About this property

Escape to the Timeless Beauty of Sierra Valley


Welcome to the Forsythe Ranch in Calpine, California

Nestled in the breathtaking Sierra Valley, just outside the charming mountain community of Calpine, our ranch is more than a destination—it is a place where time slows, nature takes center stage, and every sunrise reminds you why this remarkable landscape has captivated generations.

Surrounded by panoramic views of the Sierra Nevada mountains, endless alpine meadows, crystal-clear streams, and towering pines, the ranch offers an extraordinary blend of privacy, beauty, and authentic Western heritage. Here, wildlife roams freely, the night skies are filled with countless stars, and each season transforms the landscape into something entirely new—from vibrant wildflower-filled springs and warm summer evenings to spectacular autumn colors and peaceful snow-covered winters. Sierra Valley is one of the largest alpine valleys in North America, celebrated for its pristine landscapes, rich ranching traditions, and incredible bird and wildlife habitat.

Spend your days hiking scenic trails, riding bikes through the valley, fishing nearby streams, or simply taking in the spectacular surroundings. After a day outdoors, soak in the private hot tub while listening to your favorite music, prepare dinner on the chef's grill, and gather around for a movie night in the cozy living room. As night falls, enjoy some of the clearest star-filled skies you'll ever experience.

Designed for comfort and privacy, the ranch offers expansive indoor and outdoor living spaces, a fully equipped chef's kitchen, gourmet outdoor grill, private hot tub, cozy fireplace, movie nights, breathtaking mountain views, and complete seclusion. With no neighboring homes in sight, it's the perfect destination for family gatherings, executive retreats, or a peaceful escape into nature.
