Equestrian enthusiasts will love the expansive space for horses to roam, complete with a two-stall stable and tack area. With your own private airstrip, the possibilities are endlessthink fly-in events, glamping retreats, weddings, vineyard operations, cattle ranching, agriculture, and more. There is significant potential for future development, including expansion of the airstrip, additional hangars, tie-downs, commercial and industrial ventures, and event hosting. Sky Valley Ranch has hosted hundreds of fly-ins, attracting seasoned pilots, including Vietnam-era Blue Angels and Lockheed professionals, as well as local aviators. Use has been minimal in recent years, preserving the peaceful, secluded nature of this beautiful valley.

Flights to San Francisco, Sacramento, South Lake Tahoe, and Yosemite National Park range from 15 to 40 minutes. This historic property has been in and out of the family since 1854. The owner reserves the right to retain 10% of mineral rights. Property is being sold as-is. Landings, hangars, and tie-downs are available by written permission only, with insurance and additional insured endorsement.
