Tuolumne County
Tuolumne County is located in the Central Valley Foothills, in a mad geographical anomaly that places us approximately two hours from many metropolitan areas, including our State Capitol, the Bay Area, Fresno, and Lake Tahoe. Even closer still, are the smaller cities of Modesto and Stockton, as well as Yosemite National Park, Dodge Ridge Ski Resort, many lakes and streams, and mountains as far as the eye can see!! With a history rich in the Gold Rush, and a landscape that you cannot find anywhere else, we are definitely blessed to live in such a paradise.
While taking care not to destroy the beauty of our surroundings, there are many developments that are popping up throughout the county. From affordable to extraordinary, the homes here are gems! Currently, there are all kinds of properties available: townhomes, vacation rentals, log cabins, family homes, ranches, investment opportunities, and much more!
The real estate market in Tuolumne County focuses mostly on trends filtering out from the Bay Area and Sacramento. Sometimes finding an affordable home is difficult, but it can be done! Our Team specializes in helping you see the rare finds, the gold in the hills.
There are neighborhoods to suit every need and every budget.
Sonora
In Sonora, you have many choices as to what kind of home and property you would like. There are small lots with homes in the town limits, walking distance to all of the amenities an historical town can offer: antiques, gold panning, many-starred dining and even your local diner! Walk downtown and sip a cappuccino while getting your nails done. Take a gander into the Harley-Davidson shop. Have one of the best breakfasts in your life. Shop for antiques, and on some occasions, witness a stage coach robbery and shoot out in the street! At Railtown’s 1897 State Park, you can see the original steam trains and tracks of the Sierra Pacific Railroad, and for only a few dollars (kids are FREE!!), ride the train and watch the boiler steam! Sometimes, your train is hijacked by a band of rogue cowboys…so beware!
If it’s not a home in town that you want, within five minutes are large ranches, small communities, old and new homes, large and small. Small lots or acreage, it’s all right here! Homes in Sonora start in the low $200,000’s.
Twain Harte
If it’s the mountains you like, drive a mere nine miles into the hills and you reach the quaint town of Twain Harte. Named after the two famous authors that fell in love with the beauty of these foothills, Mark Twain and Bret Harte, this fabulous getaway has everything: craft fairs, shopping, golf, food, vacation homes, and a very strong and supportive community. Breathtaking views await anyone who is brave enough, as the snow reaches this town and sometimes stays for several weeks. Homes in this area start in the mid $200,000’s.
Higher still up the hill is an amazing array of small towns and homes, from very remote to easily accessible. If it’s a cool summer getaway you want or a place to stay to ride your snowmobiles, it’s all there! Dodge Ridge Ski Resort is only a few minutes away, as well as Pinecrest Lake, Ice Skating at the Long Barn Lodge, and on the other side of the Sonora Pass, Kennedy Meadows. Homes up the hill begin in the low $200,000’s.
Almost half of Tuolumne County contains the majority of Yosemite National Park. With some of the most incredible sights in the world, living only a short drive away is like a gift from heaven. Walk the trails, see a brown bear and her cubs, stand at the foot of a waterfall hundreds of feet high, sit on a log over the Merced River. It’s a trip you will never forget.
