Oroville · Butte County · New listing
Thirty gated acres above Lake Oroville — with the shop, the range and the playground already built.
01 — The property
Tucked into the Sierra foothills just minutes above Lake Oroville, this private 30-acre retreat pairs a cozy home with serious shop space and room to roam. The single-level, 2004-built residence offers one bedroom and one bath, plus a retreat and recreation room that flexes easily as a den, home office, or second bedroom.
Attached to the home is the real showstopper: a 1,400+ sq. ft., three-bay garage and shop with its own central heat and air — plenty of room for vehicles, a boat, an RV, or a full workshop, with space left over for hobbies or storage.
Whether you're after a weekend basecamp, a full-time foothill retreat, or a blank canvas with a workshop already built in, 179 Elams Ranch Rd delivers space, privacy and recreation just minutes from the water.
02 — The film
Gate to meadow, well house to shooting range — shot from the air and on the ground, so you know exactly what you're buying before you make the drive.

04 — The shop
Most rural properties at this price make you choose between a house and a place to work. This one doesn't. The attached 1,400+ sq. ft. shop is nearly twice the footprint of the residence, runs on its own central heat and air, and opens through three garage-door bays onto a circular gravel drive.
Park the boat and the truck inside and still have room for a bench, a lift, or a season's worth of gear. There's 220V power at the property, laundry hookups in the garage, and a covered carport space besides.
05 — The land
Beyond the house, the 30 secluded acres aren't raw ground waiting on you — they're finished. Mature trees, rock outcroppings and open meadow border national forest land, and the previous owners built out the things most buyers spend years adding.
Deer, turkey and quail are frequent visitors. The gate and gravel road keep it private without making it hard to reach.
06 — Recently completed
This isn't a property that needs a year of catch-up work before you can use it. The heavy items were handled before it came to market:
Prior home inspection, well photos and septic service records are on file and available to serious buyers on request.
07 — The location
Off Stringtown Road in the Butte County foothills, the property sits close enough to the lake for a morning launch and far enough up the hill for real quiet. Lake Oroville's boating, fishing, kayaking and swimming are just down the road, along with miles of hiking and OHV trails and the national forest at the property line.
