Creek-Front Private Retreat | 64.66 Acres | Fiddletown, California There are properties that require imagination to see their potential, and then there are properties that make their potential impossible to miss. This extraordinary 64.66-acre creek-front parcel near historic Fiddletown and the world-renowned Shenandoah Valley Wine Country falls firmly into the second category. From the moment you arrive, the combination of natural beauty, thoughtful preparation, and sheer scale communicates something that experienced land buyers recognize immediately: this is the one. Land That Lives and Breathes Sixty-four acres is a number. What it feels like on this particular piece of ground is something altogether different. The property rolls and opens across varied foothill terrain — meadows giving way to treed draws, elevated ridgelines offering long views across the surrounding countryside, and throughout it all, the quiet, steady presence of a year-round creek threading its way through the landscape. That creek is not merely a amenity. It is the heartbeat of the property. Year-round water features of this kind are among the most coveted and increasingly scarce assets in California rural land ownership. The creek adds sensory richness — the sound of moving water, the lush riparian vegetation along its banks, the wildlife it draws throughout the seasons — while simultaneously enhancing the land's agricultural potential, recreational appeal, and long-term investment value. Properties with reliable, year-round surface water at this acreage, in this location, simply do not come available often. Beyond the creek, the land itself is diverse and deeply usable. Rolling terrain provides natural variation and visual interest, while open areas offer ample room for horses, livestock, gardens, orchards, or any number of rural pursuits. Mature trees punctuate the landscape, providing shade, habitat, and the kind of established natural character that takes generations to develop. This is land that rewards not just a single vision, but the full range of possibilities that 64 acres of well-watered foothill ground can support. Build-Ready From Day One For buyers who have spent time searching for rural land, the phrase "build-ready" carries enormous weight — because truly build-ready properties are far rarer than listings suggest. This property earns that description honestly and completely. A building pad has been prepared and positioned with intention, sited to capture sweeping views of the surrounding foothill landscape. This is not a flat spot cleared for convenience — it is a homesite chosen for the experience it will deliver every single day. Morning coffee with those views. Evening light painting the hills. The sense of arrival that comes from approaching a home that feels exactly right in its setting. Beneath that compelling setting lies a foundation of practical infrastructure that transforms this from a beautiful piece of land into a genuinely actionable development opportunity: Power is available on the property — eliminating one of the most costly and time-consuming utility challenges in rural development. A private well is already in place — providing a secured, independent water source that supports both residential use and the broader needs of a working rural property. And perhaps most significantly, a standard septic permit has been approved for a 4-bedroom home — a milestone in the entitlement process that requires engineering, percolation testing, county review, and approval, all of which has already been completed on your behalf. Together, these three infrastructure components — power, well, and approved septic permit — represent a substantial investment of time and money that a new owner simply does not have to make. The groundwork is done. The approvals are in place. What remains is the most rewarding part: designing and building the home you've always envisioned. A Setting Made for the Life You've Been Planning Whether your vision is refined or still taking shape, this property offers the physical canvas and the practical infrastructure to support an exceptionally wide range of rural lifestyle aspirations. For those dreaming of a private country estate, the prepared building pad, sweeping views, and year-round creek create a setting of genuine distinction — one where architecture and landscape can work together to produce something truly special. For equestrian enthusiasts, the combination of open acreage, rolling terrain, established trails potential, and reliable water makes this an ideal horse property with room for barn, pasture, and riding without ever leaving your own land. For those drawn to hobby farming or agricultural pursuits, the land's water resources, open areas, and acreage provide the foundation for gardens, orchards, small-scale livestock operations, or the kind of self-sufficient rural lifestyle that more and more buyers are actively seeking. And for those simply in search of a private weekend and vacation retreat, the creek, the views, the space, and the proximity to world-class wine country make this a destination property in every sense of the word. The Best Address in Gold Country Location is the one thing that cannot be changed, added, or improved — and this property's location is exceptional. Fiddletown, one of Amador County's most characterful and historic small communities, is