Explore and discover nature at our 60-acre ranch to reset and transform you with that special getaway-from-it-all feeling. Enjoy prancing in the lush meadows, communing with nature, be awed with the grandeur of the surrounding Sierra mountains. Enjoy leisure walks or bike around the fenced horse arena, find hiking trails, chase the wild turkeys, engage with a herd of deers, and have endless time for bird watching. Stargazing would be the highlight of your nights. Feel refreshed by dipping your toes in the cool Merced River a few miles away.
ET Ranch was once owned by Arabian horse breeders. Now, the well-maintained fenced horse arena is frequently visited by roaming wildlife. Chirping birds abound and those wood peckers truly want to make their mark. Bring your meditation mats and youll surely find an engaging space for relaxation under the oak trees or by the misty meadows.
ET Ranch can be your base camp to Yosemite National Park (YNP) via Hwy 140. It is about 26 miles to the south entrance.
ET Ranch can accommodate family gatherings or retreats.
Directions to the ranch: Take Hwy 99 to Merced and exit to Hwy 140. As you exit highway 140 to Colorado Rd, the paved road will lead you to the main gate on the corner of Rumley Mine Rd. As you enter the easement, watch out for those herd of deer that likes to welcome people. The well-maintained gravel road will lead you on the left to the main ranch house, ET Ranch House. Across the road to the right, perched on a knoll, we also have the Yosemite Dome Home @ET Ranch which is a unique dome-shaped house for 3 - 4. If you have a smaller group, check out this listing: Yosemite Dome Home @ET Ranch, https://houfy.com/76880
