With 50 acres at your disposal, there is no shortage of space to explore, hike, or simply revel in the beauty of nature. Immerse yourself in the vibrant colors of wildflowers, breathe in the crisp mountain air, and let your senses come alive. Whether you seek a relaxing getaway or an outdoor adventure, Starview Ranch creates cherished memories that will last a lifetime. This listing at Starview Ranch includes: The Main House is at the top of the property with 3 bedrooms, laundry room, full kitchen and 1 full bathroom (bathroom 1 - please note that there is only one bathroom inside the main house). There is an expansive front patio, a wisteria covered patio off the sun bedroom and the back patio has a large dining table with stunning views of the Sierras. Just a short walk from the back is a fire pit with Adirondack chairs and benches. Sleeps 6-8. The wellness area is located about 400 ft downhill from the main house and includes a 75 ft lap pool, 8 person jacuzzi, wood burning sauna imported from Finland, cabana with a toilet, sink and shower (bathroom 2), seating for 14, a large gas grill and a 400 sq ft fully equipped gym. Starview Ranch is a working ranch and is home to 3 cows plus an apiary with active beehives situated well away from the dwellings. There are several trails and interesting things to see around Starview Ranch. Feel free to explore around the property but keep a safe distance from the bee hives at the apiary. Also, the fence surrounding the apiary is electrified. The main driveway along the property is an access road to a neighboring property. No one is currently living there but rarely a vehicle may drive through. The "sunset spot" near the garden is the perfect place to enjoy views of gorgeous sunsets over Squaw valley (even better with a glass of wine). The fireplaces, sauna and fire pit should not be used during summer months when the fire risk is high. The gas BBQ grills at the wellness area and at the cottage can be used year-round. I would like to remind guests that this property is out in the beautiful wilderness. Along with that comes both large and small animals that live here, whether we like them or not. You are in the great outdoors and may encounter wildlife. If doors or windows (without screens) are left open these critters and many bugs tend to find their way in. I recommend only opening up the screened windows and ensuring doors are not left open. Also, no matter how rigorously the house is cleaned (and I take cleaning very seriously) there may be some dead bugs or a small cobweb that was created in the short time from cleaning to your check in... again this is just a fact of life on a 50 acre ranch in the middle of nowhere. Starview Ranch is located in a remote area in the Sierra Nevada foothills. The drive to the property from either Kings Canyon Drive or from the 245 involve curvy mountain roads with switchbacks and sharp turns which can also be narrow in some places. Also, the drive to Kings Canyon National Park is a windy mountain road. One more thing to note: The 3 cows on the property will keep their distance but are generally friendly. They will be even more friendly if you offer them apples ;) Also, the cow pies are just part of the charm of life at Starview Ranch. One last piece of advice: Pack and wear clothes that you don't mind getting a little dusty/ dirty. Again, part of the charm.About pets:Pets allowed: dogs (limit 2 total).About checkOut:Check out before 11:00 AM.About children:Children allowed: ages 0-17.About checkIn:Check in after 3:00 PM.About smoking:Smoking is not permitted.About minBookingAge:Minimum age to rent: 21.About events:Events allowed: family gatherings and birthday parties.Maximum event attendees: 20.
