is a private, gated residential community tucked into the Lost Sierra region of Northern California — a rugged, less-crowded stretch of the Sierra Nevada known for its natural beauty and outdoor recreation culture.
At roughly 1,040 acres, the community has room to breathe — homesites set among mountains and forest rather than packed together, giving residents a true sense of privacy and immersion in nature.
Unlike many mountain communities built around a single season, Grizzly Ranch is designed to be enjoyed year-round — skiing and snow activities in winter, golf and hiking in summer, and vibrant shoulder seasons in between.
Residents have access to golf, trails for hiking/biking, a pool, a spa, fitness and recreation facilities, and even bocce courts — giving the community a resort-like, active lifestyle feel without ever leaving the gates.
It's close to the small mountain town of Portola for everyday needs and charm, while still being within easy reach of Reno and Truckee — so residents get seclusion without sacrificing access to airports, dining, and bigger-city conveniences.
