PENN VALLEY
PENN VALLEY REAL ESTATE
Rural Penn Valley is country property at its relaxed best, yet
Penn Valley is only minutes from downtown Grass Valley and Nevada
City. Penn Valley properties include picturesque farms and ranches,
lush horse property, and newer homes near rolling meadows and magestic
oak trees.
PENN VALLEY PROPERTY
Although the flavor of Penn Valley is rural, with acreage, orchards,
horse property and farms, a gated subdivision in Lake Wildwood offers
luxury lake view homes.
PENN VALLEY BUSINESS COMMUNITY
The Penn Valley Chamber of Commerce supports a small but flourishing
business community. Despite the rural nature of the community, high-speed
internet is available in many areas.
A tree-shaded shopping center boasts the area’s best country
market and other convenient services. Nearby hardware stores, a
plant nursery, popular steak house and even a you-pick blueberry
farm support congenial day-to-day living.
PENN VALLEY VINEYARDS
Hillsides are dotted with vineyards due to the ideal conditions
for growing wine grape Penn Valley wineries produce award-winning
wines.
PENN VALLEY SCHOOLS
A community preschool, an elementary school, and a charter high
school make it a desirable location for families.
PENN VALLEY RECREATION
The 80-acre Western Gateway Park is the community’s center
for walking, picnicking, swimming in the creek, playgrounds, barbeques,
tennis, disk golf, soccer, and softball. It’s a dog walker’s
paradise, with a new gated, and fenced, off-leash dog park.Spenceville
Wildlife and Recreation Area
Along the western boundary of Penn Valley is the Spenceville Wildlife
and Recreation Area. Acres of hiking and equestrian trails beckon
year-round, especially during the extravagant show of spring wildflowers.
Fairy Falls along Dry creek is particularly rewarding any time of
year and the variety of birds inhabiting the area makes it a favorite
for bird-watching.
PENN VALLEY HISTORY
Historically, Penn Valley was on the route between Sacramento and
the silver mines in Nevada and this community retains it old-time
feel. Long before European settlers arrived and the trade began
to the mines, the Spenceville area was home to native people, the
most recent being the Maidu-Nisenan. The Spenceville area is rich
with Native America history. Many of the early village sites are
found along Dry Creek and its tributaries
