Moose, elk, and mule deer call the property home, and the high mountain peaks hold mountain goats and even more wildlife. You can hunt the mountain slopes or just hike, take pictures, and enjoy the wildlife both below and above the tree line. The spruce, fir, and pine forests here provide cover and shade for your property, the streams, rivers, and lakes, and the wildlife that live here. Being up at the higher elevations where the property sits, it's cooler here than down in the valley bottoms in the summer. And the cool splashing waters of the river and the shade of the trees all around you will provide even more comfort from those hot summer days. This is strictly an off-the-grid recreational property for summer and fall use, as it's way back in the mountains on a mountain road, and gets too much snow for year-round living. In fact, there is a deed restriction that prevents anyone from living here year-round and prohibits mobile homes and similar structures to preserve the area's recreational nature. And utilities are miles away, back down at Mammoth. It’s certainly possible to snowmobile in during the winter and spring months to visit your property and the cabin you built for Christmas or New Year’s, or a few weeks or weekends in between. It’ll be that happy place you go for peace and solitude, and you won’t want to leave once you get there. Where can you find a property like this with South Boulder River frontage bordering the National Forest with a leveled cabin site in the forest and such amazing fishing opportunities, hunting, and mountains right outside your legacy property? The answer is right here. This opportunity isn’t one you’ll want to miss or regret not taking advantage of.
