New Gold Rush in Sierras

California mountain homes in the Central Sierra counties of Tuolumne, Calaveras and Mariposa are luring buyers priced out of other regions, according to the Modesto Bee. It quotes Escape Homes' David Hehman: "Vacation home buyers want beautiful and natural areas, and the Central Sierra is an emerging destination. The attraction there is the natural beauty and affordability." Home prices: $350,000 or more, with many priced above $1 million.
