About this home
Welcome to Rich Gulch Ranch, a working ranch with 230 acres. Set in the heart of California's historic Gold Rush country, this expansive Calaveras County ranch combines working-ranch utility, scenic foothill beauty, and exceptional long-term potential. The ranch is comprised of four connected legal parcels totaling 230 acres, creating a rare blend of scale, flexibility, and usability. With three separate access roads, the property offers convenient entry points for ranch operations, equipment movement, future improvements, or potential multi-site use where permitted. The front acreage is organized into fenced pastures, while the back portion of the ranch offers additional open ground, internal roads, elevated view areas, and natural terrain that continues to be maintained and cleared by grazing goats. Existing roads, fencing, usable pads, and hilltop building sites provide a strong head start for a future estate, family compound, retreat, or continued working-ranch operation. The two 1,800-square-foot steel workshops add significant utility for a working ranch, hobby operation, contractor, car enthusiast, or owner-builder. One shop is configured as an auto and equipment workspace with a hydraulic in-ground lift, metal shelving, office area, doors at both ends. The second shop provides dry storage, with mostly dry-walled interiors and separate rooms that could serve as storage, office space, tack, feed, tool, or flexible utility areas. The updated residence features simulated wood flooring, refreshed cabinetry, updated appliances, an open living area, two bedrooms, and two bathrooms. Outdoor living spaces include a back deck, a side patio with expansive views, and a covered picnic and beer-garden area with space for brewing. Beyond its natural beauty, this property offers something truly rare: a direct connection to California's gold rush. Situated in historic Rich Gulch, the land lies within documented underground gold mine workings and placer gold mining. Water is provided by Calaveras Public utility District. A private well next to the residence has a new pump replaced in 2023 however the final plumbing and electrical connections remain disconnected. A seasonal creek that runs through the property and is fed by a number of year round springs on the property, two of which are captured in a historic spring catchment box. The property elevation ranges from 1700-2100 feet, ideal in all seasons with only occasional light snow in winter....
