Nestled in storied Sierra Valley, the one-of-a-kind "Calpine Ranch" offers 532 acres of majestic pasture land, wildlife and Fletcher and Spring Creeks. An original circa 1885 farmhouse was home to early gold country settlers, political figures and working cattle ranchers. The Ranch lies within a large alpine meadow shouldered by evergreen forests to the west, overlooking open conservation grasslands to the east. Three parcels with water rights. Enjoy the Western splendor of Sierra Valley through the seasons. Sierra Valley is one of the largest alpine valleys in North America measuring over 100,000 acres at 5,000 feet elevation. On the west is the heavily forested crest of the Sierras. On the east, the valley was formed by an ancient lake bed that was once part of the great inland ocean of Lake Lahontan. Sierra Valley is recognized for migrating bird species and resident raptors who share this habitat with deer, antelope, 50 species of butterflies and other wildlife...adding to the vibrant and rich natural diversity that is Calpine Ranch. High Sierra mountain ranges and the Sierra Buttes are the backdrop to the valley basin. The grasslands are interspersed with giant Jeffrey pine and stately Ponderosa pine trees creating ideal conditions for grazing, agriculture and scenery. Fletcher Creek and Spring Creek run through the ranch lending water rights that are important for sustainability. The offering includes multiple structures, Kubota tractor and ranch equipment.
