Owning one of the Original 100 California Historical Landmark Sites would be a rare feather in the cap indeed - here's your chance! California Historical Landmark #98 - Keyesville California, the wild-west gold town that started the S. California Gold Rush! Gold was struck here in the Southern Sierra Mountains in 1853 and Keyesville sprang up for the miners flocking here to seek their fortunes. The 4.5 acre townsite has a modern residence built from the original town post office and gold assayer's office. Other gold-era buildings dot the property, and the town graveyard lies a few hundred yards away on state land, where founders and notable residents lay with tombstone birthdates ranging back to the 1700's. Provenance anyone? The Granite & Bronze Historical Landmark Monument sits at the entrance, dedicated in 1937. Sotheby's just sold a banana taped to a wall for 6.2M - what might one of the original 100 California Historical Landmarks be worth? It was owned since the gold-rush days by the reclusive ancestry of a famous comedian (ask) who kept the property off-limits, so accurate internet photos of the place don't exist. Historical details can be found in the books of Bob Powers and others, depicting visits from Grizzly Adams, gunfighters, etc. Since an 'Original 100' landmark sale is so rare, a test ad was posted 2 years ago to gauge interest - this one is not a test and if sold it will be the 2nd time this gold-rush landmark has changed hands in 100 years. California is the 'Golden' State - it's on our license plates. Owning a gold-rush California landmark site is a very rare opportunity. With the modernized mountain retreat home with incredible see-forever views & property-wide underground fire protection lines & storage tanks (!!), it's also a practical purchase - keep for yourself, restore for state history & heritage, or put it on Sothebys where they just sold that 6M banana! What comes with sale? In the few words left here: historical landmark townsite with residence & 1800's buildings with no restrictions - restore them, AB&B, make apartments etc. Grid power 220V/110V & 3 separate power meters. 3 RV pads w septic. Free forever water with rights (Keyesville Bottled Water Co?). Full shop w. tools, & more. Build 2nd dream home w stunning 360 view. Zoned A for any business. In a market saturated with 'unique opportunities,' here is something truly singular - your chance to own one of the first 100 Cailfornia Historical Landmark sites!

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
