Fiddletown Ranch Properties Available

 

Three remaining parcels in the Sierra Foothills, 45 miles east of Sacramento and 20 miles south of Placerville, located above the fog and smog and below the snow line.  One parcel has magnificent 360 degree views and both have multiple view building sites.  All parcels are currently being withdrawn from the Williamson Act and will be out by 2009, at which time it could be possible to subdivide further, but following the provisions of the Amador County Master Plan.

 

2.5 miles away is the Gold Rush town of Fiddletown, 6 miles off Highway 49.  Amador County is home to a unique part of the Gold Rush region and has restored areas in Fiddletown, Plymouth, Drytown, Amador City, Sutter Creek, Jackson and Volcano.  

 

They offer convenience because of the location in northwestern Amador County with best proximity to Sacramento, Rancho Cordova/Folsom and El Dorado Hills business areas.  Fiddletown is on a short-cut to Kirkwood (Hwy 88) ski area and many other Sierra Mountain recreation areas.  The property’s close proximity to the Shenandoah Valley wine region makes it especially desirable.

 

The ranch is located in the Fiddletown Viticulture Area, and is approximately 3 miles by road or 1 mile by Crow from the Shenandoah Valley (where wine grapes have been grown since the 1850’s).  The ranch is adjacent to an established vineyard.   

 

Parcels 2 and 3 have access from north Quartz Mountain Road (County road 51) and acces through the parcels is via a new, 18' wide graveled road. The price includes electrical power and telephone access, at least at the property line.   The 252 acre parcel has access from American Flat Road.   Easements and Road Maintenance Agreements will be in place for owners.

 

The ranch is home to deer, quail, wood pigeon, bobcat and turkeys.  It currently is grazed by Miniature Highland Cattle.  There are pastures, meadows and miles of trails.
