5 AC Henness Ridge Rd, Yosemite, CA 95389

Property Description

Unusual opportunity to own five private acres off Henness Ridge, with Sierra National Forest to the west. Knoll provides a future scenic setting and off-the-grid potential, for independent country living. You'll drive a good five miles over the historic railroad grade (now a dirt roadway) from Yosemite West to reach your special mountain retreat. And, if you let your imagination soar, you can recount previous activity which may have occurred on this property, from native fauna (deer, bear, and smaller animals) to steam-powered Shay locomotives pulling logging cars through the forests in the 1920s, to cattle grazing a decade or two later, and to timber management in later years, as well as seeing the changes in landscape following 2018's Ferguson Fire. Now this parcel awaits your vision for its future . . . a special place at a special time. Winter access will often require x-c skis or hiking or both, since snow is common at Yosemite West. And, when you emerge from your hideaway back to paved roads, you'll be ready to explore so much of Yosemite National Park -- head north to Yosemite Valley, head south to Wawona, or in summer, east to Glacier Point. It's a little bit of heaven, for the adventurer!
