I just wanted to say thank you for putting videos together for your land listings John, I find them helpful and appreciate your time and efforts. There are some harsh critics below... don't let that discourage your direction. I think these videos will pay dividends and they are entertaining and informative to boot. I like this lot and the area, but would be interested in a $75,000 price point without further improvements.
Thank you so much, that means a lot. Yes, so many haters out there, very sad. I will keep up my positive humorous vib because that is me. Maybe we'll get a price change in the future?
@MountainValleyRE John, I look forward to the opportunity if the price comes down into my range of interest. In the meantime, keep up the cool videos. It is surely good for business.
if your boss gave this land ti sell he must not like you ------ Oh just for your information those rock walls all over in that area were built by Chinese labor over 150 years ago -- not the guy that owns it -- bet you your next pay check....... Those rock walls you can find from Chico north ! Do your home work!
@ 7:02 Have you Considered Geting ( & Using ) " a Camera Drone " ? ! It would " Save A Lot of Time & Energy " ! And " Leave More Time " if you & the Viewers Wish " to Show More Features " !
Ya, but then you are looking down and not getting a great topography prospective. I will consider it if I get more people wanting it anyway. I can't talk while its flying, not sure if that is what people like. Thank you for the comment.
BTW Based on my research of recently sold lots in the area, it appears that the value for undeveloped land with water access is more ~$900 to $1,000 per acre. However, the much more attractive area for building is nearby in Cottonwood, where lots with access to electricity, sewer, and water start at $500 and range up to $10,000, with waterfront graded lots fetching as much as $30,000. It's hard to imagine why anyone would choose to buy land here, where there is no water, and a septic tank, year-round generators, and solar panels are necessary. Given the slope, lack of streams running through the property, and rocky terrain, I still believe this 40-acre parcel is more realistically valued closer to $500 per acre than $3,000/acre. BTW, not interested in this land. But if you have something which actually has power lines so as to get a mortgage for the development loan, I will pay more attention.
Hi there, are you referring to the lots in Lake California by chance? If so, just be aware of the HOA dues ($85 per month I believe) and heavy CCRS there, super restrictive and these are very small lots. You can't even change your oil or work on your car at your own house/property there. It is a gated community with a check in guard at the entrance. This is why those lots are so "cheap." That being said, it depends on what your goals are with a property. You won't be hunting on the Lake California lots. There is a guy in this area who has a vineyard set up, so that is a possibility. I have heard from past sellers that the water is plentiful but you have to drill deep. You could raise cattle here as it is open range, or set up a ranch and use solar for power, lots of open sunshine for it too. It really just depends on what each persons goals area. The seller is open to looking at all offers for anyone who is interested in the property.
If you want to, you can get a loan on 40 acres OFF GRID with 30% down and a 15 year fixed at 8.25% as of today according to Access Mortgage here locally in Redding, CA. Thank you for your comment, I appreciate it.
It appears that the same seller has another lot up the road, and the pictures of that lot and this one are mixed together. The pricing on their other lot is questionable, starting at around $23,000 and then being "sold" at increasingly higher prices without ever being listed, reaching as high as $147,000. It seems that no one is genuinely interested in these lots, except for those hoping to find a greater fool to buy them. The volcanic rocks present a significant and costly challenge to excavate. Many lots in the area have been on and off the market for over 20 years, with no evidence of legitimate sales. I did find a nearby property on Buffalo that is twice the size and already has a permitted well, which sold for approximately $2,000 per acre in 2024. However, the buyer may not have been aware of the well's flow rates or failed to test it and may have been misled by the seller's story about why they didn't ultimately build. The well cap looks rusty and was never tapped beyond that cap. This lot doesn't even have a functional permitted well. In my honest opinion, I would appraise it at around $20,000. The value could be higher if they had a functional well with sufficient flow. John has his work cut out for him trying to sell this subpar land at that price. If he manages to find a buyer at that asking price, I'll gladly send him a case of beer. Cheers!
I spoke with the seller about having another lot for sale. He says this is the only parcel he owns, so I'm not sure where you are getting your information from. I don't use other agents photos as I do all my own work. There are plenty of legitimate sales in this area. Here is one from 2023 from Zillow as I can't share links from our MLS. www.zillow.com/homedetails/1234-Aoudad-Dr-Anderson-CA-96007/2058948521_zpid/
No fake noises here. The creek is flowing slowly. The sound is where the creek water channels under the bridge/road and drops in elevation quickly. What would I gain by faking it, it is a seasonal creek anyway as I stated? You can hear the creek again a when I walk across it a little later in the video.

Give you two cents. That's a lot more than it's worth

Geesh ridiculous amount of rocks! I wonder what kind they are? ❤
Lava rock? Found answer at 17 minute mark, thanks
Yes, they are volcanic rock from Mount Tehama when it erupted about 600,000 years ago.

Why the fake noise of the stream?? Horrible editing.
No fake noises here. The creek is flowing slowly. The sound is where the creek water channels under the bridge/road and drops in elevation quickly. What would I gain by faking it, it is a seasonal creek anyway as I stated? You can hear the creek again a when I walk across it a little later in the video.
California. Lol
