Spanish for “small valley”, perfectly positioned between Murphys and Angels Camp, this area is ideal if you’re craving a little space from Murphys’ hustle while still enjoying quick access to Safeway, Starbucks, and other everyday conveniences. Think rolling golden hills, vineyard vistas, and charming historic stone buildings dotting the landscape. With Sonora just about 25 minutes away, you’re beautifully situated for easy adventures to Sonora or Columbia State Historic Park. Depending on where you settle in this lovely stretch of country, you may find public utilities—or the independence of private wells and septic systems.
