2 million acres of Modoc National Forest.
Cool summers, tall pines, clear ponds.
If you’ve been craving space, fresh air, and an affordable path into land ownership, California Pines is the quiet mountain community you’ve been looking for.
Why Buyers Love California Pines
Peaceful & uncrowded—green meadows, towering pines, and little mountain streams where you’ll actually hear the wind.
Weekend-ready—park the RV, camp on your own lot (up to ~30 days/year), or plan a future cabin site.
Owner-friendly POA—low annual fees that help keep roads graded, the lodge operating, and local ponds stocked with fish.
Two settings to choose from
Lake Units (~4,300 ft): meadow terrain near the hub of activity.
Hill Units: elevated, forested, and private—classic “cabin in the pines” feel.
The California Pines Lodge (Your Basecamp)
Sitting on a small peninsula on California Pines Lake, the California Pines Lodge offers:
28 guest rooms, a cozy restaurant & cocktail lounge
Activity room with big-screen TV, ping-pong & pool tables
A banquet hall anchored by a dramatic double-sided fireplace
Swimming pool and paddle-tennis courts outside
It’s the perfect place to grab breakfast, meet friends for dinner, or stay overnight while you scout lots. (Property owners often enjoy special room discounts.)
Food, Drinks & Small-Town Fun
Take a break from city routines and dine overlooking the lake. The lounge keeps the lights on late with friendly conversation, a good drink, and the game on TV. It’s exactly the kind of easy, come-as-you-are atmosphere people move here for.
Brown’s Pond & Rainbow Pond (Bring a Rod)
In the hill units you’ll find several small, stocked ponds—local favorites include Brown’s Pond and Rainbow Pond. Crystal-clear edges let you spot fish cruising; bites come quick whether you’re tossing a spinner or a fly. Many owners make these ponds a mandatory stop every time they visit.
Practical Ownership Notes
Roads & upkeep: POA fees (budget-friendly) go toward road maintenance, lodge operations, and fish stocking.
Access & seasons: Most roads are accessible three seasons; high-elevation areas may require 4×4 or seasonal access in heavy snow.
Building & trees: Minimum build size and tree-removal rules apply; manufactured homes are allowed when new. (Always confirm current standards with the POA/CPCSD for your specific lot.)
Lake-area perks: Near the lodge you’ll also find a small airstrip and campground—great for friends flying in or weekend gatherings.
