Mostly level 12.04 acres, agricultural land in the heart of historic French Coral. During the mid 1800's and early 1900's, this parcel was once where horses and cattle were watered, boarded and fed before making the trip 2 miles down this hill to Bridgeport, where they were herded across the long covered bridge that still spans the Yuba River. Located at the corners of Pleasant Valley Rd at High Street, in the center of the old town with PG&E power right at the corner of this property. Remnants of a bygone area are still visible today, with old palm trees, the deep spring fed pond pipes leading from the pond to a couple areas that once fed into horse troffs, etc. This perfect parcel for ag use with plenty of native grasses for grazing large animals. New well was recently drilled and capped as seen in the pictures.
