Bickford sits on a rise in the land north of Rocklin and just east of Lincoln – a long, oak‑lined ridge where the horizon opens and the valley begins to fall away behind you.
This was once a working ranch, held by the Bickford family for generations. That history isn’t decorative. It shaped the way this land was cared for, and it continues to shape how it’s being built today.
At roughly 700 to 900 feet above the valley floor, the setting feels different in ways that don’t need exaggeration. The air moves. The light stretches farther. On winter mornings, the fog often lingers below while the ridge wakes up clear. Native live oaks remain scattered across the hillsides. Arroyos cut through the terrain. Trails follow the natural contours instead of fighting them.
It’s not remote. Lincoln, Rocklin, and Roseville are minutes away. Downtown Sacramento is an easy drive. Folsom Lake, the Sierra foothills, Napa Valley, and Lake Tahoe are close enough for spontaneous weekends.
But when you’re here, it doesn’t feel like the valley.
Bickford is planned for approximately 1,890 homes – including single‑family neighborhoods, custom opportunities, and a 55+ enclave with its own private Club. Parks, trails, a future school, and a fire station are part of the long‑term plan. Homes are offered by Toll Brothers, Trilogy® by Shea Homes®, and Tri Pointe® Homes.
Bickford isn’t trying to be louder than its surroundings.
It’s built to belong to them.
At Bickford, the homes are not placed on the land – they are shaped by it.
Three respected builders – Trilogy® by Shea Homes®, Toll Brothers, and Tri Pointe® Homes – are crafting neighborhoods that respond to the ridge itself: its contours, its light, its open horizons. Each brings a distinct architectural perspective, but all are guided by the same principle – that a home here should feel grounded, intentional, and connected to its setting.
Explore the builders and find the expression that feels like yours.
Trilogy Bickford sits within the ridge’s gentle rise, where homes are arranged to frame open sky and the rhythm of daily life. Floorplans are grounded in proportion, light, and thoughtful transitions between rooms and outdoor space. Interiors feel intentional – calm living spaces, clear lines of sight, and material choices that balance warmth with precision.
Site planning prioritizes continuity with the landscape: oak stands remain, paths connect common areas, and shared spaces are uncomplicated and open. The private Club is an extension of this design – oriented as a place of gathering that feels natural, not staged.
Ridgeline occupies one of the clearest expressions of the land’s geometry. Homes rise with measured volume, generous ceilings, and carefully composed sightlines that draw the eye outward. Form and orientation work together so that daylight, proportion, and view become part of the experience without ornament.
Here, architecture is about relationship – between interior and exterior, between solid and void, between room and horizon. A new home speaks in a restrained material palette, an ordered plan, and intentional connection to the ridge beneath it.
Mountaingate’s architecture responds to both natural context and contemporary living patterns. Two‑story plans with ground‑level suites and open circulation reinforce a sense of clarity in space. Rooms are framed with generous light, and transitions between interior and outdoor areas are seamless rather than forced.
Layouts feel purposeful: areas for gathering, retreat, and everyday flow are balanced with simple geometries and materials that feel both current and grounded. The design doesn’t shout; it settles into its setting, attentive to proportion and the ridge’s cadence.
Bickford is planned to include a range of amenities designed to serve both the broader community and select neighborhoods.
For all residents, the community is expected to offer miles of hiking, biking, and equestrian trails that follow the natural contours of the land, along with neighborhood parks, courts, and sports fields intended to support everyday recreation. Plans also include a future fire station within the community and inclusion in the highly regarded Loomis Union School District. For at least the early years of the community, all residents in Bickford are expected to have access to dining at 1876, the feature restaurant located within the Ridge Wellness + Social Club.
Within the Trilogy by Shea Homes enclave, homeowners are planned to receive full access to the Ridge Wellness + Social Club. The Club is expected to include pools, fitness facilities, gathering spaces, and additional courts designed specifically for Trilogy residents.
As the community develops, these amenities are intended to create a connected environment – where trails link neighborhoods, shared spaces encourage activity, and everyday life extends beyond the walls of the home.
