Private Lake & A-Frame Cabins on 160 Acres
Fort Bidwell, Modoc County, California
Offered at $1,250,000

Located in the Warner Mountains of northeastern California, this remarkable 160-acre property offers a rare combination of privacy, water, timber, and functional improvements in a truly remote alpine setting. The land is well timbered with ponderosa pine, white fir, cedar, and scattered aspen groves that follow the natural streams and springs running through the property. Wildlife is abundant in this area, with mule deer, black bear, mountain lion, beaver, bald eagles, upland birds, and waterfowl all part of the surrounding landscape.

At the center of the property is an approximately 10-acre private alpine lake stocked with three self-sustaining trout species. In addition to outstanding fishing, the lake is ideal for canoeing, kayaking, paddleboarding, swimming, and seasonal winter enjoyment. Water is one of the defining features here, with multiple natural springs and streams as well as approximately 20 acre-feet of water rights that support both the property’s ecosystem and its recreational appeal.

Improvements include a main A-frame cabin and two smaller A-frame cabins, all fully functional with domestic water and septic systems in place. The property is also connected to grid power through Surprise Valley Electric, providing reliable and affordable electricity in an otherwise private and secluded mountain setting. Whether you are looking for a recreational retreat, a family compound, or a long-term legacy holding, this property offers a combination that is increasingly difficult to find.

Bordering Modoc National Forest, the ranch enjoys direct access to expansive public land and long-term privacy. Despite its remote feel, it remains accessible from several major population centers, including approximately 4 hours from Reno, 5.5 hours from Sacramento, 6.5 hours from the San Francisco Bay Area, and 11 hours from Los Angeles.
