Beckwourth, CA

Beckwourth sits in eastern Plumas County, set against the wide-open expanse of the Sierra Valley just east of Portola. Named after the legendary frontiersman Jim Beckwourth, this historic community is home to fewer than 500 residents who value quiet country living and panoramic mountain views. It is a peaceful pocket of Northern California where working ranches stretch beneath big skies, ideal for anyone looking for plenty of open space.

For everyday errands, healthcare, and dining, residents make the short drive into Portola, while families are served by the Plumas Unified School District. Pilots and aviation hobbyists take advantage of the local Beckwourth-Nervino Airport, and outdoor recreation is right outside your door, with great fishing, birdwatching, and mountain trails nearby. Beckwourth offers an unhurried, independent lifestyle in a stunning alpine valley setting.
