A resort-style development in the heart of the Central Valley
Set in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains, Tesoro Viejo is an oasis in the sprawl of the Central Valley. “It’s a beautiful 1600-acre site of rolling hills and scenic vistas with access to the San Joaquin River,” says Shelle Hartmann, Director of Sales and Events for Tesoro Viejo. “There are nearly 400 acres of preserved natural open space, along with parks, trails and recreational amenities. There is a strong sense of community fostered by a year-round calendar of events and gathering places located throughout the community.” Just a few miles north of Fresno and east of Madera, this development is sustainable and self-contained while still within reasonable commuting distance of both cities. Residents gain access to the many community amenities and enjoy proximity to some of America’s most treasured natural landscapes. “It’s an incredible resort kind of lifestyle,” says Elsa Gutierrez, Principal Broker with London Properties, who has over 20 years of experience in Central Valley real estate. “If you like outdoor living, it’s the place to be.”
