Sierra Nevada Foothills
This is a wonderful place to call home! Placer & Nevada County located in the Sierra Nevada Foothills of Northern California, one couldn’t ask for a more convenient location. Major highways connect within an hour’s drive to major shopping, airports, recreation areas, cultural attractions, San Francisco Bay Area and Lake Tahoe; yet living here one can still experience a small town rural atmosphere. Nevada & Placer Counties host many of the charming and historic gold rush towns, friendly people and mild weather that embraces the four seasons. Fall is a glorious time in the foothills with leaves changing colors, mild days and cool fall nights. Winter is a special time of beauty, sunny days are crisp and clear. When a storm moves in, the lower elevations will experience rain, and occasionally snow. Higher elevations, 3000 foot or more might have snow. Spring is alive with gorgeous wildflowers, bulbs blooming along the highways and many flowering trees and shrubs. Summer is a time of warm sunny days and mild nights, abundant blossoms, roses and gardens. Our rolling hills, meadows, rivers, and lakes make the Nevada & Placer Counties a natural choice whatever the season! Tell me what you desire and we probably have it, horse property, ranches, estates, gated communities, golf communities and an exceptional Educational System.

Lake Tahoe
Lake Tahoe is one of the most beautiful & cleanest lakes you could possibly imagine. It is surrounded by beautiful mountains where ski resorts are abundant. Many people think that skiing is what it is all about, but the fishing, swimming and all the summer sports are just as wonderful. There is something for every lifestyle. Many resorts are available for your vacation enjoyment, and camping is also available. Restaurants from the small family type to the great steakhouses & every kind of food you can think of can be found. Day time can find you laying on the beach or skiing when the snow (and there is a lot) is calling you. Then at night, there are many casino’s from small to the luxury ones and again restaurants of every kind and great shows to go along with them. Many people visit and many live in the area. Some of the most beautiful homes you can imagine are available for those that want to make the move to the High Sierra’s. I can show you homes in Tahoe, or refer you to an agent that will take quality care of your needs.
Cedar Ridge
Cedar Ridge is located just at the edge of Grass Valley on scenic Highway 174. Cedar Ridge is what my dad used to call, “a wide spot in the road”. Don’t blink as you pass by or you will miss it. The elevation there is just up a little higher than downtown Grass Valley so when it snows, you will find more there to build a snow man. Cedar Ridge is a beautiful area with many tall pines and cedars gracing its varied terrain.
Cedar Ridge has it’s own post office, a neighborhood store, video store and other small businesses. It is host to the gated community of the “Cedars” where homes range in the upper $400,000 or higher.
The area from Cedar Ridge to Chicago Park is well known for its produce. Many of the growers who bring their produce to the Saturday Growers Market at the Fair Grounds live and grow their crops in this sun belt area.
