About This Home

As of June 2026

Once in a lifetime opportunity to own part of the historic Shinn Ranch. Awesome estate quality land, gentle rolling acreage. Wildlife abounds here. Old Victorian Ranch house, Large pond to fish in, and a 3 inch combo Ag/res water meter are included in this 40 acre parcel. Keep this old home as an ADU and build your dream home with views of the pond and a separate entry off a gated private road. The largest of four separate parcels, three are listed for sale. One recently sold. Gorgeous large country estates surround the property. Minutes from the historic towns of Placerville and Diamond Springs. Newly approved parcel map (please don't use the old one). This would make an awesome equestrian ranch, family compound or vineyard. Locked gate. Please do not trespass onto the property.