just minutes away, offering that rare small-town atmosphere that feels authentic rather than manufactured. The community's deep roots in California's Gold Rush history and its connection to the surrounding agricultural landscape give it a sense of place that resonates with buyers seeking something real. More broadly, the Shenandoah Valley Wine Country — home to dozens of award-winning wineries, tasting rooms, and farm-to-table dining experiences — is practically at your doorstep. Amador County's wine scene has earned national and international recognition, attracting visitors from across California and beyond, and living within minutes of it is one of the genuine privileges of foothill life in this region. The broader area offers hiking, fishing, horseback riding, and the full suite of outdoor recreation that the Sierra Foothills corridor provides, along with convenient access to the Gold Country's beloved communities — Sutter Creek, Jackson, Plymouth, and beyond — each offering its own collection of restaurants, shops, and community events. Rural peace and genuine community. Natural beauty and wine country sophistication. Privacy and accessibility. This property delivers all of it, without compromise. An Opportunity This Complete Doesn't Wait Creek-front properties of this size, in this location, with this level of infrastructure already in place, are not a category with deep inventory. They appear rarely, attract serious attention when they do, and the best ones find new owners quickly. The combination of 64.66 acres, a year-round creek, an approved septic permit, an existing well, available power, and a prepared building site with views — all within minutes of the Shenandoah Valley — is genuinely extraordinary. Bring your architect, your contractor, your horses, and your plans. Everything else is already here. Property Highlights: • 64.66 total acres of scenic, rolling Sierra Foothill terrain • Year-round creek running through the property — rare and highly valuable • Prepared building pad positioned to capture sweeping foothill views • Power is already available on the property • Private well already in place — independent water source secured • 4-bedroom septic permit approved — significant entitlement milestone already completed • Build-ready — power, water, and septic all addressed for a new owner • Rolling terrain and open meadows — ideal for horses, livestock, gardening, and recreation • Exceptional privacy with expansive natural surroundings • Minutes from historic Fiddletown and the Gold Rush charm of Amador County • Moments from Shenandoah Valley Wine Country — award-winning wineries and dining • Versatile use potential — private estate, equestrian property, hobby farm, or weekend retreat • Rare opportunity — build-ready creek-front acreage of this size seldom available in this area

Some properties are simply land. Others are an invitation — to build something meaningful, to live differently, to finally create the life you've been quietly imagining. Trembath Mountain Retreat #2 is the latter. Set among the rolling hills and ancient oaks of Amador County's beloved Sierra Foothills, this 43.26-acre parcel outside Sutter Creek offers a rare and genuinely exciting opportunity: a property that is beautiful enough to inspire your vision and practical enough to help you execute it. The Land Itself There is a particular quality to foothill land that is difficult to describe and impossible to replicate. It is in the way afternoon light filters through a canopy of mature oaks. It is in the stillness of a pine-scented morning before the world wakes up. It is in the sense of scale — of standing on your own ground and seeing nothing but rolling terrain, open sky, and the quiet evidence of nature doing what it has done for centuries undisturbed. Trembath Mountain Retreat #2 delivers all of that. The property spans 43.26 acres of varied, picturesque foothill terrain, richly textured with a diverse mix of mature native oaks and pines that provide natural shade, wildlife habitat, and the kind of visual depth that makes a landscape feel alive. Meadow areas open between the trees, offering both aesthetic beauty and practical usability for a range of rural lifestyle pursuits. The topography is the kind that rewards exploration — rolling and varied, with natural draws, elevated vantage points, and the sense that every corner of the property has something worth discovering. This is land built for people who want more than a yard. It is land built for people who want a world of their own. A Building Site Ready for Your Vision One of the most time-consuming and uncertain aspects of rural land ownership is identifying and preparing the right site for a future home. That work has already been done here. A building pad is in place on the property, thoughtfully positioned to take full advantage of the stunning foothill views that define this landscape. Whether you envision a modest country farmhouse, a sprawling single-story ranch home, or an architecturally ambitious mountain retreat, the groundwork — quite literally — is already laid. The site's orientation and elevation make it the kind of homesite that architects love and homeowners never stop appreciating: a place where the views are a daily reminder of why you chose to live here. Utilities Already Underway In rural land development, utilities