California Properties and Land - Oak Run CA - Year Round Clover Creek--I've had a beautiful land listing for some time. I helped the owner find a new 40 acre parcel on Cow Creek along Highway 299 heading East out of Redding. He had bought 12 acres up in Oak Run. The property was recreational property which means "off the grid" and had a beautiful year round creek running through it. It even has trout and while small...they were beautiful. Well they loved the property and made a point of being there every other weekend. They graded a nice road into the property and brought in "road base" and parked their "fifth wheel" and life was good until one day they were "red tagged" by the County. It seems that you cannot have a trailer or fifth wheel on the property more than two weeks a year.......WHAT....he was stunned and so was I when I heard his story.
And so began a long and tedious ordeal with the County. The result is he bought another parcel farther to the North and intends to build a cabin. They had a "little bit of heaven" and now they'll have a "bigger piece of heaven". Well, anyway we are still marketing and trying to sell the original 12 acres. We showed it this past Friday to an agent and her clients. So here are some photos of Clover Creek, Zig Zag Road and the surrounding area. It's really beautiful county. It's a very close community and most people are "off the grid" and they love it....self-sustainability sounds pretty good about right now!
Here's my sign at the juncture of Oak Run Road and Zig Zag. My sign has now changed to a Coldwell Banker sign. Trees are the best place to put your sign...up high where it can not be gotten to. Sometimes people like to make the signs "go missing". Oak Run is a place where "Privacy" is appreciated. It's a sweet and close community of good people!
New and Improved sign for Zig Zag.....took us forever to find it the first time.
Here's the old sign. I have odometer readings and distances for Agents so they can be precise about finding the property.
I love this sign....it's posted all up and down Zig Zag....and while it is a good road (wash board, hard pan) it is dusty and children do play near by and pets get to run free....so this is the proper speed if not slower.
View from Zig Zag looking South. This is at about the 2000 elevation mark.
This is Clover Creek at the end of Summer and beginning of Fall prior to the raining season. This will be a wild and raging stream in the Spring.
Another view of the Clover Creek from the bridge.
Solor array. Most everyone in Oak Run is on Solar with back up generator. Pretty cool actually!
Back view of the array!
California Properties and Land - Oak Run CA - Year Round Clover Creek--I'll leave you with a view to the Southeast and very pretty country. Oak Run is a wonderful community of people where you still can have some freedom, at least until the County comes calling! Oh and by the way, if you know anyone that would love to be on a year round trout stream....send 'em my way!
