The Coppins Meadow Ranch Ranch is a spectacular mountain meadow property, rich with natural beauty and features. The secluded, pristine, ranch has 153 unspoiled acres, is dotted with wild flowers in the summers and makes for a winter wonderland during the colder months. Paved road frontage gives the ranch easy accessibility all summer long and in the winter, the property is reached via snowmobiles. Just a short 30 minute drive north takes you to the historic town of Truckee, California. One of the area's greatest draws is the abundance of activities available for the outdoor enthusiast. In the summer, you can enjoy fishing, camping, rock climbing, and water sports such as water-skiing, sailing and windsurfing. There is also tennis, golf, horseback riding and mountain biking. Hikers have a number of trails from which to choose, including a portion of the Pacific Crest Trail which will take them to mountain meadows filled with wild flowers and breathtaking scenery. Winter brings snow and lots of it. Near Truckee are a number of first class ski resorts including famed Squaw Valley, site of the 1960 Winter Olympic Games. Many facilities also include sledding, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing and snowboarding. The season can run from Thanksgiving, or earlier, to May depending on Mother Nature.
