About Us
California Pines is a large residential subdivision nestled in the mountains of Modoc County in Northeastern California. Located just 20 miles southwest of the City of Alturas, California Pines covers 15,000 acres divided into two districts: the Lake District and the Hill District.
The Lake District
The Lake District is a residential area located next to the Donovan Reservoir. Water, sewer, and trash service is provided to most properties through the Community Service District (CSD). Power is supplied through Surprise Valley Electric .
This area is also home to the California Pines Lodge , and a local landing strip for small planes. Property owners along the airstrip may include airplane hangars in their building plans, subject to Development Restrictions.
The Hill District
The Hill District is located above the Lake District and is known for its forest of pine, cedar, and juniper trees. Three fishing ponds are nestled among the trees and are stocked by the State Department of Fish and Wildlife. Fishing permits are required and may be obtained in Alturas.
Seasonal streams and natural springs are found throughout the area. Private wells and septic systems are required, as community water and sewer services are not available. Trash service is provided by the CSD, and power is supplied by Surprise Valley Electric .
