You are invited to an amazing vacation...
Snow Creek Ranch is a wonderful property located about 10 minutes away from the old mining town of Mariposa. It features a spacious home with plenty of room to relax, cozy interiors, a sprawling deck overlooking the creek, a beautiful infinity edge swimming pool with spa, and much, much more.
The secluded 150 acres include rolling hills, forests and pristine hiking paths. It's home to deer, bobcats and an occasional coyote. The views from all sides are peaceful and inviting. It's perfect year round. In the fall visit to watch the leaves turn and the rains arrive. You can relax by the wood stove in winter, or ski in Yosemite National Park. Spring and summer are perfect for outdoors activities.
The property includes two ponds stocked with bass, horse corrals -- where you can bring your own horse, a pool cabana for hanging out by the water, barbecuing for lunch, or a romantic dinner by the pond.
No neighbors are visible anywhere around the property. There is hardly a better place to get away form it all, gather with friends or family, or concentrate on important decisions away from the pressures of daily life.

Why the Owner Chose Mariposa
I fell in love with the Sierra foothills in California while visiting Yosemite National Park during the summer of 1997. It's an old school county, very laid back, the original hub of the Gold Rush in 1849. North of Mariposa, driving up Route 49, you can visit the original mining towns, some of which retain their original charm. Places like Jamestown, Sonora, Murphys and Columbia bring you back to an earlier image of the West.
The Unique Benefits at this Yosemite Ranch
Snow Creek Ranch is unsual. There are two ponds on the property, and Snow Creek which cuts the ranch diagonally. Fishing in the upper pond will yield some sizable large mouth bass. You can hike within the ranch, and also cross over to neighboring properties while not encountering a soul. We have our own falls which run from October to May. Sitting with a good book by the flowing water is one of life's great pleasures. If you are into horses, you can bring your own and ride some wonderful trails.
The pool area is elegant, fun and extremely comfortable. You can set a fire, eat by the pool in the cabana or enjoy a relaxing time in the spa.
And all this is within a short drive of Yosemite National Park. What else could you ask for?
Owner's Map of Mariposa
I live in Los Angeles, but spend as much time as possible at Snow Creek Ranch.
I am originally from Argentina, where I grew up riding horses and chasing cows. I have lived in California for over 30 years, and my dream was to own a property where I could keep my animals and enjoy nature all year round.
