Rancho Murieta, an intimate community
The gated Sierra Nevada foothills community of Rancho Murieta attracts homebuyers for its golfing opportunities and laid-back vibe. But mainly, people move to Rancho Murieta to be close to friends and loved ones. “It’s a very tight-knit community. People who live there have 90% of their friends living there as well,” says Broker Associate and Realtor Samuel Weiner, who operates in the area with Samuel Weiner Home Selling Team - eXp Realty. A downside of living in Rancho Murieta is that residents may become bored with its remoteness. “Rancho Murieta is isolated from the rest of the county. It is 30 minutes from any other location,” Weiner says.

For $450,000, a homebuyer can purchase a three-bedroom, two-bathroom 1970s ranch-style house. A 2019 four-bedroom, three-bathroom farmhouse-style home sells for around $570,000. Accessors value a newly built four-bedroom Mediterranean-style home at around $670,000. A two-bedroom, three-bathroom 1970s bungalow overlooking the fairways of one of the community’s golf courses is valued at around $700,000. Homebuyers can purchase a four-bedroom, three-bathroom stone and stucco exterior home for $870,000.
