Truckee Real Estate – Grizzly Ranch
March 5, 2010
What’s new with Grizzly Ranch?
As you may know the development has been for sale for some time. This is still the situation and the present owners are hopeful to resolve this soon.
Regarding the existing homes, the Grizzly HOA is running normal activities like snow removal, property & building maintenance etc. The HOA is being managed by Associated Management in Reno. I have contact information should you wish to contact them.
Let me know if you want to go up and check out some homes or land.
Grizzly Ranch Ownership
September 7, 2009
Grizzly Ranch is a beautiful community just South of Davis Lake with it’s own Golf Course. It has been having financial problems and is expected to be sold to new owners soon. Some good buys can be had – but there is obviously some risk until the ownership issue is sorted out.
Plumas and Sierra Counties

Click here for a Map of Sierra Valley
Sierra County, population 3,555, is located in the heart of the northern section of the Sierra Nevada on Highway 49. Nine hundred fifty nine square miles of unparalleled beauty, heavily forested canyons, the largest alpine valley in North America, wild rivers, unspoiled mountain lakes and streams, charming gold rush towns and century old ranching and logging communities.
Green and heavily timbered, the western half of Sierra County and the county seat of Downieville, Goodyears Bar, Pike and Alleghany hold memories of the Gold Rush era. Historic buildings are abundant and there are many fine examples of rough-hewn 49er architecture. It remains today much as it was over 100 years ago when the gold miners worked the rivers and mountains in search of their fortune in gold. The majestic Sierra Buttes Mountains, a regional landmark overlooking Sierra City, reaches 8600 feet into the heavens.
Sierra County claims more than 40 alpine lakes, most of them in the Sierra Buttes Lakes Basin Recreation area. Camping, fishing, hiking, mountain biking, kayaking, rafting, snowmobiling, cross-country skiing and other activities abound in a natural and tranquil setting.
Just across the 6,700′ high Yuba Pass lies eastern Sierra County and the towns of Loyalton, Sierraville, Calpine and Sattley in the beautiful Sierra Valley. This 5000-foot elevation mountain valley reflects life as it used to be in much of the west. Herds of cattle graze amid century-old barns built by early ranchers. Due to its extensive wetlands and location on a major flyway, the valley is a noted bird-watching location. Even rare bald eagles are seen here quite frequently. We even share the town of Verdi with Nevada in the southeastern corner of the county.
Sierra County is easily accessible year round. During winter months, Highways 49 and 89 into the county are regularly maintained – the Yuba Pass rarely closes. A blanket of snow sparkles in the sunlight at the higher elevations. In spring and early summer, wildflowers are abundant in all areas of the county. Autumn colors are spectacular, and the mountain air is crisp and fresh.
