The historical Romano Ranch offers a rare opportunity to own approximately 144 acres of historically significant Sierra Nevada land where the Yuba River, forest, meadows, mountain views, and distinctive historic features come together in one remarkable setting. The contemporary three bedroom, two bathroom, 2,600 sf ranch is nestled within the magnificent private river canyon which includes approximately three-quarters of a mile of Yuba River flowing through the property, magical swimming hole just steps from the main house, four open meadows, a newer barn modeled after the original 1870s barn, creeks, mature forest, seasonal waterfalls, and the original cabin still stands amongst the breathtaking views of the rugged crags of the Sierra Buttes. There’s always a sense of wonder and awe that you experience every time you drive over the river on your own private bridge to the opening of ranch land that hosts the potential for creating an ideal setting for a private residence, family retreat, generational property, creative sanctuary, conservation project, or working ranch. It all comes together to create an appealing balance between modern livability and historic character all the while being on the magical Yuba River. 800 Romano Ranch Road is far more than a conventional real estate offering—it is a distinctive and deeply rooted Sierra County property offering the next owner the opportunity to enjoy an extraordinary natural setting while becoming the steward of a continuing mountain legacy with documented history. Truly a magical, once in a lifetime opportunity! There’s no river quite like the Yuba River! Property details, acreage, boundaries, water rights, access, utilities, structures, historic status, zoning, permitted uses, and all measurements should be independently verified by the buyer.
