Most vacant land listings offer trees. This one offers water. Set on 6.5 acres in Cascade Shores Lot 20, Unit 3, this parcel features a private year-round pond, a rare find in Nevada County and an amenity that immediately sets this property apart from competing parcels. The land showcases everything buyers love about the Sierra foothills: towering pines, mixed conifers, granite outcroppings, and open sandy areas that create multiple possibilities for a future homesite, recreation, or simply enjoying the beauty and privacy of the setting. Surrounded by similarly sized parcels and offering paved county road frontage on two sides, the property feels peaceful, spacious, and well-positioned for future use. Unlike many raw land offerings, key infrastructure is already in place. Power is accessible, NID water serves the community, and the sellers have already paid into the Nevada County Sanitation District, providing the option for future sewer hookup. No HOA but you have access to Cascade Shores amenities. Lost Mine Lake, the community's spring-fed recreation area with picnic grounds, volleyball courts, restrooms, and parking, is practically next door. Scotts Flat Reservoir is just minutes away for boating, fishing, and outdoor recreation. Historic downtown Nevada City, known for its restaurants, breweries, galleries, and year-round events, is approximately 15 minutes away. Ski resorts along Interstate 80 are less than an hour from the property, and Lake Tahoe's North Shore is within easy reach. Finding 6.5 acres with a year-round pond, community water, paved access, and future sewer availability at this price point is becoming increasingly difficult. Whether you're planning to build, invest, or secure a recreational retreat, this property offers a combination of natural beauty, utility, and scarcity that is hard to replicate.
