you can realize your own dreams.  Therefore, it is a rare and wonderful day when an untouched, pristine, stunning piece like this comes to the market!

I don't use my adjectives lightly - this property lives up to everything I could possibly say about it and then some!  This very, very special property sits on the pristine upper Trinity River.  From the expansive Shooting Star Meadow (featuring the elusive giant “Jeffrey’s Shooting Star”) to the in-your-face views of the snow-capped Trinity alps, to NEARLY HALF A MILE OF TRINITY RIVER FRONTAGE, the only stress you'll have here is deciding where to build your dream home!

It is very private with easy year-around access and approximately 12 miles from the Trinity Center Airport .  Alfalfa has been grown here previously, and the current owner has a successful private vineyard nearby – what’s your dream crop?  In addition to your valuable riparian rights, there is a substantial water supply from year round seep from the west slope of Ramshorn Mt.   Zoned 10-acre minimum, this 25-acres provides many exciting options, and the owner will consider financing the purchase.

The expansive meadow is called "Shooting Star Meadow" because the blue flowers that you see in the photographs are "giant" shooting stars. There are two types of shooting star wildflowers up here, one small and one large. The small one is called "Henderson's Shooting Star" and the large one is "Jeffrey's Shooting Star". Both grow on the property, but the spectacular profusion in May and early June is the large "Jeffrey's Shooting Star".

There are multiple building sites and electricity at the property. There are many riverfront sites that are available for building that are not in the floodplain. In addition the property has a large park like elevated, wooded "bench" around a large portion of the property. This is not a narrow strip, but a large, flat, build-able area that could contain multiple building sites.

The current owner envisioned a home elevated over the meadow at one point with a cantilevered deck over the meadow looking straight at the Trinity Alps.  The closest mountains are Billy's Peak and the adjacent Sawtooth Ridge.

One of the uses this property had in years past was to grow alfalfa. The current owner has had an "experimental" vineyard nearby for the past 5 or 6 years using cuttings supplied by Alpen Cellars (the local winery). They are growing Chardonnay, Gewurztraminer and Riesling grapes with good success.

Even without the extensive river frontage, this would be a special piece, but adding nearly 1/2 mile of frontage on the beautiful Trinity River increases its value tenfold.  The property enjoys riparian rights to water from the Trinity River, and in addition, there is plentiful seep from the west slope of Ramshorn Mt. that feeds a year round stream on the property. The meadow is equipped with old gravity irrigation ditches that are currently in disrepair. If these ditches were cleaned out and gates were provided, the entire meadow could be gravity irrigated on a year round basis.

Besides fly fishing and swimming, another fun use of your nearly 1/2 mile of Trinity river is panning for gold!  Of course we can't guarantee you'll strike it rich, but this activity is very popular in Trinity County - click here for GOLD PANNING information.
