If you are looking for a true mountain experience at an incredible value just outside of Truckee, you should look into the Grizzly Ranch Golf Club.  Located within a million acres of national and state forestlands the Grizzly Ranch is just down the road from Lake Davis and numerous fishing streams and high alpine lakes in the Feather River region known as the “Lost Sierra”.  Time seems to stand still in the Sierra Valley and I often frequent the Lakes Basin highway with world class mountain biking, hiking and numerous alpine lakes set at the base of the ever imposing Sierra Buttes.  Blairsden and Graeagle are among my favorite towns to visit with their quaint and charming feel, absent of crowds and congestion.  There is currently a Homesite Inventory Auction that ends on October 17th where you will find golf, valley and mountain view properties with opening bids starting as low at $20,000.  Visit this link for more information on the auction: Grizzly Ranch Auction
