Livermore, California 94550
Set deep into Livermore’s backcountry just beyond the 17-mile marker on Mines Road, this 11-acre property is about as private and remote as it gets. If you’re looking for neighbors, this isn’t it. If you’re looking for quiet, space, and complete separation from the pace of everyday life…this is exactly that. The land is largely untouched, with rolling terrain, dual ridge lines, and a natural gulch that creates both character and seclusion. It’s the kind of property where you can carve your own trails, disappear into the landscape, and create a true off-grid experience. The 800 sqft solar-powered cabin is unpermitted and intentionally simple. This is not a polished residence. It’s a rustic hideaway. A place to unplug, reset, and live closer to the land. With a seasonal pond, expansive open space, and no nearby development, the setting offers a rare level of privacy and self-sufficiency. Ideal for those seeking a weekend escape, recreational retreat, or a true off-grid lifestyle. This is less about a home—and more about a way of living.
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Although built recently in 2018, the cabin is unpermitted, rustic, and unpolished, featuring basic off-grid solar power rather than standard residential systems and finishes.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 488307, living area = 800.
Situated on 11 acres deep in Livermore’s backcountry with dual ridge lines and no nearby neighbors, this property offers an unparalleled level of quiet and total separation from urban life.
The property features a solar-powered cabin and a seasonal pond, providing a functional foundation for a self-sufficient, eco-friendly retreat or weekend escape.
The existing 800 sqft cabin is unpermitted and intentionally rustic, which will likely preclude traditional financing and require a buyer comfortable with non-standard improvements.
Located 17 miles down Mines Road with no nearby development, the property’s extreme isolation and lack of modern utilities may be a deterrent for those requiring proximity to city services.
No exterior & parking available.
