Subdivisions in Modoc County are not the postage stamp sized lots with cookie cutter houses that you might imagine.  Thoms Creek Estates is a lovely area with 20 acre home sites.

Thoms Creek Estates, like other "subdivisions" in Modoc County was created in the 1960s.  What makes Thoms Creek Estates different from others is that size of the sites.  20 Acres is large compared to 1-5 acres which is more typical.

Thoms Creek Estates is divided into Thoms Creek Estates I and Thoms Creek Estates II.

Thoms Creek I has 56 parcels and Thoms Creek II has 81 parcels.  Both areas are quite nice.

Thoms Creek I originally had a property owners association and some time ago that association was discontinued.  The good news is that you don't have any property owners fees, but bad news, there also isn't any road maintenance in that area.  The roads and quite rough and it can be difficult to access those properties in the winter months.

Thoms Creek II has an active property owners association.  Dues for 2008 were $30 per lot for the year.  Pretty reasonable when you take into account the size of the parcels.

Many parcels in Thoms Creek II have fabulous views.  On a clear day, you can see Mt. Shasta from many of them. 

Prices have remained reasonable for these properties.  Thoms Creek I properties have been listing and selling from about $40,000-$50,000 per home site.  Thoms Creek II properties have been listing and selling from about $55,000-$65,000 per home site depending upon how much development may be on the property (well, septic, power, etc.)

Elevation in Thoms Creek II is about 5,000 ft above sea level, so you will get more snow in that area.  Elevations in Thoms Creek I are somewhere around 4,800 ft or lower. 

You'll see many owners have horses, cows, chickens, etc.  You can have a small barnyard of your favorite farm animals if you'd like.  But, don't overdo it - too many will place a burden on your property.
