Discover the untamed beauty of this incredible 48-acre paradise, which far exceeds our initial expectations of 4.8 acres. From the moment we set foot on this stunning land, we became enchanted by its charm, and we’re excited to share it with you.
This is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts. Picture yourself basking in breathtaking sunsets and marveling at star-studded nights that will make you want to sleep under the open sky, savoring every invigorating breath of fresh air. Whether you bring your bikes, ATVs, fishing poles, hiking boots, horses, or beloved dogs, there’s an adventure waiting for you at every turn.
For those who seek tranquility, this is the perfect spot to relax with a good book and immerse yourself in nature's serenity. Set at an elevation of 4,000+ feet, the panoramic views are endless, and the crisp, clean air invigorates the soul.
With minimal light pollution and sweeping open skies, this spot offers front-row views to a nightly celestial show. Whether you’re watching the Milky Way stretch across the horizon or catching surprise meteor streaks and the occasional asteroid, the sky truly comes alive here. Bring your telescope or just a blanket—either way, you’re in for an unforgettable cosmic experience.
Nestled between the North and Middle Forks of the Cosumnes River and surrounded by the flourishing Fairplay Wine Region, you’ll also find historic Placerville just a short drive away. Come and create unforgettable memories in this remarkable slice of paradise!

With the help of my Father Steve, Sandy Gibson built the House of Gibson in 1983/1984. We are on one acre with an orchard, trees, and a pond. My parents (Steve and Sandy) passed in 2021; We are currently busy with restoring the property.
Our neighborhood is safe and quiet. Drop in and stay for a spell...
