Sequoia Crest, CA

Set high on the western slopes of the Sierra Nevada in Tulare County, Sequoia Crest is a tiny mountain community surrounded by ancient giant sequoia groves. The neighborhood consists mainly of rustic cabins and quiet retreats bordering the Giant Sequoia National Monument. Life here is slow and private, centered on cool alpine weather, forest scenery, and pure solitude. It offers a rare opportunity to live among some of the largest trees on Earth, as long as you are prepared for snowy winters and remote mountain logistics.
