Additionally, some of the upper portions of the property's west side have been professionally trimmed & thinned, which increases the acreage's usability AND aesthetics. You will not find any other El Dorado County acreages available with these nice attributes. Ah, another plus for you is that, unlike many land offerings, good seller private financing is available to nicely assist you with your purchase here. ***** Last year, the seller's surveyor mapped the entire property, and found the parcel to be 191+ acres, so then we sold the Eastern 78.8 acres last Summer for $475,000.
