475 Old Hatchery Road

Description

The two parcels in this offering have some 45 acres of beautiful meadows and the balance of the acreage is conifer forest. Back in the early 1900's the old Feather River Fish Hatchery was located on this 83-acre parcel due to the abundance of water. A creek that flows through this parcel was also selected to be restored by the Feather River Watershed Restoration Committee in 2009. The restoration improved aquatic and riparian habitat and help slow erosion. A "pond and plug type of construction was used, making several attractive ponds to slow the water flow during heavy snow-melt runoff. 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. The old hatchery buildings were served by electricity and telephone utilities and the service poles are still on site. Come build your dream mountain hideaway near the destination resort communities of Whitehawk Ranch and Graeagle with their many outdoor recreational opportunities. An 82 acres with a farmhouse is also available.
