Surrounded by forested ridges that provide protection from the valley heat, winter fog, and heavy mountain snow, the ranch offers a climate that’s as balanced as its lifestyle. The custom-built, architecturally designed contemporary home is nothing short of flawless—immaculately maintained and intentionally crafted to invite the outdoors in. Every window frames the beauty of towering pines, firs, cedars, and heritage oaks, while the layout prioritizes both comfort and sustainability. Step outside and the serenity of your surroundings is immediate—no neighbors in sight, only the sound of rustling leaves and birdsong.
Meandering trails weave through the pristine, park-like forests, leading to secret swimming holes, shaded camp spots, and flat, private clearings perfect for additional home sites, guest cabins, or retreats. Forest Creek, the Middle Fork of the Mokelumne River, and Boston Gulch all wind through the property, offering year-round opportunities for swimming, fishing, and quiet reflection beside flowing water.
Recreation here is limitless—hike, ride, or explore on foot, horseback, or ATV across your own private wilderness. The land has been thoughtfully managed under both the California Forest Improvement Program (CFIP) and a Non-Industrial Timber Management Plan (NTMP), enhancing fire safety, preserving over 3 million board feet of marketable timber, and ensuring the long-term health and beauty of this extraordinary landscape.
Whether you're seeking a full-time sanctuary, a family legacy property, or a self-sustaining private compound, Schaad Ranch is the gold standard. With panoramic views, deep privacy, and a soul-soothing atmosphere, this is more than a home—it’s a way of life, untouched and unparalleled.
