About this property

Private Ranch w/Views & Pool, Minutes to Downtown Murphys, 30 mi. to Bear Valley

Murphys Ranch is a welcoming, supremely comfortable ranch – style home with breathtaking views of the Sierras, large outdoor spaces and a private pool. With three bedrooms, three full bathrooms and an additional sleeper it can comfortably accommodate up to eight people.

The living room and dining room have vaulted ceilings and sliding doors that lead out onto a magnificent deck and outdoor pool, there is also an extra room to tuck in to play games or read a book. The newly updated kitchen has plenty of storage, counter space and room to spread out, it is well stocked with pots, pans and utensils so making meals there is a breeze. The dining room table seats a party of 8, outdoor dining table seats 6.

The garage will accommodate two large cars so unloading all the goodies from the local markets is easy breezy.

In the mornings we like to stroll down to the Red Apple Stand at the bottom of the driveway and pick up fresh apple doughnuts and turnovers, fresh from the oven each day but it’s only a 5-minute drive to downtown Murphys for lunch or dinner.

In the summer we lounge by the pool or take advantage of the local lakes & swimming holes, tennis courts and golf, in the fall we love to taste all the newly released wines from the local producers. In the winter we head up 30 miles to Bear Valley for downhill skiing although we hear cross-country is also wonderful around here – we just prefer to get up the hills on a lift :).

We really enjoy exploring the near-by towns, there is so much wonderful history! There is a vibrant music scene and you’ll likely be able to catch a concert at the Iron Horse Winery during your summer visit.

Great place to get away
A classic ranch home with outstanding upgraded outdoor area. The pool was a welcome amenity as the weekend we stayed was over 100 degrees each day. Close to downtown Murphys for a fun day in town eating, wine tasting and exploring. Helena was a great host and very communicative. The house can get warm, so plan accordingly and keep those fans going and enjoy the pool.
