Nevada County
Located in the beautiful Northern Sierra Foothills, Nevada County savors its rich legacy from the California gold rush. The cities of Grass Valley, Nevada City, Rough & Ready and Truckee offer a walk back in time. MLS real estate properties include stately Victorian houses for that perfect home or office. Many of the Victorian mansions that were home to mining executives have been converted into quaint B&B’s catering to a robust tourist industry. The variety of homes and settings is what makes Nevada County California real estate properties so special.
But time has not stood still. Today’s residential properties include modern homes in gated or planned developments, new rustic homes nestled among the forests, condominiums and townhomes, as well as smaller family homes. The area also boasts excellent planned retirement communities catering to a range of special needs.
Nevada County is home to a diverse business and electronics industry. Commercial properties include modern new medical and business complexes as well as quaint shops and office spaces in the historic districts. Real estate in the outlying areas include agricultural farm, ranch and horse properties. Excellent soil and climate conditions support a growing wine industry with award winning wineries. The area is rapidly gaining a new reputation as California’s “other wine country”.
