16035 Running Springs Road

Set above the valley with commanding southwest views, 16035 Running Springs Road is a private 40-plus-acre ranch estate built for those who value open land, horses, and independence. The property combines a fully functional equestrian setup with a flexible residential layout supporting multigenerational living, income potential, or guest accommodations. The primary ranch residence offers approximately 2,156 sq ft with 4 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, featuring open beam vaulted ceilings, wood and tile floors, and natural gathering space between the kitchen, dining room, and family room. Expansive windows and an attached deck capture panoramic sunset views across the rolling foothills, creating a daily connection to the surrounding landscape. Attached, yet privately oriented, is a separate 1,400-square-foot ADU with 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, a full kitchen, a living area, and its own 2-car garage. Separate front and rear entrances create flexibility for extended family, caretaker housing, or continued short-term rental use. The land is purpose-built for equestrian use. The ranch includes a fully fenced setup with a detached 7-stall barn, tack room, wash racks, irrigated pastures, round pen, and rectangular arena. Internal ranch roads run along the northeast boundary extending toward the rear acreage, allowing vehicle access throughout the property. Roughly half the land consists of rolling pasture with mature oak trees, while the remaining acreage transitions into open range terrain with sagebrush, scattered trees, and additional grazing ground. Infrastructure supports ranch operations and modern living with a large solar array tied to grid power and a backup generator system, along with strong wells supporting irrigation. Two gated entrances serve the ranch. The primary driveway leads to the main residence, while a secondary gated access point allows equipment or livestock movement to additional portions of the property. Despite the privacy and size of the land, daily conveniences remain close. Grass Valley Hay and Feed and Esteme Equine are nearby for ranch supplies. Nevada County Consolidated Fire District Station 92 is approximately 1.7 miles away, Cedar Creek School is 4 miles away, Clear Creek Country Store is 5 miles away, and Becker Stables Arabian Show Horses is approximately 6 miles away. This rare Nevada County ranch provides usable acreage, equestrian infrastructure, dual living flexibility, and commanding foothill views, all just minutes from Grass Valley.
