12998 Tyler Foote Rd, Nevada City, CA 95959

Imagine creating your own foothill retreat on 42.22 acres in the heart of Nevada County's Ridge community. Enjoy the privacy of a secluded mountain setting with a seasonal creek while remaining within walking distance of Mother Truckers Market and the local fire station. Just minutes from Oak Tree Community Park, and ideally situated between the Middle Fork and South Yuba River recreation areas. World-class swimming, hiking, mountain biking, fishing, and outdoor adventure are all within easy reach. Large, usable acreage with this combination of privacy, infrastructure, and location is increasingly difficult to find. At 42.22 acres, the property may also offer the potential to be divided into two legal parcels, creating additional flexibility for a future owner. Much of the groundwork has already been completed, including a productive well, an established driveway, and a large building pad positioned to capture expansive views of the surrounding forested ridge-lines and foothill landscape. Power lines run through the property giving easy access to hook up to electricity. The property has also benefited from extensive forest health and fuel reduction improvements completed through an NRCS-approved conservation program, enhancing accessibility, forest health, and long-term stewardship of the land. Custom home plans designed specifically for the site, along with prior county approvals, are available to a future owner, providing a valuable head start in the design and permitting process. Whether you envision a custom home, family compound, recreational getaway, or long-term investment, this rare Nevada County offering provides the space, improvements, and setting to bring that vision to life.