are often the first major obstacle and the first major expense. Here, that obstacle has already been meaningfully addressed. Power is available on the property, and a drilled well is already in place — two of the most critical infrastructure components for any rural homesite, secured and ready for a new owner to build upon. Together, these improvements represent significant time and capital invested before you ever break ground. They mean fewer unknowns, a shorter timeline from purchase to construction, and the confidence that comes from knowing your foundational infrastructure is already in place. For buyers who have explored raw land without utilities, the difference this makes — practically and financially — cannot be overstated. Your Own Private Trail System Beyond the homesite and infrastructure, Trembath Mountain Retreat #2 offers something that simply cannot be manufactured: the freedom to roam your own land. Private trails wind through the property, tracing paths through the oaks and across the open terrain, inviting exploration by foot, by horseback, or by ATV. For families with children, these trails become adventures. For equestrian enthusiasts, they become daily rides through a private landscape. For anyone who has dreamed of stepping out their back door and disappearing into the quiet of their own property, they become something close to essential. The property's size and trail network make it genuinely self-contained as a recreational destination — no trailhead parking lots, no crowds, no schedules. Just your land, your trails, and your pace. Room for Every Vision One of the most compelling qualities of a property like this is its versatility. At 43.26 acres with infrastructure in place, a prepared building site, established trails, and a mix of open and treed terrain, this land accommodates an exceptionally wide range of visions: A private family estate, set back from the world with room for a main home, guest quarters, and outdoor living spaces that take full advantage of the foothill setting. A working hobby farm or ranch, with ample acreage for livestock, pasture, a barn, and the kind of agricultural lifestyle that is increasingly sought and increasingly rare near desirable communities. A gentleman's retreat, a weekend and vacation property designed for horses, ATVs, hunting, hiking, and the restorative experience of real open space. Or simply a long-term land investment in one of Northern California's most desirable foothill counties — a place to hold, to enjoy, and to pass down. Whatever your vision, this land has the size, the infrastructure, and the natural character to support it. The Best of Both Worlds: Seclusion and Community True privacy and genuine convenience are rarely found together. Trembath Mountain Retreat #2 offers both. The property's seclusion is real — on your land, you are surrounded by nature, not neighbors. Yet Sutter Creek, one of the most beloved towns in the Gold Country, is just a short drive away. Sutter Creek offers a quality of small-town life that draws people from across California and beyond. Its historic Main Street is lined with restaurants, wine bars, boutique shops, art galleries, and the kind of community character that larger towns spend decades trying to recreate. Day-to-day conveniences — grocery stores, medical services, hardware stores — are readily accessible, and the broader Amador County region adds wine tasting in the Shenandoah Valley, outdoor recreation at area lakes and trails, and easy connections to Highway 49's corridor of foothill communities. You get the land. You get the privacy. And you get the town. That combination is rarer than most buyers realize until they've spent time looking for it. Experience It For Yourself Words and photographs capture only so much of what makes a property special. Be sure to watch the video tour to experience the full beauty, scale, and potential of Trembath Mountain Retreat #2 — then come walk it in person. Some properties you appreciate. This one, you feel. Bring your family, your animals, your blueprints, and your imagination. This is where the life you've been dreaming of begin.

Where the Sierra Nevada Meets the Sky A ridge-top sanctuary — 3 bed · 2 bath · Master Suite · ADU · Barn · Pool · Solar · Wildlife Infinity Views There are homes you live in, and then there are homes that change you. This is the latter — a custom-crafted ridge-top estate perched at the crown of the Amador County foothills, commanding a full 360° panorama that sweeps from the jagged spine of the Sierra Nevada in the east to the rolling silhouette of the Coastal Range dissolving into Pacific haze in the west. Every sunrise here is an event. Every sunset, a ceremony. Positioned to capture the full drama of the sky, the property offers unobstructed sight lines across valleys, ridge lines, and the golden geometry of the California interior — visible from nearly every room, every terrace, every corner of this extraordinary estate. "The kind of view painters have chased for centuries — and here, it is simply the backyard." THE RESIDENCE Step through the front door and the world opens up. Soaring cathedral ceilings draw the eye upward before your gaze inevitably finds the glass and the endless sky beyond. The main residence is a masterwork of intentional design — rich, hand-finished concrete floors flow through living