Want to buy a ghost town with a bar and liquor license? Expand it into a unique getaway! Perhaps the most remote restaurant in Northern California. 12 acres. (We will provide a Deed plus a Title Search and Title Insurance.) Seneca is the real McCoy. Historic. Very close to, or containing a historic Chinese-built gold mine. This deal includes several small buildings in various states of (dis)repair. It was home to the "Woodstock of the West" in the 1970's -- thousands attended (we have a clipping somewhere).

Riverfront footage on both sides of the Feather River. Includes an island. Possibly THE last private acreage within a National Forest. (Not many liquor licenses in the region, either.) A big tree is growing up through the porch of the bar.

The public access dirt road from both north and south is one of the most scenic in the USA. (The northern access is darn scary and features maybe 1000-foot drops into the gorge.)

Ishi wandered around these parts. Other famous and notorious details are easily googleable about this ol' town.

You can easily drive out and take a look and at least see the buildings and river and surrounding few acres. (A guide can show boundaries to serious party. There is nothing unusual but this service will require days to set up because owner/helper lives a long way from property.) You should be acquainted with this type of region before visiting. The southern access is easier in bad weather or wintery seasons.

Seneca (formerly, North Fork) is an unincorporated community in Plumas County, California. It lies at an elevation of 3625 feet. Seneca is located on the North Fork Feather River, 6.25 miles north of Twain.

The Seneca post office opened in 1902, closed in 1918, reopened in 1923, moved in 1941, and closed finally in 1943.
