Nevada County Airport KGOO is a public use airport and enjoys full FBO, services, flight training, aircraft rentals, hangar lease and hangar ownership/ ground lease opportunities.

  Grass Valley is situated roughly half way between Sacramento and Lake Tahoe in the Sierra Nevadas.  It was thriving back in the gold rush days of the 1850s.  It now has a population of 11,150, and sits at 2,450 elevation. It is a pretty ideal location, as it is above the fog belt, but rarely gets snow. It is surrounded by forest, with beautiful tall pine trees. There are several fine restraurants, two movie theatres, and many excellent wineries in the Historical Downtown area.  Not too far away is the South Fork of the Yuba River, and this provides a very scenic area to go to and enjoy the day swimming or picnicing at the shore - all of which is free if you know where to go. Real Estate is a great bargain here, and it would not be too difficult to find excellent homes for $150 per squ... 04/06/2010

Grass Valley is a wonderful city in Nevada County California gold country. It's current population is approximately 12,000 people. Grass Valley was founded during the California Gold Rush, as was neighboring Nevada City. It is the location of the Empire Mine, which is one of the richest mines in California. Times were hard in the early days of Grass Valley California - the territory had to be cleared so houses could be built. Trees were cut down, burned or turned into lumber to build the homes and schools. Very little was wasted and the quality of life in Nevada County began to steadily develop. Water had to be carried by nearby springs prior to wells being dug. Stones were cut and shaped, and crops were sown and harvested by hand.  The name Grassy Valley seemed appropriate when immigr... 02/10/2010

Hi Folks, Showing & selling rural property in the Sierra foothills puts me in close touch with people and family's looking to be closer to the land and who wish to enjoy a simpler life than they have been accustomed to. Permaculture is one of those topics that comes up often. "Permaculture (a combination of two words: Permanent & Agriculture) is about designing ecological human habitats and food production systems. It is a land use and community building movement which strives for the harmonious integration of human dwellings, microclimates, annual and perennial plants, animals, soils, and water into stable, productive communities. The focus is not on these elements themselves, but rather on the relationships created among them by the way we place them in the landscape. This synergy is ... 09/25/2009
