OWNER MAY CARRY WITH $100K DOWN! A TRULY RARE OPPORTUNITY to own a remarkable piece of Butte County history with this rare 20-acre property located in the rugged beauty of Little Butte Creek Canyon near Paradise. Surrounded by dramatic canyon scenery, abundant sunshine, natural springs, and impressive views, the land provides a peaceful and secluded setting with several potential building sites for an off-grid getaway, recreational retreat, or future homestead. The canyon environment is home to abundant wildlife and offers endless opportunities to explore, hike, camp, and enjoy the natural beauty of the area. Historic mine workings and tunnel entrances remain on the property, providing a glimpse into the area's storied mining past and adding to its distinctive character. The mine workings are currently not accessible and would require improvements and restoration efforts by a future owner. Accompanying the surface acreage are approximately 250± acres of patented mineral rights, creating a truly unique opportunity for outdoor enthusiasts, history buffs, prospectors, and those seeking a private mountain retreat. Historically associated with the Mineral Slide Mine and situated near the well-known Lucky John Mine, this property offers a fascinating connection to California's rich Gold Rush heritage. Buyers are encouraged to investigate the condition of the mine, mineral rights, access rights, development potential, and any intended future uses of the property. Located approximately four miles from the nearest paved road, access is via a private, rugged roadway with four-wheel drive recommended. The property is situated behind a locked gate, and all showings must be accompanied by a licensed real estate agent. Despite its secluded setting, the property remains within reasonable proximity to the conveniences of Paradise while offering the privacy and tranquility that are increasingly difficult to find. Whether you're searching for a private recreational property, an off-grid escape, a unique piece of California mining history, or a scenic mountain parcel to enjoy for generations, this one-of-a-kind canyon property presents an extraordinary opportunity to own a truly special piece of the Paradise Ridge.
