One quiet, beautiful acre on Lewis Road, one of the most desirable close-in “country” neighborhoods of Nevada City:
One mile to downtown – easy walk to Saturday Farmers Market, the post office, banking, restaurants, movies and shopping.
Great neighborhood, lots of walkers, two organic farms close by, very quiet
Beautiful mature landscape juxtaposed against lots of natural beauty – cedars, pines, and black oaks… landscaped areas served by commercial grade auto sprinklers run by top of the line controller with multiple settings possible.
