About this property

A Little Serenity at This Quaint Little Spot

Cold Water Creek is very quaint. Don't let the small size fool ya, along with the property, this is a gem. Cold Water Creek runs in the back yard of this one acre parcel. If you leave the master bedroom window open, you can hear the water trickling downstream. The earlier in spring, the better of course from the snow melt in the high country of the Sierra's. The back patio is so relaxing and with giant oak and ponderosa pine trees, you have shade in the late afternoon. The house in on a culdesac that is fairly flat. It's perfect for a little stroll any time of day. Say hi to the other neighbors that enjoy Coachman Road as well. We are located in a subdivision called Ponderosa Basin. It is a perfect distance between the two mountain towns, Mariposa and Oakhurst. Both of which have entrances into Yosemite National Park. If you have any off road vehicles, you can take Chowchilla Mountain Road all the way into the park and pop out at the Wawona Golf Course inside Yosemite.

About the host

Hosted by Rich and Randa Strickfaden

Host profile image
We both moved to Mariposa in 1979 and graduated Junior High School. This is where we met. We went through high school together as friends and began dating right after graduation in 1983. We both live and work in Mariposa and we have raised all three of our children here. They all graduated from Mariposa as well. It's a small, tight knit community and we feel blessed to be part of it.

Why they chose this property

We think it's just a perfect place to relax and unwind from the everyday routine. It's in the middle of nature and the creek in the back is just soothing and relaxing.
