Historic Wawona Ranch Wyndover, Rivage & Buchanan Estates Clovis 93619 Finding a Wilson's Rivage or Wyndover home for sale or a Wathen-Castanos Buchanan Estates home for sale in Historic Wawona Ranch may be hard to find.  In fact, checking MLS I cannot see even one home in this neighborhood East of the Buchanan Educational Complex that is currently for sale.  The only activity that I see within the past six months is five homes that have already sold.  Looking further at these details I was amazed to see that these five homes sold in an average of four days on the market.  This is at a time where 90 days on the market is considered normal.  If you are a homeowner in these neighborhoods and you think you may be putting your house for sale in the near future you should be very excited th... 12/10/2014

Wolfe Manor Haunted House Demolished by City of Clovis, CA. 93612 The City of Clovis has determined that Wolfe Manor the haunted house is to be demolished.  They are in the process of removing hazardous waste such as asbestos before the demolition can take place.  It definitely sticks out like a sore thumb with its 90 something year old, dilapidated, craftsman style architecture.  If you asked me if it was haunted I would have to say yes.  Just by the looks of it, even if it wasn't haunted one could imagine tip toeing through the 8,637 sq. ft structure with a flashlight and just freaking yourself out.  The surrounding homes in the area are nothing near its size.                                         It is almost ironic that this property is in the news in the month of October.  What ... 10/28/2014
