Residential suburb bordering the Siskiyou Mountains
Below Siskiyou Boulevard in southside Ashland is Mountain Ranch, a residential suburb bordering Oregon’s Rogue Valley region. Part of the neighborhood belongs to the Mountain Ranch Property Owners Association (MRPOA), a planned subdivision of 74 single-family homes, and nearby is the Oredson Todd Woods, a 300-acre outdoor space that feeds into Siskiyou Mountain Park. Douglas firs, pine trees and assorted shrubbery line the hilly neighborhood streets, blending with the natural surroundings. Commuters can drive 3 miles northwest to downtown Ashland using Siskiyou Boulevard. Medicinal spas and holistic healing centers are popular here, says Katherine Soditus, a principal broker with Real Estate Alliance & Lease and an Ashland native. “Alternative health and wellness are fully embraced in the community,” she says.
Mountain Ranch offers a quite and comfortable suburban life.

Hiking trails in Oredson Todd Woods
Mountain Ranch’s entire western boundary is the Oredson Todd Woods, a dog-friendly nature preserve with hiking and biking trails connecting to Siskiyou Mountain Park. The entrance to the woods is off Lupine Drive near the southern edge of the neighborhood, and it leads parkgoers to the mixed-use White Rabbit Trail and the hiker-only Mike Uhtoff Trail, spanning 2.4 miles. Mount Ashland, which has the highest peak within the Siskiyou Mountains, is about 12 miles south of the neighborhood. It’s home to the Mount Ashland Ski Area, a popular wintertime resort with 23 trails for skiing and snowboarding.

Convenient access to Siskiyou Boulevard
Siskiyou Boulevard is the main thoroughfare in Ashland, but residents of Mountain Ranch are also right next to Interstate 5. The highway goes around the city and travels the entire length of the West Coast. Both Siskiyou Boulevard and Interstate 5 connect to the nearby city of Medford, located roughly 16 miles north. Residents can access the Route 10 bus line operated by Rogue Valley Transportation District (RVTD) at the Siskiyou and Bellview stops.
Wine-tasting at nearby Weisinger Family Winery
Weisinger Family Winery is a popular wine-tasting spot located off of Siskiyou Boulevard. In 1988, Weisinger became Ashland’s first craft winery, specializing in varietals made only with fruit from local vineyards. Two strip malls – the Ashland Shopping Center and the Gateway Shopping Center – sit in a small triangular commercial area at the intersection of Ashland Street and Siskiyou Boulevard. Ashland Shopping Center has the Ashland Artisan Emporium, an eclectic antique store, and several dining spots, including Little Shop of Bagels and Northwest Pizza, which hosts open-mic night. “You can go to any of the wineries or bars in Ashland, and they'll have things like open mic and poetry nights,” Soditus says. “They'll be like, 'Come on in, plug in your guitar and play!’” At the Gateway Shopping Center, residents can shop for groceries at the Market of Choice Ashland or order lunch next door at Falafel Republic, a Mediterranean takeout restaurant.
The Weisinger Family Winery offers a high class wine tasting experience in Mountain Ranch.

Free wildfire risk assessments
Because of the surrounding forests and dry climate in southern Oregon, all residential and commercial properties in Ashland are at an elevated risk of being affected by wildfire. The City of Ashland has taken steps to prevent fire damage by building properties with fire-resistant construction materials and providing free home assessments to evaluate fire risk through Ashland Fire & Rescue’s Fire Adapted Communities program.
