PROPERTY DESCRIPTION:

Step onto 12442 Trembath Mountain Road and you're walking the same ground as Fiddletown's earliest settlers. The stone walls, pioneer structures, and remnants of a 19th-century creek-front settlement aren't just scenery — they're a living connection to California's Gold Rush origins.

At the heart of the property, a creek winds beneath a canopy of heritage oaks, some 200 to 300 years old. This corner of the land is its own sanctuary — cool, quiet, and unhurried. A genuine oasis, and one of those rare places that stops you in your tracks the moment you arrive.

Spanning 64.66 private acres in Amador County's beloved Gold Country, this is one of the most complete and ready-to-build parcels to come to market in years. A graded building pad commands sweeping sunset views and is already served by power, a private well, and a septic permit approved for a 4-bedroom home — with existing architectural plans available if you want a head start. 

Multiple building sites offer flexibility for a guest house, barn, or future expansion, while the rolling terrain and open meadows welcome horses, a hobby farm, or simply wide-open space to breathe.

All of this sits minutes from historic Fiddletown village and the acclaimed Shenandoah Valley Wine Country. The town of Plymouth, just 15 minutes away, is home to the acclaimed restaurant Taste, the beloved Fig Barn café and bakery, a summer farmers' market, and the storied Plymouth Hotel. Twenty minutes in the other direction brings you to the precious twin Gold Rush towns of Amador City and Sutter Creek, with their collection of restaurants, cafes, galleries, and shops that make a weekend here feel like a proper escape.

Parcels like this — with history, ancient trees, living water, infrastructure, and acreage all in one place — almost never become available. This is a rare chance to own something truly irreplaceable.
