Coarsegold, CA Real Estate — Homes For Sale in Coarsegold, CA

I live in Coarsegold area near the Chukchansi Resort and Casino. Coarsegold, once a sleepy town on the way to Yosemite National Park on Highway 41, is now a busy community in Eastern Madera County. The town of Coarsegold is 7 miles south of Oakhurst on Highway 41. Mining flourished in the Coarsegold area from 1849 to 1865. By 1850 "Coarsegold Gulch" boasted 10,000 residents. Although Coarsegold was named for the gold mined in the area quartz was also plentiful. Take a look at the monument about the area in Coarsegold's Historic Village, located on the corner of Hwy 41 and Road 415. Points of Interest include the Coarsegold Historic Museum (south of Lucky Lane) and the Historic Village at Hwy 41 and Raymond Road/Road 415. The area is dotted with old mines, but many are on privately owned property. The Coarsegold region ranges in elevation from approximately 1,200 feet to 3,000 feet. Downtown Coarsegold offers a grocery store (The Coarsegold Market), The Wild Fig, a small but GREAT restaurant, numerous galleries and gift shops, several restaurants, fast food, convenience stores and gas stations, and the Coarsegold Historic Village with arts and craft shops and year round community events. Coarsegold's population is approximately 9,500. Coarsegold terrain is generally more rolling and level than Oakhurst. Coarsegold weather is more mild than Oakhurst and Bass Lake weather. Yosemite Lakes Park (YLP) in Coarsegold is a 2,300 acre subdivision with Club House, pool, bar and restaurant. YLP is an easy commute to Fresno. less

Yosemite lakes park or YLP for short. A home owners association runs the area and within the park are a few restaurants, a grocery store, a pool, a golf course, a gas station, horse stables, and a few other things all within 15 minutes. This community is located about 30 minutes North from Fresno which is the main city for shopping outlets and entertainment. The community is also 20 minutes and 30 minutes away from Coarsegold and Oakhurst respectively. Coarsegold is a location with some Restaurants and another grocery store. This is also where a number of community events are held throughout the year. Oakhurst on the other hand is the main hub town in our area. It has the cheapest grocery stores (3 in fact) as well as a number of restaurants, it even has a movie theater that the community saved from closing a number of years back. From Oakhurst you can head 30 minutes or so east to get to bass lake where firework shows are put on every 4th of july as well as a number of other events. North from Oakhurst about 45 minutes is the entrance to Yosemite national park. West from Oakhurst is the town of Mariposa, I don't know enough about it to say what's out there other than a DMV and a number of shops and restaurants. As far as people go its your stereotypical small town. Everyone knows everyone and for the most part we care about those in our community. That's not to say there aren't people who are less than savory but as a whole people of all nationalities are accepted with kindness. less
