The Property

A buildable lakefront lot, in a state where lakefront lots are not for sale.

3383 Lakeshore is 0.46 acres on the north shore of Clearlake, in Nice, with about 97 feet of frontage on the water. The lot runs gently sloped from the road down to a level pad near the shoreline, with an existing pier off the bank , ready for a permitted rebuild on the new owner's timeline. Sewer, water, and electricity are all available at the street.

Most of California's named lakes have either no lakefront for sale at any price, lakefront priced like Tahoe, or strict lake-use rules that keep you off the water you bought into. Clearlake is the rare exception. It is the largest natural lake fully in California, the Lake County General Plan supports private docks and water-position parcels, and the comparable inventory at this size and frontage simply does not exist below this number anywhere in the state I've checked.

The lot is zoned CR, DR, FF, WW in Lake County's combining-district system, which is the kind of stack that allows residential, with waterfront overlays. Buyer should confirm the exact buildable envelope and any setback requirements with Lake County Community Development before writing. I'll help coordinate that call.

"Ninety-seven feet of frontage. A pier where the pier needs to go. And the lake doing what it does."

The Specs

What you're actually buying.

Lot

0.46 acres · gently sloping

20,037 square feet. Lot Features per MLS: 0-1 Unit/Acre, Gentle Sloping, Street Level. Standard single-parcel sale, no additional parcels included.

Waterfront

97-plus feet on Clearlake

Listed as Lake, Lake Front, Lake Privileges per MLS. Property subtype is "Water Position With Land," which in Lake County means you own to the water and have rights at the shoreline.

Pier

Existing dock in place

An older pier sits on the property. The MLS notes it "awaits renovation." A permitted rebuild is the standard path; Lake County Community Development handles dock permits at the time of work, and the parcel already has the water position to support one.

Utilities

Sewer, water, electricity at the street

Per MLS: Electricity Available, Sewer Available, Water Available. All three at the street, ready for connection. No field water or septic engineering to design around, which is unusual for buildable lakefront in this price range.

Zoning

CR, DR, FF, WW

Lake County combining-district stack. Generally accommodates residential with waterfront overlays. I recommend a 10-minute call to Lake County Community Development before writing to confirm exact permitted use and setbacks.

Direction

Highway 20, Sayre, Lakeshore

From Highway 20: right on Sayre Drive, right on Lakeshore Boulevard. About 25 minutes from Lakeport, 15 minutes from Lucerne, on the more developed north shore.

The Value

Why this number is what it is.

$1,536

Per linear foot of waterfront

$149,000 across 97 feet. For comparison, lakefront on Tahoe routinely trades at $25,000 to $80,000 per linear foot. Donner is $8,000 to $20,000. Almanor and Shasta in the $3,000 to $8,000 range. Clearlake at this size and frontage is a different price tier entirely.

$324K

Per acre on the water

0.46 acres at $149,000. Buildable lakefront acreage on a major California lake at three hundred grand per acre is genuinely uncommon, and the existing pier and street-side utilities sweeten the math.

175

Listed January 27, 2026

Buildable lakefront on a major California lake under $200K is a number that almost doesn't exist anymore. The right buyer here is shopping on rarity, not on a clock. Cash or a quick close gets us to the table fastest. Happy to jump on a call to walk you through the comps.

The Setting

What you actually get when you live here.

Clearlake

The largest natural freshwater lake fully within California. 68 square miles of surface area, 100 miles of shoreline. Bass fishing is legitimate destination-grade, water sports run March through October, and the lake supports private docks where the parcel allows.

Mt Konocti view

Konocti is the dormant volcano on the south shore, 4,300 feet, dominating the southern horizon from Nice. The view from this lot is straight across the lake at it. That view does not get built out from in front of you.

Nice

North-shore community of about 2,800. Quiet, walkable to a handful of cafes and the fishing pier at Robinson Rancheria, 10 minutes to Lucerne for groceries, 25 minutes to Lakeport for the county seat services.

Wine country adjacent

The Big Valley AVA and Red Hills AVA are both inside Lake County, 30 to 45 minutes south. Lake County is the highest-elevation AVA in California, and the Cabernet from up here is moving into Napa winemaking through buyer relationships.

Mendocino National Forest

Listed under Community Features as "Near National Forest." The southern boundary of Mendocino National Forest is roughly 25 miles north of Nice, with hiking, hunting, and dispersed camping.

The drive in

From the Bay Area, you're roughly two hours via Highway 101 to Highway 20. From Sacramento, about two hours via I-5 to Highway 20. Once you're on the lake road, the pace changes.

The Location

3383 Lakeshore, on the north shore.

Schedule

Walk the lot. Look at Konocti. Decide.

Showings on this one are easy, the lot is open and you can see the whole site from the road. Plan for 30 to 45 minutes if you want to walk the shoreline and look at the pier. I'll bring the parcel map, the comparable lakefront sales, and the latest Lake County zoning printout the day of. Happy to jump on a call to talk through it first. I'm an early riser, so feel free to reach out anytime.
