Weaverville, California
Seeking retirement real estate, ranch lands, affordable riverfront properties, or secluded cabin communities in California? Or maybe you just wanna find th closest county park, nearest waterfall, mountain bike or hiking trails near your city. Anyone who wants to relocate to the California (or the lovely backcountry), this is the space for you.
This relocation blog is my search for the ultimate rural destinations in Northern California. Of course, most of us will need high-speed internet connection, to be able to work from home. I hear from a very reputable local source that the small community of Weaverville, CA does have DSL in town' & other outlying areas, like Lewiston, have wireless internet available.

Home prices here can start below $200k, but it will be a shack or tiny fixer upper. You can find a small home in town for under $300k and a home with land for under $400k. There is plenty raw land available, but you may need to run electricity to it; plus dig a well for water & install a septic system.If you plan to build, price out everything ahead of time - not only the home build cost, but septic, drilling a well, solar options, lot grading, driveway paving, tree removal, and numerous unforeseen expenses. Visit the county clerk to gather more info on building a home in the area you are investigating.
Small town California could be waiting for you.

The infamous Downieville Classic is the big annual race for mountain bikers. A huge event for the small historic town.

Home prices here are almost as high as neighboring Grass Valley & Nevada City, but you are much more remote in this location. Winters can be harsh with snow, ice, power outages and road closures. Smog from the Central Valley may not reach you tucked way back here and the Sacramento heat & bad traffic will be non-existent. Tourists traffic is abundant in summer, and overwhelming sometimes. Seasonal recreation like fishing, hunting, cross country skiing, snowmobiling bring locals here all year long.
