Portola CA Real Estate & Land for Sale

This ranch contains a rare combination of forest, meadows, live-water, and mountain views in a private alpine setting. The old Feather River Fish Hatchery was located on this 83-acre section of the ranch. The two parcels in this offering have some 45 acres of beautiful meadows and the balance of the acreage is conifer forest. The site once included a large hatchery building, three small cabins, and some outbuildings. Most of these structures have collapsed over the years but there are a couple still standing including a two-bedroom cabin that may be worth restoring. The cabin is not currently habitable. A creek that flows through the ranch was selected to be restored by the Feather River Watershed Restoration Committee in 2009. The restoration improved aquatic and riparian habitat and help slow erosion, making several attractive ponds. Located just minutes from Graeagle and Lakes Basin for endless outdoor recreation.
