2144 Sheep Ranch Road, Murphys, CA 95247 listing details

The original 1883 Homestead is a shadow of the pioneer spirit that still remains of the Shaw Ranch. The stone foundation and 20’x 30’ post and beam barn from the homestead maintains the history and romance of the early settlers to what was then known as “The Long Gulch” area. This fascinating historical element coincides with the beautiful log home that has all the amenities and was custom designed by the current owner. The area is dotted with gold mines and some signs of early mining can still be seen on a walk on the south trail. The home is in the perfect setting with a full southern exposure overlooking the meadow. Walk through the meadow to the pond and trailhead. As you follow the trail it will take you past beautiful views and rock outcroppings where you will find several benches in perfect locations in which to enjoy these surroundings. This is your chance to leave the world behind and create a new life in this natural beauty. Vineyard, orchard, horse ranch, it’s up to you. The land is waiting, the peace and serenity are waiting, the beautiful foothills and Sierra pines are waiting. The Town of Murphys is just 1.3 miles down the road.
