for $1,500,000 with 1 bedroom and 1 full bath. This 1,000 square foot home was built on a lot size of 94.4.
Step into California history with this extraordinary opportunity to own the original land where the historic town of Brownsville once stood. Dating back to the 1800s, this remarkable 94-acre property is rich with character and heritage. Long before today, this site was home to a bustling hotel, sawmill, boarding houses, saloons, stores, and other structures that served as the heart of the community during the Gold Rush era. Today, the property offers an exceptional blend of history, natural beauty, and future potential. Nearly all 94 acres are level to gently rolling and highly usable, with a healthy stand of marketable timber and an impressive collection of majestic mature trees, including rare historic grove of American chestnut trees that continue to produce each season. The property includes two beautifully updated one-bedroom, one-bath homes, providing comfortable accommodations for owners, guests, or rental income. A magnificent century-old barn stands as a centerpiece of the property, preserving the craftsmanship and stories of generations past while offering endless possibilities for events, storage, or restoration. The expansive manicured grounds have hosted numerous community gatherings and feature charming period-style vignettes reminiscent of Brownsville's early days, including recreations of the town's historic saloon and general store. Every corner of the property reflects the rich legacy of this once-thriving settlement. Adding even more value is the property's commercial frontage, creating exceptional opportunities for a variety of ventures. Whether you envision an RV resort, event venue, boutique hospitality destination, agritourism business, wedding venue, or a one-of-a-kind private estate, the possibilities are truly remarkable (subject to county approval). Properties with this level of historical significance, usable acreage, multiple residences, commercial exposure, and development potential are exceptionally rare. Own a living piece of California history while creating the next chapter of one of Brownsville's most iconic landmarks.
