Location - Close to Yosemite, Far From the Rush

Blackwood Grove is conveniently located in Mariposa, California—close to Yosemite yet tucked into a peaceful pocket of nature. The home offers privacy without isolation, allowing you to enjoy quiet forest living while being near restaurants, grocery stores, and Yosemite’s major entrances.

Mariposa (15 minutes) and Oakhurst (25 minutes) both offer historic Gold Rush charm, great dining options, and family-friendly attractions such as local museums, steam train rides, and quaint old-town streets.

Outdoor activities in the area include:

Hiking & trail exploration
Fishing & boating
Snow activities (seasonal)
Water sports at Bass Lake (30 minutes away)
Horseback riding & guided tours
Rock climbing & scenic drives

The biggest draw, of course, is Yosemite National Park—known worldwide for its valleys, waterfalls, sequoias, wildlife, and world-class adventure. Yosemite can be accessed via:

South Gate (Fish Camp) – approx. 50 minutes
Yosemite Valley Entrance (El Portal) – approx. 1 hour
Travel times may increase during weekends and holidays.

Wildlife is abundant and beautiful in this region. You may spot deer, wild turkeys, squirrels, hawks, and rabbits. Less frequent but native to the area are coyotes, bears, mountain lions, raccoons, skunks, and other wild species. Poison oak and poison ivy are also part of the natural landscape.
The property is not fully fenced and sits in a serene, secluded location.

California’s Sierra Nevada region can experience seasonal wildfires (June–November). This is a natural occurrence essential to the local ecosystem.

If you`re looking for a peaceful getaway surrounded by nature, with easy access to Yosemite and modern comforts throughout, Blackwood Grove is the perfect place to gather with loved ones and create unforgettable memories.
