Auberry's alpine wilderness above the Fresno fog
Auberry is an unincorporated community in the alpine wilderness of Central California. Its winding roads rise through private woodland farms above the bustling city of Fresno. In the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, Auberry is a scenic village, engulfed in nature, with plenty of outdoor activities. "You're surrounded by beauty, with peace and quiet above the fog," says Jeri Kuddes, an area local and broker associate at Realty Concepts, Ltd., with over 30 years of experience. "We are in the foothills east of Fresno, so we have access to the surrounding lakes, ski resorts and the city."
Surrounded by nature, residents of Auberry can enjoy the beauty present in the mountains.

Spruce forests and grasslands with eclectic architecture
Houses sit among a mountainous terrain, with tall grasslands and dry spruce forests. Many properties are heavily wooded, and parcels of land can reach up to 45 acres. Home sizes may reach 3,500 square feet. The area features contemporary architecture, traditional farm-style and ranch-style homes on private driveways. Home prices range from $170,000 to $900,000. Manufactured homes are also available, costing between $150,000 and $300,000.
Given its elevation above the Tule Fog, Auberry typically has better air quality than much of the state. However, wildfires contribute to poor air quality and have a history of causing property damage, particularly during the Creek Fire of 2019.
Many homes in Auberry make use of the California sun by having solar panels.
Private driveways add convenience and privacy.

Exploring mountains and lakes in the Sierras
The Sierra National Forest surrounds Auberry to the north, with plenty of hiking and equestrian trails throughout the Sierra Nevada Mountains. The Ya-Gub-Weh-Tuh Trail is a rocky hiking trail that connects to the San Joaquin River Gorge and multiple other trail systems. About 20 miles west, the Millerton Lake State Recreation Area features campgrounds and hiking trails in the canyons above a blue lake. "We are close to hiking areas, campgrounds and the China Peak Ski Resort," Kuddes says. The China Peak Ski Resort is approximately 35 miles east, with 1,200 acres of skiiable terrain and 45 runs.
