Russell Valley, CA Homes
Russel Valley homes are located about a 20 min drive north from Truckee, so a closer alternative to Sierra County, but also pricier. Russel Valley offers homes with meadow and mountain vistas, Russel Valley ranches, and Russel Valley acreage. Your Russel Valley property will get you off the grid, but it still has the mountain feel, and not so much a rural feel. Most roads are not paved, so 4×4 preferred.
