Time Magazine has called Grass Valley “one of the top ten best small towns to live in.” Downtown Grass Valley is considered by many to be the one of the best preserved historic towns in the United States.

Nevada City was settled in 1849 and many of the homes built by those who owned and managed the mines during the Gold Rush stand proudly today. Within the historic district, many beautiful Victorians have been restored and refurbished.

Rural Penn Valley is country property at its relaxed best, yet Penn Valley is only minutes from downtown Grass Valley and Nevada City. Penn Valley properties include picturesque farms and ranches, lush horse property, and newer homes near rolling meadows and majestic oak trees.

North San Juan property is rural, with some homes on smaller (3 acre) parcels near center of town and larger acreage as you move further out. Horse property, ranches and organic farms dot the landscape.
