What the seller provided

Unimproved Vacant Land at APN 055-010-032-000 Google Map Link: Parcel DD-030816-02-01 Google Map Link: Parcel DD-030816-03-01 APN 055-010-046-000 Google Map Link: Parcel DD-030815-01-01 offered by Caltrans through a sealed-bid public auction. Irregular lots. 67.53 acres, zoned Single Family Residential (R-1). Topography: Flat. Utilities: Available from road. Encumbrances: On the properties east of Garden Hwy is a right-of-way easement granted for the construction, operation, and maintenance of the west levee of the Feather River, including all incidental works and the right of ingress and egress in favor of the San Joaquin Drainage District. There is also a right-of-way easement granted for the installation, operation, and maintenance of a pipeline used for the transportation of water associated with a reclamation plant. There are several easements on the property west of Garden Hwy. Easement 5 (Book 50 of Deeds, Page 279) is an electric transmission line easement granted to Pacific Gas and Electric Company for a single line of poles and wires crossing the site along a defined centerline; this linear easement is typical for the area and does not materially impair utility or marketability. Easement 6, shown on the Record of Survey in Book 14, Pages 16 and 30, reflects only roadway geometry and a standard 10-foot public utility easement along the Garden Highway and Bogue Road frontages, with no interior easements indicated. Easement 14 (Book 1418, Pages 322–325) consists of a right-of-way dedication and an associated 10-foot public utility easement along the Garden Highway frontage, encompassing approximately 1.21 acres; as this frontage strip lies entirely within the roadway setback area, it does not intrude into the interior or reduce the usable portion of the parcel. Easement 15 (Book 1420, Pages 436–440) is a 10-foot public utility easement along the southerly property boundary adjacent to Shanghai Bend Road, also located within a typical roadway utility corridor. Minimum bid $7,597,500; bidder deposit $700,000; bid opening 2:00 pm. Sale subject to California Transportation Commission approval (March 18-19, 2027). Sold "as is". Review the official Caltrans brochure for inspection, deposit, and bidding terms.

How this sale works

Surplus public land

An agency is disposing of land it no longer needs: excess right-of-way, school or state trust parcels, or surplus sites offered by sealed bid or auction.

• Minimums are usually an appraised value, and bids are often sealed with a public opening.
• Parcels can be odd-shaped remnants with access, zoning or easement quirks; the bid package explains them.
• Deposits, closing deadlines and reservation of mineral or access rights are set in the offering.
