Water. California was once known for its gold. Now it is said that California's new gold is water. And this property has several sources of water:
1. The Water Well. A water well has been professionally installed on the property, offering a secure and dependable water source for future development. This is a significant improvement and cost savings for the next owner, as the expense and uncertainty of drilling has already been taken care of. The well is in place and ready to support your residential construction and simply ensure a reliable water supply for your dream home.
In Auburn, where acreage properties are highly desirable, having a dedicated water well already established tremendous value. Buyers can move forward with confidence knowing that water access is available on-site, avoiding the long wait times and potential risks that often come with new drilling. This improvement makes the property truly turn-key ready for anyone looking to build or invest.
2. Two-Inch Water Line. The property has a Nevada Irrigation District ("NID") box in the Dudley Canal. The plumbing has been brought into the property via 2 inch PVC. The two inch water line resides near the Southeast corner (near the above water well). Per NID the property is able to have one-half of a “Minors Inch” of water per acre of land, thus four (4) Minors Inches of water. (Please note that a Minor's Inch of water is equal to 11.22 gallons per minute, or 1.5 cubic feet per minute, over a 24-hour period.)
3. Eight-Inch Water Line. There is also a eight-inch prescriptive NID water pipeline ("penstock") that is in the Southern setback of the property. The eight-inch water pipeline water could be sourced in exchange for land use. There is also trail access to the water via water box on the hillside trail (see video in the "Views & More tab). There is six to eight (6 to 8) Minors Inches (approximately 90 gallons per minute) of water in this pipeline per NID.
4. Free Flowing Stream. The above indicated penstock opens at the bottom of property and travels on the western edge end of the property into a large collection pond. Please note that the pond is not on the property but the water traveling to the pond is.
5. The Seasonal Creek. Lastly, there is also a small seasonal creek that flows on the property both down the hillside and to the bottom of the property.
Perc & Mantle Approved. The property has already been Perc and Mantle tested and approved, meaning it is ready for the installation of a septic system. This is a major milestone in the building process, as septic approval confirms the land can legally and effectively support residential development. For buyers, this translates into significant time and cost savings, no waiting on county testing, no uncertainty about soil conditions, and no delays when you’re ready to build.
In today’s market, having Perc and Mantle already completed is a tremendous advantage. It clears one of the biggest hurdles for developing acreage property, giving you peace of mind and allowing you to move forward with your home plans immediately. Whether you envision a custom estate, a vacation retreat, or a long-term investment property, this approval adds value, convenience, and certainty to your purchase.
Power. There are three possible sources of power on the property.
1. Power Pole. Power is ready and waiting, a utility pole sits right at the driveway, making it simple and cost-effective to bring electricity directly onto the property.
2. Solar. A terrace on the western downhill side will also allow for new solar arrays. If your solar arrays are not affixed to your residence, you can use commercial solar arrays to harness the suns energy.
3. Hydroelectric. Lastly, and not as commonly recognized, the eight-inch water pipeline (known as a penstock) has the potential to harness a tremendous amount of energy. A utility-scale micro-hydro system captures the kinetic energy of moving water in the penstock and directs it through a turbine. As water flows across the turbine, its kinetic energy is converted into mechanical energy, which in turn spins a generator rotor to produce electricity. That electricity is then stored in batteries, similar to a solar system.
Unlike solar, however, this hydro system operates continuously as long as water is flowing, making it a very reliable, around-the-clock source of power. It is also the most cost-effective energy solution available for the property.
High-Speed Internet. The property is equipped with fiber optic high-speed internet access right at the driveway, ensuring that you are fully connected from day one. In today’s world, reliable internet is no longer a luxury, it’s a necessity for work, education, entertainment, and communication. With lightning-fast speeds and dependable service, this feature allows you to work remotely, stream content, run a home-based business, or support smart-home technologies with ease.
In semi-rural communities, dependable internet can often be a challenge. Having fiber optic service already in place eliminates that concern entirely. Whether you’re a professional seeking seamless video conferencing, a family with multiple connected devices, or an investor looking to attract future tenants or buyers, this amenity adds tremendous value to the property. It’s a forward-thinking improvement that ensures your lifestyle and your investment, stays connected to the modern world.
The Private Driveway. The property enjoys a substantial setback from China Well Road, with its own dedicated driveway thoughtfully positioned between two neighboring parcels. (Importantly, this is not an easement, it is part of the property’s intentional design.) At the entrance along China Well Road, you can install a private gate, creating both security and peace of mind. This layout ensures that your home remains secluded, with no risk of unwanted traffic or vehicles passing in front of your residence. The combination of setback, driveway orientation, and gated entry would make this property a true private retreat, perfect for those who value accessibility, privacy and exclusivity.
The Hillside Trail to the Water box. Adding to the property’s functionality and charm, a well-designed trail with gentle switchbacks provides convenient access to a water box, located midway down the hillside (again see video in the "Views & More" tab). This pathway not only ensures ease of maintenance but also creates a unique opportunity to experience the land itself. As you walk the trail, you’ll enjoy the natural terrain, native vegetation, beautiful outcroppings yielding a unique aesthetic, and peaceful surroundings, making it feel as much like a private nature walk as it is a utility access. It’s a small but meaningful feature that blends practicality with the property’s outdoor lifestyle appeal.
The above can be verified by the buyer.
