300 Meadow Ranch Road

Description

Its streams flowing into the headwaters of the Feather River, the 238-acre Meadow Ranch is an oasis on the western edge of the great Sierra Valley. Just 35 minutes north of Truckee and a short drive off Highway 89, near Calpine, CA, its a world away from the bustle of I-80. With high-speed internet and a plowed drive-in winter, Meadow Ranch offers a remote work opportunity not often found in such a peaceful and stunning setting. A trail leading west from the residential compound meanders through aspen and ponderosa pines, over mountain streams and a handmade wooden bridge to a tranquil pond before it reaches a gate and direct access to Tahoe National Forest. That gate opens to hundreds of miles of hiking, horseback riding and cross-country ski trails reaching all the way to the Gold Lakes region, Graeagle, and beyond. Meadow Ranch is its own park adjoining a national forest. The residential area includes a 3776 square foot, 3 bedrooms/3-bathroom home with open beam ceilings and 2 fireplaces. Expansive windows give views of the open meadow. Additional outbuildings include a detached garage, pump house and a large shop capable of RV storage. Above the shop there is a 2-bedroom, 2 bathroom caretaker/guest apartment with kitchen, washer/dryer, and deck overlooking the property. Additionally, a tennis court complete with viewing deck offers games for those who enjoy the sport. The perimeter of the property is completely fenced, and additionally within that and adjacent to the shop and detached garage, there is an approximately 57-acre piece fenced with non-climb horse fencing specifically for horses. Sprawling decks on the main house overlook the meadow, alive with red tail hawks and mule deer that call it home. At night, the quiet and starlit skies offer a peaceful place to wind down your day or entertain guests for the evening. In summer months there is a wealth of recreational opportunities in the immediate area from horseback riding, hiking, and biking along the scenic trails to fishing in nearby lakes and rivers. With snowmobiling and both downhill and cross-country skiing in the winter months, there is no shortage of ways to appreciate the natural beauty of the Sierra Nevada. The diversity of this property has 4 zones which include a rangeland zone of 174 acres, a forest zone of 65 acres, a development zone of 33.1 acres (within the forest zone) and a special habitat management zone of 8.5 acres. A conservation easement exists to protect the precious ecosystem. With an abundance of water, the fletcher creek and spring channel flow through the property. Two stock ponds and water rights are included in the surrounding meadows.
