Fox Hill Lane Estates Proposal Near Newcastle Would Divide 35.7 Acres Into Three Parcels

NEWCASTLE, Placer County — A land-division proposal in the Newcastle/Ophir area would divide a 35.7-acre parcel into three rural properties near the intersection of Uncle Joe’s Lane and Ridge Road.

Placer County’s official District 3 project directory describes the Fox Hill Lane Estates Minor Land Division as proposing parcels of approximately 13.48, 12.80 and 9.81 acres.

How would homes be served?

Under the county’s description, each future lot would have a private driveway connecting to Fox Hill Lane and use an individual well and onsite septic disposal system. The applicant would also need to widen a portion of Uncle Joe’s Lane as an offsite improvement.

What is its status?

The county’s page calls the development a proposal. The description does not establish that the land has been legally divided, new houses have been permitted or construction has begun. Final entitlements, building permits and compliance with environmental and county standards require separate verification.

Residents interested in drainage, road safety or groundwater implications can request the project file and attend any applicable public hearing. Specific parcel boundaries and access should be checked against county maps rather than inferred from this summary.
