Neighborhood highlights
This property is located in the highly sought after Ponderosa Basin neighborhood, where most residences are mostly private and secluded, while there's a local store (groceries, beer, wine, snacks, etc.) about 10 min away, you're literally living in the mountains.
Mariposa is a laid back city known for its calming atmosphere and no rush attitude, famous for once being a Gold Rush town in the late 19th century, as well as being close to the breath-taking sites of Yosemite National Park.
Whether it’s the snow-covered landscapes in the winter, wonderful colors of fall foliage in autumn, or the thrill of summertime vibes, you’ll be treated to spectacular vistas all year round. With so many extraordinary trails and parks nearby, you’ll have plenty of opportunity to engage in your favorite outdoor activities – including mountain biking, zip lining, mountain climbing, hiking, bird watching, mushroom picking and more!
In fact, one of the best hikes in all of Yosemite is just one hour Chilnualna Falls Trailhead – featuring cascading waterfalls, rugged rock formations, and bluff tops revealing the staggering valleys beneath you.