spaces that feel both monumental and intimately warm, anchored by a wood-burning stone fireplace with a commanding hearth that becomes the gravitational center of every gathering. The kitchen is nothing short of a chef's obsession made manifest — stone countertops of sweeping natural slabs form a workspace that is equal parts sculpture and function, professional-grade in its ambition yet warm with the soul of a home that is truly lived in. THE MASTER SUITE The grand master suite is a destination unto itself — a private world within the world. Generous in scale and lavish in detail, it was designed not merely for rest but for complete restoration. At the heart of the suite, a walk-in stone shower wrapped in natural slab offers a daily ritual that rivals any spa on earth, while the oversized, luxury soaking tub invites long, unhurried evenings with a book and a glass of something worthy of the occasion. But the true showpiece is what lies just beyond: glass doors open directly from the master suite onto the private outdoor terrace and pool, dissolving the boundary between the interior and the infinite. Step outside at dawn in a robe, coffee in hand, and watch the Sierra Nevada ignite in the first light of morning — the pool still, the air clean, the hawks already riding the thermals above the Amador ridge. There is no better way to begin a day. "Glass doors, a sunken tub, and a stone shower — then straight out to the terrace and the Sierra sky. The master suite is its own universe." OUTDOOR LIVING Outside, the estate unfolds across meticulously fenced and cross-fenced acreage. The built-in pool — both heated and cooled — sits at the edge of the ridge like a reflecting pool for the heavens, offering swimmers a horizon of pure mountain and sky. Adjacent, the screened-in patio with private jacuzzi invites long evenings under a canopy of stars, sheltered from the breeze but open to the enormity of the Sierra night. A Western sunset here does not merely set — it ignites the Coastal Range in amber and rose, casting long shadows across the valley floor in a daily spectacle that never dulls, never repeats exactly, never fails to stop conversation mid-sentence. WILDLIFE & NATURAL WORLD The land around this estate teems with the wild, unhurried rhythms of Amador County foothill life. This isnot a manicured neighborhood — it is a living ecosystem, and the property sits squarely within it. Deer graze the meadow edges at dusk, unhurried and unbothered. Wild turkeys move through the oak woodland in loose, raucous processions. Red-tailed hawks and golden eagles ride the thermal columns above the ridge, often at eye level from the terrace. A fox or two patrol the fenceline at dawn, all amber and cunning, gone before you're sure you saw them. Squirrels work the oaks tirelessly, and the air is filled morning to evening with the calls and songs of a remarkable diversity of birds — woodpeckers drumming the dead snags, bluebirds on the fence posts, hummingbirds at the blooms, and dozens more species that make every morning feel like a discovery. For the naturalist, the birdwatcher, the hunter, or simply someone who finds deep comfort in the presence of wild things — this property is nothing short of paradise. SUSTAINABILITY & SELF-SUFFICIENCY A comprehensive solar array paired with three Tesla Powerwall backup batteries provides clean, resilient energy with profound independence from the grid. The standing seam metal roof — built to last generations — speaks to the same philosophy: uncompromising quality engineered for the long arc of a life well lived. THE GROUNDS A detached 1 bed / 1 bath ADU offers privacy and flexibility for guests, extended family, or income potential — fully self-contained and thoughtfully appointed. A full two-story barn with both power and water stands ready for horses, workshop, studio, or storage — a blank canvas for whatever your vision of the good life requires. Just 45 minutes from the conveniences of El Dorado Hills — yet utterly removed from the noise of the world — this is a property for those who have always known, somewhere deep, that the good life is not found in the city. It is found at altitude, on an Amador County ridge, with a glass of local wine in hand and a fox slipping through the tall grass below, watching the sun surrender to the Coastal Range while the Sierras glow copper behind you, and a hawk hangs motionless in the thermals above it all. This is that place. There is no other quite like it. Property Highlights: • Custom ridge-top home in Amador County with 360° VIEWS of the Sierra Nevada, Central Valley, and Coastal Range • Soaring cathedral ceilings, polished concrete floors, wood-burning stone fireplace with hearth • Chef's kitchen with sweeping granite countertops • Grand master suite with walk-in stone shower, luxury, oversized tub, and glass doors opening to the terrace and pool • Built-in pool — heated and cooled — with breathtaking ridge-top views • Screened patio with jacuzzi and spectacular western sunset exposure • Fully fenced and cross-fenced acreage • Wildlife abounds: deer, wild turkeys, hawks, golden eagles, fox, squirrels, and birds galore • Full solar array with 3 Tesla Powerwall backup batteries · Standing seam metal roof • Detached 1 bed / 1 bath ADU • Full two-story barn with power • 45 minutes to El Dorado Hills, CA — a dream home away from it all
