Greenhorn Creek 32 Acres
Recreational Mining Property
Quincy, Plumas County, CA
Off Market

This unique 32 acre parcel includes over a quarter mile of Greenhorn Creek. This land is located approximately 5 miles east of the alpine community of Quincy, CA, on Hwy 70. Hwy 70 bisects the property just to the north of the most desirable portion of the land where the creek runs through it. The property includes the patented mineral rights and has been a historic mining site for over a century.

There is good access to the creek off of Hwy 70. The topography is fairly steep but includes a beautiful half acre meadow on the south side of the creek and level areas along the creek corridor. The entire property has many trees including old growth pines. Gold Nuggets as large as 3.6 ounces were discovered on the property in the 1930s.

If you are a recreational mining enthusiast the property is perfect. If you enjoy fishing, hiking and other mountain activities you couldn’t ask for a better property, not only for the gold prospecting but also just enjoying the natural alpine beauty with a pristine mountain stream, trees, good location, etc.

This property has only had two owners since the late 1800s. The current owner purchased the property from the original owner in 1971.

Offered for sale for the first time in nearly 40 years for $250,000.
