Fort Jones sits at the northern end of Scott Valley along Highway 3, a former military post turned ranching and timber town that anchors the drive between Yreka and Etna. The small grid of Downtown Fort Jones gives way quickly to open pasture, hay ground, and cattle operations, and the housing stock reflects that heritage: older frame homes near the center, ranch houses on acreage along the Highway 3 corridor, and scattered parcels running south toward South Fort Jones. Buyers here are drawn by affordable land, mountain access to the Marble and Trinity wilderness, and a genuinely rural pace of life.
Fidelity Funding is a direct, asset-based lender comfortable with the agricultural and mixed collateral that defines a market like Fort Jones. Rather than chase a borrower's tax returns, we underwrite the property and the business plan, which lets us fund homes on acreage, small ranches, and value-add cottages that conventional lenders often decline. We close in five to ten business days, lend up to 90% of purchase plus 100% of rehab, and offer DSCR loans for investors holding Scott Valley rentals long term. Reach a real decision-maker directly at (877) 300-3007.
